Subject: Davis: Phone bank for Nevada on Saturday

   
                   
 Friend --

Tens of thousands of Iowans showed up this week to support the President at
their caucuses. Nevada's Democratic caucuses are in just 16 days.

This fall, we began pitching in to support our neighbors in Nevada as they
mobilize their friends and neighbors to caucus for 2012.

Now, we're getting down to the wire.

That's why you should come out to a phone bank in Davis on Saturday. We'll
call Nevada voters and encourage them to get involved in their caucuses --
and we won't even need to travel to do it.

Can you make it? 
<https://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/phonebank/gppzb7>

Here are the details:

   What: Phone bank for Nevada from Davis

Where: 912 Colby Drive
Davis, CA 95616

When: Saturday, January 7th
Shifts starting at 2:30 pm

 <https://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/phonebank/gppzb7>

When we help out our Nevada neighbors, we're helping them beyond energizing
voters and supporting them as they organize for their caucuses. We're also
helping to recruit the volunteers that will reach into their neighborhood
networks to ensure success for Democrats up and down the ticket in 2012.

If we lend a hand to the people who are driving the work in Nevada, they'll
be able to get these teams organized even faster -- and they'll be even more
ready come November.

RSVP now to join the phone bank in Davis on Saturday:

	the State Address
Message-ID: <4F176FD3.4080400@virtual-markets.net>

Greetings Fellow Democrat Activists,

The following was submitted to this list as something of interest to all 
active Democrats.

================================

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT:

January 18, 2012 Melissa Jones

Wolk comments on Governor?s State of the State address

Supports Governor?s overall approach, but presses for more ?affordable 
and realistic? solution for Delta



SACRAMENTO?Senator Lois Wolk (D-Davis) issued the following statement 
today regarding Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr.?s State of the State 
address. Wolk chairs the Senate?s Governance and Finance Committee, 
which oversees efforts to help state and local governments work together 
efficiently and effectively, as well as the Select Committee on Delta 
Stewardship and Sustainability.



?The Governor?s overall approach is fiscally sound and should be 
supported by the legislature this session and the voters this November. 
It balances difficult cuts with temporary taxes to eliminate our deficit 
and get us back on sound fiscal footing. He also continued to emphasize 
shifting more authority locally and bringing government closer to the 
people.



?I especially like the Governor?s proposal to give local school boards, 
teachers, and principals more discretion on how to spend their dollars 
to meet their specific needs.



?I also support his emphasis on investing more in renewable energy. 
There is tremendous potential for economic growth and environmental 
benefits, especially in the agriculture sector. I have several 
legislative proposals that will help.



?On the Delta, I accept the Governor?s invitation to engage 
constructively to find a solution to restore the Delta and improve water 
supply reliability for the state. However, I don?t think it will require 
what the Governor described as ?an enormous project,? a giant canal, and 
taking 100,000 acres of Delta farmland out of production. But it will 
require supporting everyone?s effort to reduce reliance on the Delta as 
their primary source of water and relying more on sustainable regional 
water supplies. I look forward to working with the Governor and others 
on developing an affordable and realistic solution that all Californians 
can support.?

 AB?1148, the California DISCLOSE Act, will have its critical vote in the
Assembly Appropriations Committee this Thursday (January 19th).? This is a
do-or-die vote in our efforts to stop anonymous special interests from
deceiving voters about who is paying for political ads.

 Please sign the online petition for AB?1148 now, even if you've signed it
before.? When you do, it will send an email with the petition and your
comments from you to Speaker John P?rez, all of the Appropriations Committee
members, and your own Assemblymember.? That way they'll directly see how
strongly everybody wants to require political ads to show who really pays
for them:

With AB?1148, there will be no more fine print for disclosures and no more
hiding behind fake names like "California Jobs Initiative".? AB?1148 will
require political ads to show their three largest funders on a full screen
in large white print on a black background, with their logos.

 Not only will the California DISCLOSE Act apply to ads for and against
ballot measures, but it will also apply to independent expenditures for and
against candidates.? It will tell voters who is really funding propositions
and attack ads when it counts!

Join us in Sacramento for the Assembly Appropriations Committee Hearing for
AB 1148, the California DISCLOSE ACT!

?
AB 1148 passed the Assembly Elections Committee on January 9th thanks in
large part to over 100 people from all around the state who showed up to
testify.? Now the California DISCLOSE Act faces it's biggest test so far --
the all-important Assembly Appropriations Committee vote on Thursday,
January 19th.

Join us to pack the Assembly Appropations Committee hearing room to show the
legislature how much regular people like you are demanding an end to
anonymous ads that deceive voters about who's really paying for them.

The hearing will be in room 4202 of the Capitol building, but the time isn't
certain because it meets after the Assembly floor session starts.? We'll
plan to meet outside committee room 4202 at 10am to describe what to do what
to do.? Everybody who comes should have a chance to line up and say they
support the bill ? and the longer that line, the better its chances!

THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO SHOW MAJOR SUPPORT IN PERSON IN THE ASSEMBLY ?
EVERYTHING MAY RIDE ON HOW MANY PEOPLE LIKE YOU COME TO SPEAK.? The
committee has seventeen members, almost a quarter of the Assembly, and we
need to bring the huge amount of support for the California DISCLOSE Act to
their direct attention.

We'll also, time permitting, be breaking into groups with experienced
California DISCLOSE Act speakers to lobby key Assemblymembers and their
staff.
?

PLEASE REGISTER!? THERE IS A CHANCE THAT PLANS FOR THE HEARING CAN CHANGE,
SO WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO KEEP YOU UPDATED ABOUT ANY CHANGES AND
INSTRUCTIONS.

We'll be working to arrange carpools from most parts of the state.

Join us to show the legislature how much regular people like you want them
to pass AB 1148 so that political ads have to show who really is paying for
them!

Congressman Dennis Kucinich is running again, but in a new district drawn by
the Ohio state legislature (heavily Republican since the 2010 elections
funded by SuperPacs and the Koch Brothers). Kucinich has made a political
career out of battling against Big Energy. Now he has to campaign against
SuperPac anonymous money. Barney Frank, civil rights icon, has endorsed
Kucinich. If you have some spare change in this Great Recession, Kucinich
could use it to make sure your voice remains heard from within the People?s
Congress.
