Would you give two "clicks" to help us turn Senator Feinstein around on the Employee Free Choice Act?
First "click" on the link below, and spend 5 minutes watching veterans testify at the L.A. Labor Fed's "Veterans and Jobs" Town Hall with Labor Secretary Hilda Solis. It will break your heart - and make your blood boil - to watch these brave men and women tell their stories about not being able to find jobs that pay them what they made defending America. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiqNY7fvI3A
Then "click" on "share" to send the video to your friends, co-workers, neighbors, and relatives. Senator Feinstein needs to make a choice and we hope that by spreading this video around she will choose us by turning our economy around.
Two "clicks" can make a difference!
In solidarity,
Maria Elena Durazo

As we work to reform our broken health care system in Congress, I want to hear from you about your experience trying to access and pay for health care services under the current system. From obtaining basic coverage to paying for the medication and treatments you need, most Americans can attest to how difficult it can be to obtain and pay for health care in this country. That is why I want to know about the struggles and obstacles you have encountered when dealing with our health care system, so that we make sure to fix what is broken and improve the overall system.
Please take a moment to send me a brief message about your health care story by clicking here. (NOTE: use my Web site email system to send me your message.)
Our economy and fiscal future are tied to building on what works in our health care system and fixing what doesn’t. I am optimistic that as Congress continues to work with the President, the goal of bringing affordable, quality health care reform for the American people will finally be accomplished this year.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Subject: Great News on the "You gotta be there event" for Dem Club Members only....
Hey Dem Club Members!
I have talked with the team for the Gavin Newsom event at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood (Tuesday, April 28) and they agreed that Democratic Club members should be special guests at the event - so the next 24 hours, if you RSVP using the link and directions below, we would love you to attend the event at the special democratic club member price of $20.00
Feel free to forward this e-mail to any and all Dem Club members you know.
To get this special admission fee - here is what you do -
Go all the way to the bottom of the page, and input $20.00 where it says "Can't attend? Donate."
Donate $20.00 - this will put you on the list as a Democratic Club Member and you will be able to attend. I will have a list of all of you.
"Disclaimer" This announcement in no way implies that any Democratic Club has endorsed Gavin Newsom for Governor of California. I am merely sharing an opportunity for Dem Club members who might wish to attend.
For those of us who can’t get enough Lincoln, on April 3-4 (Fri.-Sat.) 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m., the Huntington Library, to mark the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s
birth, will bring together a distinguished group of scholars--including Pulitzer Prize winners James McPherson and Daniel W Howe---to discuss America’s 16th president, his times, and his historical impact. $25. Registration: skrasnoo@huntington.org or 626-405-3432. I have attached a detailed flyer with the program information.
Ever try to walk down a road with no sidewalk? Been forced
into a close call with traffic while biking through a busy intersection? Ran
across a street with no crosswalks to catch your bus?
Well, Congress has a chance right now to change our
old road-building habits and make sure our streets take all of us into
account, whether we're walking, biking, or taking public transportation.
Because roads aren't just for cars—they're for all of us.
But our representatives in Congress need to hear from their
constituents—from you and me—that there's a real demand for safer streets from
folks everywhere in the country. I just sent my members of Congress a message
asking them to co-sponsor this "complete streets" bill—will you send
a letter too?
Mandating complete streets for new road construction is a
no-brainer. It would ensure that we have safe sidewalks and bike lanes,
pedestrian crossings, and safe places to wait for public transportation. It
would help revitalize business districts, keep kids safe on their way to
school, and allow seniors and Americans20with disabilities to move around town
with freedom and flexibility. And doing it right the first time is
significantly cheaper than having to retrofit streets once they’ve been
constructed.
Local governments are already leading the way. More than 80
state and local governments have passed ordinances mandating that new road
construction provide a full menu of transportation options to meet the needs of
everyone using the road. Now we need Congress to take the next step for all
Americans—to make cities and towns safer and make it easier for people to leave
their cars at home.
The California Democratic Party has always relied on the
involvement of grassroots activists and volunteers to make our Democratic
Party what it is. Without your energy, time and dedication we would not
have achieved the many Democratic victories up and down California as well
as the historic election of President Barack Obama.
We must keep the energy going! Our State Convention
depends on the overwhelming turnout of our dedicated volunteers and we
need your help again at our 2009 State Convention April 24- 26 in
Sacramento.
We will need more than 800 volunteers to facilitate a
productive and enjoyable convention for the approximately 3,500 delegates,
guests and press in attendance. Volunteers are needed in several areas –
some assignments will require sitting while others may involve standing or
acting as a runner. Please let us know as soon as possible if you have any
special needs and/or physical limitations. Please also tell us if you have
any special skills that might be useful, especially skills like photography
or videography. We will do our best to position
you within your ability and interest.
This year, our volunteers will help make the 2009
Convention a successful tribute to the 13 years of leadership and service
of Senator Art Torres, outgoing Chairman of the California Democratic
Party. Many statewide constitutional officers and legislative leaders will
attend to help make this an exciting and memorable event. There will be
opportunities for volunteers to attend General Session and to hear some of
our great speakers after their shift!
If you are interested in volunteering, please complete the volunteer form by March 20, 2009 for best
availability. If you have any questions, please contact Christopher
Guerrero, Volunteer Director at (916) 442-5707 or email volunteer09@cadem.org.
Please note: In order20to volunteer at the State
Convention you must sign-up in advance. There will be
a mandatory meeting for all volunteers on Thursday, April 23, 2009 at the
Convention Center in Sacramento.
I look forward to seeing you at the Convention.

we speak up for or against the politics affecting our communities.

We welcome the
participation of registered democrats who are willing to participate
in political organizing, meetings, community events, etc.
