Xavier Becerra

Also listed in: 9 groups

Today I went to go have coffee with Xavier Becerra at Glassel Park Council man Erick Garcetti office. It was great, and I loved-it. I am the Field Organizer for Congressional District 31, but not because I am big on politics. I have tons of grassroots experience, which Organizing For America is. I love the energy from every side of all the issues. It was kind scary, but fun.

Xavier Becerra stand for support for Presidents Obama's Public Option, but he has also has submitted his own health care plan into congress. His plan is a little different, but not so much.

I just put up my first fundraiser up, and I hope people donate. Organizing For America is non-profit, and I need to educate California Congressional District 31, which is 40 miles of urban areas. How excited I am about this great opportunity, I don't get paid for this. I am asking for help, and any little change you might have would go a long way. Please help me to educate the American people about the public option. Thank you for time, and for reading my blog =)

Don't Hand Us Over to the Dem Party

By Alberto - Nov 14th, 2008 at 1:48 pm EST

Also listed in: Latinos for Obama | Obama Pride | CA CD 31 - California 31st Congressional District

Regarding the recent article in the L.A. Times: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-transition14-2008nov14,0,1793844.story on what to do with all of us supporters now that President Elect Obama is in, I'd like to toss in my two cents by stating that the Democrats have, for much too long now, let me down and, as inspired as I am by Obama and as committed I am to he and some other leaders on the Hill, I am not inspired by Reid or Pelosi.

Obama ran on a campaign for change but handing us over to the Dem Party would isolate too many of us and, I fear, over time, make us jaded.

Rather, run messages to us from Obama and his administration and establish satelite offices to communicate local Dem issues we should pay special attention to... but don't throw us in with the group who may do little more than point the way to where/whom we're to attack. We want to build something - Do Something - and don't want to hear more about capitualation or cries to help fund the next local campaign. Locally, I'll be fighting to repeal Prop 8 - I still can't grasp how it even made it on the ballot in the first place or who, exactly, ran the initial No campaign against it.

Rushing this out from work - sorry it's such a mess.

Thanks.

Let's Get FIRED UP!

By CraigMc - Sep 15th, 2008 at 5:56 pm EDT

Hi all-- It's energizing to see the great new ad the Obama campaign is putting out to attack McCain's gutter tactics. Well written, well put together... I fear it might be dismissed as more liberal media pandering since they don't have a quote in there from more conservative media, but nonetheless, I think he's striking back well.

I also think it's pretty fascinating that Karl Rove is even speaking out against McCain's tactics: Karl Rove: McCain's Ads Have Gone Too Far

Mitt Romney also had some harsh words for the Senator.

Colin Powell, while still playing coy on the candidate he's backing, is calling for the campaigns -- cough, McCain, cough-- to return to the issues.

So.. What does this mean?

Dunno. I'm happy that there seems to be some pushback on the dumbing down and trivializing of this campaign so hopefully we can get back to the issues, an area where Obama/Biden seem to really have some strength and can finally undo this co-opting of the message of change and unseat these mavericks from their Ivorique tower-- I presume one of the late night shopping channels has some kind of weird Ivory substitute with an equally "my stripper name" nomenclature.

While all this news is coming in, I did have one additional thought. I know that our man, Barack, seems to have been rocked a bit by the inane yet damaging squeelings and rantings the McCain camp has presented as their campaign platform. Could be that since Obama (wisely) freed himself from the public campaign financing, he might just be biding his time, letting McCain's tantrums (and finances) dwindle. Like in boxing, letting your opponent tire themselves out with superficial blows before you wade in and finish them. Or like letting a 4 year old tire themselves out in a tantrum before you come in and explain things.

I don't know that it's a proven strategy. I don't know if it's actually Barack's strategy. But it certainly does kinda feel that way and explain why he's been so disciplined about dismissing these stupid attacks and pressing on the issues. He's given himself a lot of ammo for the debates. And hopefully it's this last sprint that's really going to seal the deal for him and get him into the White House.

Am I wrong? Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee... anyone.... Bueller?

A Letter from Anne Kilkenny

Just thought that this was interesting and that I should post it.

An interesting analysis of Sarah Palin by someone who actually knows her from her town of Wasilla. The letter has been checked out by snopes.com and was found to be attributed to the correct person Anne Kilkenny and she admits to have written it. Apparently Palin is not quite the maverick/reformer she is being advertised to be.

Amazing Crowd Packs SoCal Headquarters

By Jeremy D. Thompson - Sep 5th, 2008 at 12:10 pm EDT

Also listed in: 5 groups

Boosted by Barack’s powerful speech in Denver, and girded against continuing baseless attacks from St. Paul; grassroots activists and community organizers arrived in awe inspiring numbers at the opening of the Southern California headquarters of the Obama/Biden campaign.

With the office packed to capacity and supporters lined up for blocks down the street; the program, stage and crowd moved to the parking lot to accommodate not only the size but also the energy of a California campaign not content to win just one state, but dedicated to delivering victories across the West.

The bottom up coalition that grew from organic groups to a well-trained, well-oiled machine capable of making hundreds of thousands of volunteer calls each day never rested between Super Tuesday and now. In the months since February 5, Barack’s supporters have continued to train and organize new voices committed to bringing California (and America) the change it needs.

Those voices - old and new - cheered along with rousing speeches from early Obama supporters Maria Elena Durazo, Eric Garcetti, Mark Ridley Thomas and Rocky Delgadillo before Field Director Mary Jane Stevenson jumped in to give marching orders on how Californians can continue to make a difference in the Golden State and beyond.

While there is much to do to assure success up and down the ballot here, another huge part of our effort will be to effect change in neighboring Nevada. Nevada is a crucial battleground for November, and Barack needs support not just from all Nevadans, but also their neighbors - especially from California. To that end, the California campaign is recreating its “Drive for Change” program that was so successful during the Nevada caucuses in January.

Eventually, the excitement of the event had to end and the work needed to resume. For those who couldn’t attend, here’s how to jump in on the action:

First - if you haven’t already - sign up to be a part of the California team at http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/casignup.

Then, head to http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/CampObamaCA to enroll in an upcoming Camp Obama, where you can develop your skills as an organizer.

Most importantly, volunteers can participate in the Drive for Change program into Nevada at http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/nvdfcsept12. If you’re a student, consider a Nevada internship with the campaign (http://my.barackobama.com/nvoosintern).

The other party can mock Barack’s time as a community organizer. They can scoff at the dedication of volunteers committed to creating change in America. But come election day, it will be the voices of this overflow crowd in a Culver City parking lot, and millions more across this nation whose familiar chant of “Yes, we can!” will ring out in a resounding “Yes, we did!”

Sign up. Get trained. Be involved.

Make this America the one you want to see.

Even though we may be ahead in the polls in California, we still need to be sure we register new voters and get them all to the polls November 4th.

In addition, we can reach out and help our brothers and sisters in Nevada. The polls say Nevada is close and some of us can travel there to help register voters and canvass.

The Nevada team would appreciate our help. We are coordinating with supporters in Nevada.

Join our SoCal posse as we stampede into Clark County and round up all the unregistered voters for Obama!

It's August 22-24. We're organizing caravans and carpools to Las Vegas.
Limited supporter housing is available. Cheap hotel rooms are plentiful. Let's make Nevada Obama country.

Yippee!!!

Interested? Contact Dave Crocker, Out-of-State Travel Coordinator for Obamawood/North CD33, at DJCroc@yahoo.com.

Provide your name, email address and phone number. You'll be notified of all the details of when and where to meet.

(prior to Friday night 8-22-08). The event signup is also located at: http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gpgkjr

PLEASE, forward this information to any people or groups who can help. Let's get well over 100 people to Vegas.

Thanks.

LET'S WIN THIS ELECTION!

West Virginia Needs Phone Help!!

According to our West Virginia bretheren, Obama is down 30 points. We urgently need to close this gap! California doing the phone Indiana program was a great help in almost winning that state. We need an all out effort to help bring West Virginia around. The more we call the more West Virginians can focus on the ground game. Round up the troops and lets get going!!

West Virginia Ground Game

By XOXOXO - May 8th, 2008 at 11:59 am EDT

Also listed in: 10 groups

After monitoring many an email form West Virginia Obama volunteers the seem to feel that our best chance to defeat Hillary is in the urban areas of the state. This make alot of sense given Obama's popular demographics in similar states. It may be prudent to focus the ground game as the West Virgina folks suggest. Not that West Virginia rural areas need to be foresaken by the campaign effort in total. As far as the California phone call effort goes we should probably look at area codes and prefixes for urban areas as a primary concern. As with Indiana, concentrating on maximizing known pro-Obama areas seems to be a winning (or at least defeat minimizing) formula at least in the Primary season.

It is Now Time to Focus on the Message!

By XOXOXO - May 7th, 2008 at 9:48 am EDT

Also listed in: 10 groups

It ain't over until its over, but with Indiana being basically a split and North Carolina a solid win it is time to get back on track with Barack Obama's political message of change and healing. The handwriting is on the wall and the super delegates and campaign donations should be trickeling in and see us through the rest of the primary season. It is time that we, as basically surrogates for Obama, follow his lead and focus on the message. We have to not only heal the wounds of our party due to the intensity of the primary, but define our candidate before the Republicans can get their "swiftboat" hands on him. As shown in North Carolina and Northwestern Indiana, Obama has overcome the Rev. Wright issue as the conservatives ran it into the ground. Now is the time to define Obama by his message. We have this unique opportunity to positively bring our candidate to the forefront based upon issues rather than "gotcha." Yes, change is truly at hand, even now!

This is very disturbing news for the Hillary Campaign
