On Sunday, there was a District 9 Supervisoral Candidate forum at the Secret Garden, sponsored by the Coalition on Homelessness.

The event, attended by a couple dozen people, featured three of the leading candidates for District 9, and I managed to take an unflattering picture of each of them.

Eric Quezada

David Campos

Mark Sanchez

Jennifer Friedenbach wrapped up the speaking portion of the event with a description of the Coalition’s activities.

I got an unflattering picture of her, too.

An Action Alert from Plan C

—– Forwarded Message —-
From: Plan C San Francisco
Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 4:15:00 PM
Subject: ACTION ALERT - Ask Fiona Ma to Vote Wiener, DCCC Chair

Help re-elect Scott Wiener as DCCC Chair! This Wednesday, July 23, there will be an election of the chair of the Democratic County Central Committee. This obscure body is one of the most powerful in the city, because it controls the endorsements of the Democratic Party for candidates and ballot measures (including those on this November’s ballot).

Two rallies at City Hall: Part 1

There are days when the steps of City Hall are scheduled very tightly. The hour before the Supervisors’ Land Use Committee’s meeting today was one of them. A coalition of housing groups has the noon slot to call for the extension of need-based housing subsidies.

Budget Betrayal

Paul Hogarth wrote a hard hitting piece in Beyond Chron on Sup McGoldrick’s Budget Betrayal today. He also reviews other key votes when McGoldrick betrayed progressives on issues that he claimed as part of his platform:

Change

Dear friends,

As many of you know, I ran as part of a slate for DCCC that we referred to as the HOPE slate, and later as the Change slate. At times this slate generated controversy, but ultimately, we were able to secure several more seats on the DCCC. Much thanks goes to Supervisor Chris Daly and Supervisor Aaron Peskin for encouraging people to run and much thanks goes to you for helping to make it a reality. We are now fortunate to have elected a strong, independent and progressive group of Democrats.

Which Side Are You On?

Does anyone have a copy of the mailer that the No on F people did? It has a photo-shopped picture of Chris Daly looking like a thug on one side and God and his angels on the other side suggesting that voters vote Yes on G.
Here is a response take-off picture.

AN ELECTION MESSAGE FROM CHRIS DALY

Progressives rarely spend as much money as our opponents and we usually don’t have the mainstream press with us. When we win elections, it is usually with shoe leather.

Right now, progressive campaigns for the DCCC are joining in coalition with tenant activists, affordable housing organizers, environmentalists, teachers, and City workers to change San Francisco. This turnout effort very well could decide the fate of both the local Democratic Party and even the future of the Bayview Hunters Point.

We will be delivering our message of change, with our CHANGE Slate, to progressive voters and getting out the vote. Please join us.

No on 98 Events This Week

Save Rent Control Campaign Activities & Events

Phonebanking (Monday, Wednesday & Thursday)
Save Our City Rally (Wednesday)
Haight-Ashbury Literature Drop (Saturday)
Carnaval Flyering (Sunday)
Get Ready For GOTV (Get Out The Vote)

Just 2 weeks to election day—so far so good but a lot to do this week and in the next few weeks. We’ll step up phonebanking, non-profit housing groups have organized a No on 98 Rally, we’ll deliver literature in the Haight-Ashbury–a key base neighborhood, and Carnaval this weekend provides a great flyering opportunity. We need to make sure we do a big push these last two weeks—landlords have $5 million in their campaign account and will be hitting us hard in the final two weeks, by mail, radio and probably on TV. We’ve done a great job so far: over 80,000 pieces of literature have been delivered door to door, we’ve called thousands of renters, mailed to 90,000 absentee renters and distributed thousands of flyers. But we can’t sit back while $5 million is thrown at us!
