Quotations

Our decision about energy will test the character of the American people and the ability of the President and the Congress to govern this nation. This difficult effort will be the "moral equivalent of war," except that we will be uniting our efforts to build and not to destroy.

August 7: Great day at our annual booth at the Clairemont Family Fun Day. Joined by candidates Howard Wayne and Francine Busby, along with Steve Rivera and Tim Orozco representing Howard Wayne and Toni Atkins.Stephen Whitburn dropped by too and we even had many other volunteers with one coming all the way from Ramona. Earlier this year we had booths at Linda Vista and University City as well.
July: Scott Tempesta, former "Scooter" in the old Air America days here in San Diego kept us all in stitches as he discussed the very serious issue of progressive radio today and the eventual transition of radio to computers. Just "google" progressive talk radion to listen to your old favorites. We also had the opportunity to hear from candidates Howard Wayne, Stephen Whitburn and John DeBeck.
June: Richard Barrera, President of the Board of Education for the SD Unified School District, spoke on the wonderful job teachers are doing to educate our children. But California's education is in crisis with larger classrooms. Future budget cuts will eventually result in a permanent divide between haves who will pay for private schools and small classes & those remaining in larger and larger classes. It is urgent that we elect Democrats who will fight for a strong public school system. Voted to endorse Howard Wayne along with ALL other Democrats who ran in the primary and will running off in the General Election. Keep your signs in your yard!

The Mesa Club helps the SDCDP continue to Increase our Blue Majority

Area Coordinators will be working with Club Coordinators to make sure our Democratic edge continues to grow. The Mesa Club has a history of volunteer accomplishments.
