Help Obama Win A Filibuster-Proof Majority

obama martin youtubeWe know that you have missed those happy days phone banking at our Headquarters on Bonifacio Plaza.  That is why we are reopening the phone bank starting tomorrow, Sunday.

We are running phone banks on behalf of Democrat Jim Martin, (D) Georgia in his December 2nd run-off against Republican Saxby Chambliss.  If Martin wins, he will bring us within one vote of a filibuster proof majority.

Our goal is to call 5,000 Georgians in 7 days. 


Can we do that?  You fill in the answer:  ____ we can!

Find out more about Jim Martin and about who else is campaigning for Jim Martin on his campaign website

John McCain is campaigning for Chambliss, and the RNC is plastering the airwaves with Rovian negative ads.  Martin clearly needs our help.

Run-off elections usually have a low turn-out, so motivating Democrats is critical in winning this seat and just a few hundred more calls can make a big difference.

Why don't you sign up for one of the following phone banks:


We are calling Georgia, which is 3 hours ahead of us, thus the earlier phone banking shifts.

No on Prop 4: Step Outside Your Bubble

The Campaign for Teen Safety is putting up this TV ad explaining to voters the importance of voting No on Prop 4 - to step outside your bubble and see that many teenage girls will suffer abuse and other forms of mistreatment if Prop 4 passes:

California voters have twice before rejected this proposal, in both 2005 and 2006. Show the far right that Californians are not going to be fooled a third time, and vote NO on Prop 4.

Why We Need Dan Presser on the Airport Board

Dan PresserOur Airport is one of the most important institutions in Monterey County. It provides transportation for residents and tourists, creating jobs and sustaining our local economy. We need a qualified candidate who understands the Monterey Peninsula Airport's operations and its role in supporting local industries to oversee its operations.

That qualified candidate is Dan Presser.

"I am running for a seat on the Airport Board because the current Board has not lived up to its community responsibilities.  It has poorly supervised the Airport Manager and its appointed Legal Counsel.  It continues to accumulate excessive legal expenses while failing to generate adequate revenues and to promote the airport properly."
