Thank-you!
On Friday the new Perception, Election, Deception, Greenback Dollars arrived in Palo Alto. It was a totally crazy day for me, as the accountant called to remind me that taxes were due (I had completely forgotten to give her the numbers for the first quarter for the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance). There were so many things to do and remember, and of course I spent most of my time baking cookies and a cake for the Campaign Kickoff Party. I persuaded Jules to make a cheesecake, which kept him up until midnight. Jonathan handled the presswork, which I hate doing.
Why Congress Should Serve People not Corporations
[Most of this was written years ago, when I first ran for Congress, before the financial crisis, as I removed it from the smart voter website, I thought that it still holds truth and power.]
Good Friday - Occupy Lockheed Martin Action
Busy as I am, I just couldn't resist the action at Lockheed Martin this morning. We gathered at 10 am, formed a circle, sang, and shared words. With banners, flags, signs, we walked to the main gates of Lockheed Martin to be joined by other committed peace activists. The Pacific Life Community holds monthly vigils on the fourth Friday of every month to send a simple clear message to the US government and the folks at Lockheed Martin, and the world:
Organizing Party - Easter Sunday...
As winter turns into spring, as we gear up for the upcoming primary election, as we finalize the art and materials for the upcoming printings, we are also holding an organizing party for the "Occupy Congress" campaign. The party will include music, cookies, food, and a chance to meet candidate, staff, volunteers, friends, supporters and to join in and support our efforts.
The party will be held at -
The Clubhouse
505 Cypress Point Drive in Mountain View.
F29 - Shut Down the Corporations - Report from Oakland...
Last week I interviewed David Osborne on Community Currency to ask him about how the idea of it came into being and how the organizing was going, as well as the thought and strategic motives behind it. I thought it was a brilliant, great idea and was glad to learn that 70 cities were participating, but I was sorry that the local groups were focusing most of their attention on the March Occupy Education actions.
January 27, 2012 - A Deluge of Events, Ideas...
My son and I have been working hard all week on campaign materials, the new website, my radio show. People have been phoning, volunteering, helping in many ways. An old friend, and gifted communicator, W. David Kubiak, who used to direct 911Truth.org and knows the complex language that I've been struggling with (Joomla) is in alignment with what we're doing and hopefully will make our website more functional, less embarrassing, and publicly presentable.

Occupy Congress! Pre- Kickoff Organizing Party, Saturday, January 21, 2012
It is clear that the vast majority of Americans are not being served by Congress, nor the policies which have set back human and civil rights throughout the world, and threaten all people with physical and institutional violence. Perhaps a government of, by and for the people was never a reality, but legitimate governments serve their people, and those which kill, exploit, impoverish, harm people deserve to be challenged. The Occupy Movement has risen in response to the most egregious crimes committed by Wall Street with the assistance of government.
January 9, 2012 - Occupy Congress
Ten years ago yesterday, we marched on Senator Feinstein's office to demand an investigation of 9/11. Yesterday we marched on the San Jose Courthouse where the infamous ruling that has been used to grant corporations the rights of people was written. Occupy San Jose organized the rally which was followed by a General Assembly.
