Our Get Out The Vote Campaign is successful in canvassing Republican registered homes in Harvey Gilbert Rossmoor. We were delighted to find most Republicans were very dedicated to voting President - 2020 during the March California Primary Election. Also noted, were the number of Republicans who revealed that they are intimidated by the Democrats in Rossmoor who outnumber us and make them uncomfortable in expressing their conservative views. Since most Republicans are clear in their views of expressing themselves in support of constitutional values, they also wish to be accepted socially in Rossmoor, and thus tend to keep quiet in most politically mixed groups. It is clear that the other political side is somewhat intolerant of our views. There is currently an invitation for Christine Pelosi (Daughter of Nancy Pelosi and author of the book about the political career of her mother, a career Democratic politician, member of the Democratic National Committee, and works for the Democratic party) to speak at the Rossmoor Women’s Conference and promote the sale of her book. The Women's Conference is sponsored by the Counseling Service of the Rossmoor Foundation which is funded by our Rossmoor General Funds. Many of our members have written the Board of Rossmoor about the questionable policy of bringing highly political figures here under the sponsorship of our non-partisan Rossmoor Foundation. Of course, it is accepted that the Political Clubs are welcome to sponsor politicized speakers, but the Rossmoor General Fund was always expected to be politically neutral. The Counseling Service and Board CEO have responded to the letters sent, and said that she is “just a woman with a successful career” - and do not address our real concerns. Harvey Gilbert CABARET to be shown at 4pm, Wednesday, March 18, 2020, Peacock Room Adapted from the Broadway show, this hard-hitting musical drama is set in a decadent 1930s Berlin during Hitler’s rise to power. The film chronicles Cambridge student Brian Roberts’ friendship with the high-spirted American, Sally Bowles, a singer at the sleazy Kit Kat nightclub. The Nazis’ rise to power is an ever-present undercurrent in the film. This 1972 musical won eight Oscars, among them Bob Fosse won best producer, Lisa Minelli, best actress, Joel Grey, best supporting actor, but it lost best picture to The Godfather. The movie is 124 minutes, rated PG and will have captions. It will be shown on Wednesday, March 18 at 4:00 pm in the Peacock Theater. For more information call Mary Beth Hodge at (925) 954-1158.

    SB 52, the California DISCLOSE Act Disclose ballot measure funders where it counts most — On their ads SB 52, the California DISCLOSE Act, would fight back against unlimited hidden spending on campaigns by letting voters know who REALLY is paying for ballot measure ads — on the ads themselves. SB 52 is authored by Senators Mark Leno and Jerry Hill and sponsored by the California Clean Money Campaign. It requires a 2/3 vote to pass without going to the ballot since it amends the Political Reform Act of 1974. Democratic Support for the California DISCLOSE Act • SB 52 is endorsed by Democratic Party Central Committees of Alameda, Contra Costa, Los Angeles, Madera, Marin, Monterey, Orange, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Sonoma, and Ventura counties. It is endorsed by the California Democratic Party's Chicano-Latino, Environmental, Progressive, Rural, & Senior's caucuses, and by Christine Pelosi, chair of the Women's Caucus. • “We must fight for a new politics free of special interest money. Our plan is clear ― we need to DISCLOSE I know there’s a bill in California to this effect. We need to DISCLOSE.” ― Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader, endorser of SB 52, in speech to CA Democratic Convention, 2/12/2012 • “We’ve tried to fix this with a new law, one that would simply require that you say who you are, and who’s paying for your ad. This way voters are able to make an informed judgment about a group’s motivations… This is common sense.” ― President Barack Obama, in address on national DISCLOSE act

  • Campaign Boot Camp 2.0: Basic Training for Campaigns, Staffers, Volunteers and Nonprofits
    An Excerpt From Campaign Boot Camp 2.0: Basic Training for Campaigns, Staffers, Volunteers and Nonprofits by Christine Pelosi Published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers Contents Introduction 1 PART I H MESSAGE 1 Identify Your Call to Service 11 2 Define Your Message 48 PART II H MANAGEMENT 3 Know Your Community 79 4 Build Your Leadership Teams 101 PART III H MONEY 5 Raise the Money 135 PART IV H MOBILIZATION 6 Connect with People 161 7 Mobilize to Win 189 After-Action Review 219 Notes 223 Acknowledgments 229 Index 231 About the Author 241 Introduction My political activism began in the stroller. Every year, right before Halloween, my mom took us door to door through our neighborhood with election leaflets. Then a few days later we returned for trick-or-treating. To this day, we are not entirely sure whether those leaflets had any bearing on the kind of treats we received. Maybe all that excess chocolate from certain neigh- bors was a coincidence. It was unfathomable to us then that she would become Speaker of the House of Representatives nearly forty years later. But politics isn’t about the big leap to power; it’s about the thousands of steps taken with family, friends, and neighbors every day, from voting to volunteering to full-time civil, mili- tary, and political service. Millions of Americans have heeded a personal call to service: a voice of conscience that springs from vision, ideas, and values and urges participation. For many of us, activism begins with the rhythms of family traditions in civic, political, or faith-based action before we hear a singular beat that resonates.

While the presence of “dark money” turns many would-be candidates and voters away entirely from the electoral process, what is clean money, and what options do candidates have when it comes to running a “clean” campaign? Is it possible to run ethically and competitively? What is the state of campaign finance reform in California and more broadly? Tune in for a conversation featuring experts on campaign finance. Moderator: Christine Pelosi, Chair, CA Democratic Party Women's Caucus Attorney, author, and advocate Christine Pelosi has worked with thousands of activists and candidates through leadership trainings based on her books Campaign Boot Camp: Basic Training for Future Leaders and Campaign Boot Camp 2.0. General Counsel of WeSaidEnough.com, the group that launched the metoo politics movement in October 2017, Christine is an outspoken survivor and advocate demanding changes to law and policy to create a culture of respect and equity and to achieve restorative justice for victims of harassment, discrimination, bullying, and abuse.

  • Maggie Linden, Vice President, Sponsor: Witham & Dickie Campaigns & Elections
    I hope you will enjoy visiting my beautiful congressional district of San Francisco. Your work to elect Democrats in 2006 has already brought change to our country. In our fi rst 100 days, the Democratic House of Representatives began to take America in a new direction: passing the 9/11 Commission recommendations, raising the minimum wage, cutting student loan interest rates and prescription drug prices, promoting stem cell research, cutting subsidies to Big Oil in favor of alternative energy research, implementing ethics reform and pay-as-you-go budgeting, protecting our veterans, and calling for responsible redeployment and accountability in Iraq. We are prepared to lead, ready to govern, and determined to make you proud. Congratulations and thank you for your excellent work in electing New Direction Democrats from the West to Congress: Representatives Gabrielle Giffords (Arizona), Harry Mitchell (Arizona), Jerry McNerney (California), Ed Perlmutter (Colorado) and Mazie Hirono (Hawaii); and for waging competitive races in Idaho, New Mexico, Washington state and Wyoming. Working together, we will grow our House and Senate majorities and win back the White House in 2008. Onward to a great Democratic victory! Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House There’s so much to do and see in this great city; I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time. I want to thank you for all the hard work you’ve done to help move our Party forward. You were instrumental in key Senate races in Colorado and Montana, and I’m so proud to be serving with Senators Ken Salazar and Jon Tester. The West has changed a great deal; you’ve done incredible work and made a huge difference.

Jill Wine-Banks: And I'm Jill Wine-Banks, the author of The Watergate Girl, an MSNBC legal analyst, and a wearer of Jill's Pins. And today's pin is in special honor of our guest, Susan Page. It is a old fashioned newsboy because I think of Susan, although she's a wonderful author, but I think of her primarily as a newspaper woman. So we're very fortunate to have Susan with us today. We're going to talk a little bit about her second book, Madam Speaker, which Victor is holding up a copy of so that you can all see it and go and buy it. Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power. Victor Shi: Anyone who has come across Nancy Pelosi, whether Republican or Democrat will tell you that she is a trailblazer, master negotiator and a powerful force in Washington D.C.. The first woman elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy broke a glass ceiling and in that role has advanced historic legislation including the Affordable Care Act and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act guaranteeing equal pay for women. But beyond her legislative acumen and the paths she's paved for future generations of women, there's so much more to know about Nancy Pelosi's life and her approach to her job.
