taking back red california
Matt Lockshin, a reader who has been the source of a couple of my pieces on California politics here...has another good one: Take Back Red California, an organization dedicated to fighting for every vote in our recently "Blue" State.
Oftentimes the difference between sticking in our Blue strongholds and actually working for change is as simple as crossing a hill. Richard Pombo, (link is to a must read Sierra Club article), a Congressman in an adjacent district to both Matt and me, just proposed to sell off, among other things, naming rights to our National Parks if not a few parks themselves. Pombo might just find that some Blue activists here in Barabara Lee's district (Oakland/Berkeley) have taken an interest in helping our allies and neighbors in Pombo's turf. Kicking Pombo out of D.C would be a nice start to the process of taking back red California.

From our first efforts at contacting many friends and elected officials in the district, we have enjoyed unprecedented support. This support has materialized in the full resources being made available to us from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Washington D.C. We are frequently in touch with their staff and have at this point their support for this very important, nationally targeted race.
I wasn't aware that the DCCC had officially endorsed Filson. I know they're treating him like their golden boy ever since Ellen Tauscher (CA-10 and DLC Vice Chair) brought him to meet the DCCC bigwigs in Washington. If they haven't endorsed him officially, then this is out of line. If they have, I wonder how they could justify endorsing someone who's only endorsement comes from a Congresswoman in another district. I certainly smell a rat.
