A Candidates Forum
A warm sunny, Sunday afternoon perfect for a stroll on the beach or lazing in a lawn chair. Yet more than 150 progressive, Marin and southern Sonoma County voters showed up at Olney Hall, College of Marin, to hear six candidates for the 6th Assembly district answer questions about their positions, their backgrounds, and their abilities. Candidates who came to the Forum were John Alden, Greg Brockbank, Damon Connolly, Frank Egger, Jared Huffman, and Pam Torliatt. Wanden Treanor decided not to run. More than 40 organizations co-sponsored this event that gave voters an early look at the candidates and the campaigns. Spearheaded by a committee called Voters for Representative Government, the Forum was a successful first effort at involving voters. More Forums are planned for locations in Sonoma and Marin.

Attend a "Leave My Child Alone" HouseParty Join a local House Party or Meetup on Wednesday, June 1st. People across the country will be gathering with neighbors and friends to take action on "Leave My Child Alone," a project put together by Working Assets, MMOB (Mainstreet Moms), and ACORN. At your local event, you can find out more about No Child Left Behind's sneaky military recruitment requirement, take some bite-size actions to help all of our children get opted out, and lobby the local school district and school board to better protect family privacy. Most important, you will connect with other people in your community who want to help protect our children from possible overreach by Pentagon recruiters.
