From our friends at Organizing For America comes the following invitation:
The weekend of July 17, Organizing For America and local volunteers are teaming together to connect with voters in Fresno as part of our Vote 2010 Day of Action.
From city streets and rural farms, to suburban parks and local strip malls, we’re doing everything possible to get folks to commit to vote in November’s elections. This commitment is as important as it is simple and could tip the balance in races across the country that could be close.
In 2008, millions of new voters registered and turned out to cast their ballots in the November election, and that was a key part of President Obama’s victory. Our Vote 2010 program is similarly designed to register new voters and get those who cast votes for the first time in 2008 back to the polls this fall.
This is a big challenge, but we have too much on the line to come up short. It’s our job to stand up for President Obama and his allies, to make sure his opponents don’t succeed.
To join us in Fresno’s ‘Vote 2010 Day of Action,’ send your name, e-mail address and telephone number to event organizer Linda Traynor at traynor27@gmail.com. Then sign up at the Vote 2010 Registration Page on the Organizing For America website.
Volunteers are needed for a voter-registration and canvassing event sponsored by the San Joaquin Valley Democratic Club, scheduled 9 a.m.-2 p.m. this Saturday.
The plan is to meet 9 a.m. Saturday, June 12, at Einstein Park, 3566 East Dakota Ave. in Fresno, where instructions and canvassing partners will be provided. They’ll be focusing on this section of the 19th Congressional District. All you need is your energy; the SJVDC will provide the clipboards and cold water.
Want to participate? RSVP to James Williams at (559) 312-3925 or via e-mail at jamesdean19662000@yahoo.com.

Local peace, justice, and environmental organizations will showcase their work. Vendors will sell handcrafted goods, health and wellness products and services. Eighty groups will participate this year.
We come together to strengthen the movement against militarism, to bear witness, and to learn from each other.

Bob Mulholland, Campaign Advisor to the California Democratic Party, is seeking participants to help ‘greet’ Carly Fiorina, former chair of Hewlett-Packard and a Republican candidate for Senator, during her visit to Clovis tomorrow, Feb. 11. The message from Mr. Mulholland:
Since we’re not going to be like Massachusetts’ Democrats, local Democrats need to be at GOP events. Carly Fiorina is running in the GOP US Senate primary. She was the CEO of HP for 8 years and despite being fired she is a serious candidate because she is worth millions.
Can we get a few people outside this event by 11:40AM? On the closest public property with signs- white poster board: Fiorina Laid Off 28,000; Fiorina Was Fired; Fiorina Took a $21 million Severance Check.
For the greeting, Mr. Mulholland suggests the following talking points and messages:
- Carly Fiorina as the CEO of HP laid off 28,000 people- mothers and fathers with mortgages. She then sent the jobs oversees to Communist China and bought 2 Gulfstream jets for her personal use.
- Fiorina was fired as CEO at HP in 2005 for being mean and incompetent. During her 6 years as CEO, HPs stock dropped 44% in value. The very day Fiorina was fired, HPs stock went up 7% in value.
- But as part of her contract, Fiorina demanded a $21 million severance package, boosting her total compensation to $108 million over the 6 years.
Want to participate? RSVP to Larry Johnson, Fresno County Democratic Central Committee Treasurer, via e-mail at tuftz@comcast.net. Then, plan to be in the parking lot of the CargoBay Corporate Office, 2565 Alluvial Ave., in Clovis by 11:40 a.m.
  Want to lend your support to two Democratic candidates? Join the Central Labor Council (CLC) this Saturday, Feb. 6, during a precinct walk for candidates Henry T. Perea, running for California Assembly District 31, and Michael Rubio, running for the California State Senate.
Volunteer walkers will meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, at 537 E. Harvard Ave. in Fresno (close to Clinton and Van Ness). A BBQ lunch will be provided for all walkers by the Fresno Fire Fighters.
For more information or to RSVP, contact Angie Vega at (559) 222-1766 or via e-mail at angie@henrytpereaforassembly.com.
 The Fresno County Democratic Central Committee invites you to show your support for equality by participating in this year’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, scheduled Monday, Jan. 18, in downtown Fresno.
The day’s events will begin at 10 a.m. with a march from St. John’s Cathedral, 2814 Mariposa Ave. to the Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium. A commemorative program honoring Dr. King’s legacy will follow immediately at 10:45 a.m. inside Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium.
With a large number of participants expected, carpooling or taking mass transit to downtown is indeed recommended. We hope to see you there!
Interesting in helping the Fresno County Democratic Central Committee turn Fresno County ‘blue’? With the numbers gap between registered Democrats and Republicans in the county down to a few hundred, it’s time to kick it in on the home stretch, to see if we can turn the county before February.
Toward that goal, the FCDCC needs volunteers to help with voter-registration canvassing this month. To help, consider volunteering for our next canvassing event, scheduled 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 16. Volunteers will meet at the CalVoter office, 1304 E. Olive Ave. in the Tower District and can stay for the entire event or for just a couple of hours. During the event, we’ll be verifying the list of registered voters, with the intent of meeting people who wish to register and declare.
Want to participate? Contact James Williams via e-mail at jamesdean19662000@yahoo.com. We hope to see you there!
