Merry Gregor's Blog - November 2007
I, like all of you, have e-mailed, called and written to DiFi and other CA representatives to express concerns about upcoming issues and votes. I, like you, received trite responses from staff flunkies, or more often, no response at all.
So, I have taken a new tact in trying to get my voice heard. I can't really say how successful this tactic is yet, but I think if others also try it, the greater the numbers, the more successful it will be.
I now call the DNC (Democratic National Commitee in Washington, sorry I don't have the number available) and I tell them that because of DiFi, and the CDP, I will no longer, 1)contribute money to them because of DiFi or other failed actions, and this could be any other screw-up. 2) I ask them to take me off their solicitation list for funds. 3) I tell them I will no longer be available to a)sign up voters, b) circulate petitions, c) work to turn out the vote,d) hold house parties, You get the picture.
BUT, what is really important here is this: Now I can tell them I WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO HELP THEM FEND OFF THE REPUBLICAN CHALLENGE THAT SEEKS TO SPLIT THE ELECTORAL VOTE IN CALIFORNIA AND GIVE GUILIANIA 20 VOTES OF CA'S 55 ELECTORAL VOTES.
If you aren't aware of this movement. The ever underhanded and malicious Congressman Darrell Issa (R) San Diego area, is part of and has given at least $100,000 to efforts by Guiliani supporters to put an initiative on the ballot to change CA law to allow the awarding of the Electoral votes (currently 'Winner-take-all) to the Winner of each district, thus effectively diluting the Clout of the California Vote. A signature drive is already underway.
The California Democratic Party, and indeed the DNC will need us 'foot soldiers' to stop this action and defeat this proposal. The need for our help makes me believe that we still have cards to play and that the DNC will take our concerns more serious than the CDP has done. It seems the CDP, in its own audacity has shot itself in the foot. They really are going to need us. But we can hold out for some kind of concession. A concession that, at least calls for reading this Censure resolution into the record and perhaps passing it. And why not pass it. It does not cost DiFi her job. It just shows her to be the fraud she actually is and shows that many CA voters care and recognize her betrayal.
I think it is a card worth playing. If there is anybody out there who knows a specifie person at the DNC to convey this dissatisfaction to, I would like to know the name.

It's time for a letter writing campaign. Get out the Pens and Papers or keyboards and select your favorite or local paper. This kind of censorship by the California Democratic Party OF other Democrats must not stand, particulary if it involves an act of violence. We must let the CDP know that even if Feinstein is not going to run for re-election, they still are going to need us for ANY Democratic candidate to get elected and WE WILL NOT BE IGNORED. Keep those signatures comming. Keep spreading the word to all the blogs you go to, maybe they have similar problems with their representation. Keep letting the CDP know that THEY DO NOT HOLD ALL THE POWER. As the numbers continue to grow, they will begin to get the message.
