Coastside Democrats host Sen Liz Figueroa

State Senator Liz Figueroa speak at the next meeting of the Coastside Democrats. The topic will be the Nov 8 election, especially the eight ballot propositions.

the meeting will be Thursday evening, Oct 6, at 7:30 pm, at Leslie Gardens, at 701 Arnold, near the corner with Main St. in HMB, a few blocks south of Cetrella.

Sen Figueroa represents a district in the south part of the East Bay, but she has a second home here on the Coast. She is a candidate for Lt Governor in 2006 along with our own Senator Jackie Speier and Insurance Commissioner, John Garamendi. It should be an interesting primary election next June.

The special election this November 8 will feature eight statewide propositions, including three that are considered the Schwarzenegger propositions. A fourth proposition has been designed to limit the political power of public service unions, a primary source of funds for Democratic candidates and issues. The State and County Democratic bodies recommend a NO vote on Props 73 through 78, and YES votes on Props 79 and 80.

Anyone who would like to help our club walk precincts and register voters during the Pumpkin Festival should contact us at: 712-0498 or PO Box 1046, Half Moon Bay, 94019 or by email to: [email protected] You are also welcome to come to our meeting Thursday evening.
