[Davis Democrats] Davis Democrat Club endorses 3 for Davis School Board

[G Richard Yamagata PhD]

Greetings Davis Democrat Club list members,

I have been asked to send this e-mail to the list and to Scott Lay for
transmission to the Yolo County Dems List.

The Davis Democrats endorses the following three candidates for Davis Joint
Unified School District:  Sheila Allen, RN, PhD; Gina Surkata Daleiden; and
Tim Taylor.  Please vote for them on this election day cycle.  

It is the view of many that Davis School Board has been the launching point
for many Republican candidates in Yolo County, though they have been
defeated in elections for higher office.  The problem is that the last
Republican to run for California Assembly, who was elected to the Davis
School Board, did better than anyone expected in Davis precincts in his last
run.  If not for the efforts of the Davis Democrat Club and other local
campaign workers at signing up new Democratic voters in Davis, he would have
been much closer at the polls, commenting that he had significantly
increased the number of Davis voters voting for him.  His statement was that
if the number of people that voted for him were not offset by new Democrat
voters, he would have won the last election in 2004.  With the new Democrats
signed up to vote in Davis, the percentages remained roughly the same, even
though total voter turn numbers were way up from the last election.  

The Bottom Line is:  This is why the DDC would like you to support these 3
Democrats running for Davis School Board filling the 3 available seats on
election day.  This is important for the future governance of Yolo County
and the region.

The Califorina Democratic Party recomments the following positon on the
propositions:
Vote No on Proposition 73
Vote No on Proposition 74
Vote No on Proposition 75
Vote No on Proposition 76  
Vote No on Proposition 77
Vote No on Proposition 78
Vote Yes on Proposition 79
Vote Yes on Proposition 80

The Bottom Line is:  Send a message to the Republican party and Arnold by
defeating his ballot initiatives.  This will substantially weaken Arnold and
the Republican platform in their campaign run for Governor and other
statewide elected seats in November 2006.  We can take back the governor's
office in 2006!

Thank you for your attention,

G Richard Yamagata for the Davis Democrat Club
