Mobilizing The Troops
I got a personal call this morning from the chairman of the local Republican party, wondering why his e-mails to me are bouncing. (It's because my ISP has finally put in some decently aggressive anti-spam measures.) I told him I'd whitelist him, and then mentioned that one of the most recent things caught in the spam filter was the latest self-aggrandizing piece of cr*p newsletter from our local congress-moron.
He then told me the best shot at getting rid of said moron, short of death (which we most certainly do not advocate, no we do not) is to mobilize every voter in California to vote yes on Proposition 77, the re-districting initiative.
If you are on the fence about Prop 77, consider this. Often you can know someone (or something) by their enemies as well as by their friends. Need I mention that the "usual suspects" (i.e. the left-wing loonies) are the ones stepping forward to oppose 77? Who do you want to align yourself with on this one?

I've heard a bit about this even on my side of the country. Isn't it a question that redistricting would be handed over to an independent commission, rather than the state assembly? It seems to me that they've gerrymandered the districts such that EVERYBODY is safe, democrat or Republican. Not a good way to give the people real choice come election time.
