Powell endorses Obama for president

Colin Powell is a respected figure in America and in American history. I have always felt that Powell has been the social conscious in the Bush Administration, at best under the circumstances.

Powell tells it straight, with honesty, and with great concern for the conscious and future of America.

I almost weeped with pride for Mr. Powell. I hope that those who maybe undecided look at this as a sign to do the right thing for America.

Time to Move-On; Campaign 2008

After today’s June Primaries, it's time to move on to the general election and defeat McCant (McCain).

Dems need to get over the in-fighting and lay in on the Reps. Those of my Democratic brothers and Sisters in California know that we must really plan on going out of Cal to make a serious impact.

There are party leaders or pseudo leaders who rally troops in heavily democratic districts should really think about this and forgo the ego. I find that some political activist who lay claim to local leadership get people worked up to work in dem strongholds to stroke their ego for having "done something" in the elections. NOT!

If you want to win pack your bags and rough it in a state that really matters in the General Election. Otherwise, local campaigning in heavy dem districts is just an exercise of ego.

Mount up and stay thirsty my friends!

Vote Measure M - Los Nietos School Bond

My family has been in Los Nietos for over 150 years attending Los Nietos schools. My family were directly involved in the building of the early school houses and has been active in the districts for those 150 years.

The facilities are just as old and in need of dire repair.

I vote for Measure M is a vote in the future of children and in my beloved Los Nietos.
