Clean Money Grassroots Summit in Palo Alto

Join the Clean Money Grassroots Summit on May 7
— Make history by passing the most powerful anti-Dark Money bill in the nation!
Earlier this year, Clean Money activists like you and our allies helped AB 700, the California DISCLOSE Act, achieve a landmark bipartisan 60-15 victory in the Assembly, with a record 9 Republicans joining every Democratic Assemblymember in voting Yes.

California Clean Money Campaign grassroots leaders and activists throughout Northern California will be coming to a full-day summit on May 7th in Palo Alto.

Join us to learn how to talk about AB 700 and the other new Clean Money bills — and to plan the full-scale grassroots campaign to get the strongest bill disclosing secret money on political ads in the nation through the Senate and into law!

WHAT:     Clean Money Grassroots Summit
WHEN:    Saturday, May 7th from 9:00am-4:30pm  (Light breakfast at 9:00am.  Lunch will also be served.)
WHERE:  Unitarian Universalist Church, 505 E. Charleston Rd, Palo Alto, CA (in a handicapped-accessible building)
COST:     Free (but co-sponsorship or donations appreciated)

CARPOOLS will be coming from all over, so contact us if you need a ride or can offer one.

This is a full-day summit; however, you can come for just the morning or afternoon sessions if you can’t make the whole day.  The morning is a detailed training and update on the new AB 700 and other new bills, and the afternoon session is about implementing the campaign plan.

Can’t make it?  Please chip in to help us have a successful summit and campaign!

For questions about transportation or lodging, email info@CAclean.org or call Nancy at 650-339-9540.  We’d all love to see you there and have you join in planning and working for our winning campaign!

2015 Accomplishments

ACCOMPLISHMENTS in 2015.finalThe Dean Democratic Club of Silicon Valley did it again.  We are so proud of our accomplishments!  We are proud of all we’ve done and continue to do. The Dean Democratic Club continues to be one of the most active, involved Democratic clubs in Santa Clara County.

Michael Eggman Fundraiser

Michael Eggman Event Invite copyJoin us for an event in support of Michael Engman, candidate for California’s 10th Congressional District.

We are so fortunate that Michael made the decision to run again, this time in a Presidential election year. The Democratic votes are there in CD 10, and this is a district that should go red to blue. (43% Dem, 28% Rep, 24% DTS) If Trump is the Republican nominee, it should be much easier to turn out the Latino vote (the district is 41% Latino).

Jeff Denham, the Republican incumbent, voted for the TPA, against the Iran nuclear accord, for a stronger screening process for refugees from Syria and Iraq, for the government shutdown in 2013, for the resolution to sue President Obama, and basically against pretty much every issue we care about. Here is some rating information:

League of Conservation Voters: 10%
ACLU: 11%
US Chamber of Commerce: 92%

For the following right-wing groups, Denham gets 100%: Competitive Enterprise Institute, Center for Security Policy, National Right to Life Committee, Family Research Council.

Please come on the 17th and find out how we can help the campaign! No one will be turned away for lack of funds; volunteers will be needed to walk precincts or do other tasks. Michael will be a breath of fresh air and truly represent the people of CD 10.
