this november---YES on prop 30
Dear Sharon,
The California Dream was built on a strong system of public schools and colleges that gave every Californian access to the education they needed to succeed.
But now, California’s public education system is at a breaking point.
Our state’s class sizes are amongst the largest in the country, and we continue to hurt our students by making cuts: Over the last fours years we cut $20,000,000 from our schools, and laid off more than 30,000 educators.
We can’t continue cutting our schools and still keep the economy strong for the next generation. That is why I introduced Proposition 30.
Proposition 30 will temporarily increase the income tax for the highest earners in California—families making more than $500,000 a year---and it will lower sales tax to a rate that is less than it was last year.
If passed, Prop 30 will increase funding for every part of our educational system, and provide enough money to avoid yet another tuition hike.
But Prop 30 can’t become a law without your support. So will you join me and sign our pledge to vote for Propositions 30 this November?
As someone who has attended one of California’s public universities, I know how much public education means. It cultivates the talent of the students in our state, and for many it is the only affordable option for higher education.
Let me be clear: Proposition 30 is the only measure on the November ballot that stops the cuts to education and invests in our schools and colleges starting this year so we can prepare the next generation for the jobs of the future.
If passed, Prop 30 will help reduce billions in future prison costs through realigning control to the local level while helping pay down California’s debt.
Fixing our educational system is the first step to so many other reforms that will help the state of California. So please, join me and sign our pledge to vote for Proposition 30 now.
The fate of our educational system is in the hands of voters like you, and I know we can all unite to fight for a California with well-funded schools.
Thank you your support.
Governor Jerry Brown

ann coulter and donald trump--republican embarrassments
ann coulter and donald trump--republican embarrassments
the king and queen of self-promotion---donald trump and ann coulter
the right continues to struggle--OMG ann coulter
Special Olympics athlete takes Ann Coulter to task over Obama slur
Ann
Coulter is one of a class of political commentators whose primary, if
not sole, purpose is to inflame emotion, not inspire thoughtful
discussion. She adheres to a tired, time-honored formula: throw a verbal
bomb, laugh at the fallout, accuse her detractors of being
stupid/unable to take a joke. Repeat ad infinitum.
But every so often, someone like Coulter draws the attention of
someone who has the intellectual and/or moral high ground, and the
result is the rhetorical equivalent of a nature video where the predator
zeroes in on and eviscerates its prey.Coulter's latest I'm-so-outrageous comment came in the wake of the final presidential debate on Monday night:
Straight
class there, Ann. Anyway, the tweet (and its followup a few hours
later, "If [Obama's] the smartest guy in the room, it must be one
retarded room") drew the notice of John Franklin Stephens, a Special
Olympics athlete. A 30-year-old with Down Syndrome, Stephens has spoken
out frequently on the use of "retarded" as a slur, and wrote an open letter to Coulter on a Special Olympics blog. A sample of Stephens' letter:I thought first of asking whether you meant to describe the President as someone who was bullied as a child by people like you, but rose above it to find a way to succeed in life as many of my fellow Special Olympians have.Stephens adds, "You assumed that people would understand and accept that being linked to someone like me is an insult and you assumed you could get away with it and still appear on TV." (Sadly, she can and she will.) He closes his letter with a high-road move, signing off as "A friend you haven't met yet."
Then I wondered if you meant to describe him as someone who has to struggle to be thoughtful about everything he says, as everyone else races from one snarkey sound bite to the next.
Finally, I wondered if you meant to degrade him as someone who is likely to receive bad health care, live in low grade housing with very little income and still manages to see life as a wonderful gift.
Because, Ms. Coulter, that is who we are — and much, much more.
The full letter is well worth reading, if only as a break from the unceasing negativity of the campaign season. Well done, Mr. Stephens. Nice job of taking the kind of positive, open-arms approach that's unthinkable to so many in public life these days.

SILK SCARF CLASS THIS SATURDAY
SILK SCARF CLASS THIS SATURDAY...
That would be this Saturday:
October 27, 2012
9 am to 2 or 3pm
My very good sewing teacher Donna Namdar has said there wil be a wonderful class this Saturday on the creation of silk scarves. It will be held right across the hall from our beautiful and comfortable and large and modern classroom at the Point Loma Branch of the San Diego Continuing Education School.
I love going to these classes because not only are the instructors extremely well qualified and knowledgeable but everyone in the class and the people connected with the class are very welcoming and friendly. In fact, there is a wonderful "no hate" sign in the lobby that always gets my attention. There are people in the classes of all ages and people from everywhere around the world.
The whole thing is just great and I would recommend these classes for anyone.
For this class, Donna, my instructor, said you just walk in and pay 10 dollars. No pre-registration or supplies are required--everything will be in the class that you need.
here is the link to the website:

This is at the West City Campus---on Fordham Street right off Midway upstairs in room 209.
It is the adult school--the continuing education portion of the community colleges in San Diego. The building is beautiful and new and friendly and I love all of the sewing classes.
On the third link there is a map to the class--You may want to call for more information or particulars--I heard about this class in my class and perhaps there are more details of interest to the people who are planning on attending.
Have fun at the class---cl
