Photos from the October 24th Curbside Rally in Irvine

The rally was a great success with over 40 people attending. We covered all four corners and marched in the pedestrian crossings through most green lights. A highly effective rally with many many horn honks of approval from passing motorists. See the photo story below.

"Fault Lines" segment on Prop 19

The latest segment of Al Jazeera English's show "Fault Lines" deals with Prop 19.  A portion of the segment was filmed at the Prop 19 debate that was held on 9/11 at Irvine United Congregational Church.  Here's the link for the video.

Update on materials

In addition to having the canvassing walk lists at the Democrats of Greater Irvine HQ,  I have spoken with the office staff there and we will be allowed to use their facility as the central location for our lawn signs, campaign signs,  t-shirts, bumper stickers and buttons.  We already have the campaign signs there and should be getting the rest of the stuff later this week. 

If you have time during the week to canvass a neighborhood or the UCI campus,  please drop by their office and pick up a walk list.  With less than 30 days until the election, we need everyone who signed up to volunteer to step up our efforts and keep our positive momentum alive.

Great Canvassing News!

The Democrats of Greater Irvine Headquarters will now be the main site for Yes on 19 canvasses in Orange County. They are open Monday through Friday from 10am-9pm, Saturday from 10am-6pm, and Sunday from 11am-6pm.  From now on, anybody who would like to canvass can show up at the Headquarters during those hours to pick up a Prop 19 walk list to canvass right then or whenever it is convenient. It's important to return the finished walk lists to the Headquarters after canvassing so they can be entered. Right now the Headquarters can print up walk lists for the Irvine area, but I will soon be making lists for other parts of Orange County. I will be dropping them at the Headquarters in Irvine where they can be picked up for those who want to canvass those areas.
