Tentative 8/29/09 MBD Annual Picnic. 6/1/09 Meeting at Borderline Over 20 members enjoyed enchiladas, etc., and had an opportunity to ask Holland Lowe, Executive Director/Founder, Operation Provider, about her work! Not only do they provide food, but also clothes - even some mortgage assistance, medical referrals to Dr. Monroe, etc. Unfortunately, needs have doubled and more since 9/08, while donations are down. She shared her agony over having to decide whom to help since there are so many more requests than resources. She described the Toy Drive and X-mas party, the food baskets, etc. 20 volunteers and one grant writer are helping. To get on her email list, please contact Holland at 909 337-8585, operationprovider@hotmail.com , or go to www.operationprovider.org.

Mark your calendar for the Operation Provider benefit concert and live auction 8/16 noon at Lake Arrowhead Village! And we welcomed her as the newest MBD member! Carol Robb also spoke. She said Holland’s work ties into democratic values “Democrats care about real people”! She encouraged us to grow, support,and elect political leaders with true compassion. “We need to start electing Democrats for the non-partisan boards as well since they commonly serve as the beginnings of a political career....” (See bottom of email) Supervisors Biane and Ovits are up for re-election in 2010!

E.J. Dionne Jr. | What Next for Obama's Network? http://www.truthout.org/112108S E.J. Dionne Jr., The Washington Post: "While the nation's capital obsesses over Barack Obama's next Cabinet pick, the president-elect's lieutenants are engaged with what may be a more important long-term issue: What will become of Obama's vast grass-roots network?" The price of victory http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/11/9/172736/531/826/658200 An excerpt: "Democrats have a mandate from the American people - they do not have a carte blanche. This mandate isn't an affirmation, it's a command - a command to govern well, to deliver what the Republicans have failed to deliver. America is not a center-right country, and the nation has emphatically declared this. However, we're still engaged in the fight to make it a solidly, unmistakably center-left country. The 2008 election doesn't end that fight, as the passing of Prop 8 suggests. We must continue to pull the country to the left by demonstrating the success of Democratic principles and Democratic governance - and we'll be on a short leash electorally." Read the rest ...   |
