4). ***** SEAL THE DEAL FOR LUMPKIN WEEKEND *****

WHEN: Saturday, November 1st, 10-6
WHEN: Sunday, November 2nd, 12-6

WHERE: Meet at the Lumpkin Campaign office (address below)

FROM: Joan and David Little <[email protected]> 52 CD Caucus (A-F) <[email protected]>

Election is 5 DAYS away!!!

Can you help drop literature this weekend and/or help make phone calls???
Hello 52nd Congressional District Friends!

Our 52nd Congressional District Candidate, Mike Lumpkin, could really use our help over the next 5 days, particularly this weekend.

His campaign needs to make literature drops in as many areas of the 52nd Congressional District as possible. This does not require knocking on doors �?just dropping the lit at Democratic, Decline to State and/or Republican doors. (Mike will need to get Republican votes to win this district given our registration challenge in the 52nd.)

*Word is that one poll has shown Mike 3 points ahead of Dunkin Hunter Jr.!!!*

We need to keep the pressure on �?Dunkin Junior is going negative and will be airing radio ads attacking Obama and Mike. See following from recent e-mail I received from the Lumpkin Campaign:

“Today, on KOGO radio, Junior's new ads aired stating that Mike Lumpkin and Barack Obama are supporters of partial birth abortion and that Hunter and John McCain are going to go to Washington to fight to stop them. Hear and see for yourself what Hunter Junior considers his "number 1 priority." Not the economy. Not National Security. Not the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's marriage!

*Please help anyway you can, whether by making lit drops over the next few days for Mike, making phone calls and/or making a contribution to his campaign. I’ll be doing lit drops for Mike in the Scripps Ranch area this weekend. If you would like to join me in Scripps Ranch, let me know (respond to this e-mail or call me at 858-486-5359) and/or contact the campaign directly. See below:

* As we walk and talk to people, we are getting more and more votes for Mike, especially from Republicans! The good news is, we have so many Republican votes that Junior actually has to campaign just to shore up his base. The bad news is, his volunteers will be out walking this weekend in San Carlos, La Mesa, El Cajon, Spring Valley, Scripps Ranch, and Poway. Are we going to let him get away with that? OF COURSE NOT! Let's show them what we are made of and let's make it snow Mike Lumpkin literature in the 52nd! Together we will win! The alternative is completely unacceptable. So, everyone turns out to walk for Mike this weekend and together we will take back the 52nd! For those who don't want to walk there is always calling because we need to turnout the Democratic vote, so come on down to the office and let's do it! Jessica

GREG BOLIAN <[email protected]> OBAMA SAN DIEGO <<< Get Out the Vote San Diego! Greetings,

Thank you for your dedication and effort. Last year the GOP registration advantage in San Diego County was 75,000. Their lead has dropped to 379 with 15,000 registrations yet to be processed. It is very likely that San Diego County will be a Democratic majority for the first time in 24 years. This has been made possible through your tireless efforts. You have our heartfelt gratitude. Congratulations team!

The registration deadline has passed and we are in the final phase of the election cycle, Get Out the Vote! Volunteers are needed to help national and local campaigns. The change we seek is within grasp, but many of the races are extremely close and we need your help. Please volunteer and or donate to the campaign of your choice at this critical time. These are some of the ways that you can help to reclaim our country.

Yes We Can! Greg, Jack and Linda ~~~ Obama for America

*The Obama Campaign is hosting numerous phone banks throughout the county to Get Out the Vote for Barack in critical swing states. Please bring a cell phone, charger and a laptop if you have one. It is important for you to RSVP for the specific phone bank of your choice to ensure that we have an adequate supply of call lists.

#1). Mayor's Memo Announcing Appointment to Human Relations Commission

Mayor Appoints " Gracia Molina de Pick " to the Human Relations Commission!!!
Human Relations Commission-Gracia Molina de Pick 10-22-08.pdf (1249.1 KB)



#2). SAN DIEGO COUNTY ABOUT TO GO BLUE!!!

Registered Dems are about to overtake the GOP in the traditionally conservative county of San Diego CA.

In the City of San Diego, registered Dems have widened their majority by a margin of 48,554 voters
(didn't see this spelled out in the Union Tribune article) ....

With 352,000 nonpartisans registered, there is probably already a substantial progressive and liberal-thinking majority in San Diego County ...

Mission: Almost Accomplished..... Democrats are about to emerge from an 8-year depression ...




***Registered Democrats, Republicans closing in on even for county

By Craig Gustafson
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
10:47 a.m. October 29, 2008
SAN DIEGO �?Democrats continue to gain ground on Republicans in the county, trailing by 379 registered voters in the latest figures released by the Registrar of Voters Office.

Democrats have increased their ranks at a rate of 2-to-1 over Republicans since December 2007 and almost certainly will take the lead in registration for the Nov. 4 election when final numbers are released, given current trends.
County election officials say there are between 15,000 and 20,000 voters left to input into the system, a slow process that could stretch to the weekend.

The latest numbers released Wednesday show Democrats account for 539,560, or 36.26 percent of registered voters. Republicans have 539,939, or 36.28 percent.

As of Dec. 7, 2007, Democrats had 435,857 voters, or 34.4 percent. Republicans had 495,613, or 39.1 percent.

'Clearly, the gap has been narrowing,' said Registrar of Voters Deborah Seiler. 'We've just seen a consistent trend. It's a narrowing gap between the Democrats and the Republicans, and a fairly steady increase in the number of nonpartisans.'

The difference is the closest since 1984, when Republicans overtook Democrats for the registration lead. But there has been steady four-year decline in the percentage of Republicans and a recent surge in registered Democrats.

Nonpartisan voters have swelled by nearly 66,000 this year to 352,034, or 23.7 percent. In all, there are 1,488,157 registered voters in the county.
