We urge you to support our firefighters - Vote YES on B
Return Ballots ASAP!

We want to alert you... there's a Special Election, Measure B, to support our local firefighters in providing emergency, rescue, and wildfire response and prevention services. Ballots were mailed on July 29th, with a August 27 deadline to return ballots.

Measure B will provide revenue directly to our local El Dorado County Fire Protection District to maintain excellent paramedic and fire response. Measure B will cost property owners only $8 per month, a worthy investment to save lives and property in our community.

A YES Vote for Measure B will:
* Restore needed firefighter and emergency responder positions, maintaining emergency rescue, wildfire response and fire prevention services
* Help to keep firefighting lifesaving equipment and facilities up-to-date
* Maintain rapid response times for fire protection and 9-1-1 emergency services by preventing further cuts to first responders.

Tired of gun violence? Take action... get voters committed to vote in 2020

This past week was awful. As the number of shootings and shooting victims piled up, I was overwhelmed with sadness. So much tragedy and so preventable. If it weren't for the corruption of our Constitutional values ("well-regulated militia, anyone?") by NRA money, gerrymandering, and the electoral college fallacy, we'd have gun control legislation in place to reduce this senseless gun violence.

But there is a solution, and it makes me feel powerful. I like to go to a Congressional district where there's a member of Congress in the pocket of the NRA and find forgetful progressive voters and make them promise to vote. It's a strategy with a proven track record for raising voting rates, and I no longer feel so powerless.

This Sunday, join the El Dorado County Democratic Party and the California Away Team in El Dorado County to reactivate these forgetful voters in the district of NRA tool Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA-4). As an added benefit you'll also help unelect all the downballot Republicans who might succeed McClintock when he loses his seat.
