Will the “Dueling Ballot Measure” Strategy Work?
Thursday, March 13, 2008 : In June, voters will decide on two sets of dueling ballot measures that each involve housing. At the state level, Proposition 98 would abolish rent control – while Proposition 99 would reform eminent domain. Locally, Proposition G would give Bayview-Hunters Point to the Lennar Corporation – while Proposition F would require a minimum of affordable housing development in that neighborhood....

SF Central County Democratic Party votes for Proposition G and Lennar the Rogue Company.
One more reason we have to rid the parasites on the Central County Democratic Party. These jerks heard the Arguments but what is more know the history of Lenanr. But, one telephone call from Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, the Pacific Heights Mafia executors - and the pansy, spineless, sitting members - uneducated on issues - went by the given and chosen SLATE. These jerks cannot even think for themselves - less for the community that is San Francisco. FAKE politics has invaded the SF Centra...

US food prices increase sharply
Wednesday, March 12, 2008 :Over the past nine months, global food prices have soared 40 percent, while food reserves are at 30-year lows. The rising cost of food is becoming a major source of global social instability and economic hardship.

Lennar Initiative G versus the Fifty Pecent Affordable Initiate F - before the Republicans
Lennar Corporation's Initiative G was represented by Kofi Bonner, Johnnie Carter, Denise LaPointe, and Carmen Policy. I represented Proposition F - which demands Fifty Percent Affordable Housing. We went before the SF Republican Party for their endorsement - and I hope we find out soon - who they have endorsed. It was a nice exercise - to find out how, once again - how ill prepared Lennar is and how bad they perform in their presentation. Besides, the non-facts and even a warning from the SF ...
