DESCRIPTION:ELECTION BLUES\nAs City Council Candidate chatter begins in August, Freedom 
 Sleepers invite the Council candidates to join them on the sidewalk and 
 publicly speak out against the anti-homeless 11 PM - 8:30 AM.  \n\nTo check 
 in on the latest contenders for 4 City Council seats in November, go to 
 http://www.cityofsantacruz.com/departments/city-clerk/elections-2382 and 
 then scroll down to List of Prospective 2016 Candidates.  \n\nCURRENT 
 SUSPECTS\nCurrent declared candidates include J.M. Brown, Steven Pleich, 
 Nathanael A. Kennedy, Drew "Dru" S. Glover,  Martine Watkins, Mayor Cynthia 
 Mathews,  Steve Schnaar, James (Jim) P. Davis, Robert Singleton, and Sandra 
 (Sandy) L. Brown.  You can find links to their websites (those who have 
 them) there.  None of the candidates is clearly highlighting human rights 
 restoration for the poor.  Only Steve Pleich has actually spent nights with 
 the Freedom Sleepers.\n\nAs with the national elections, the local 
 elections are taking place within a corrupt money-heavy staff-powerful 
 environment.  Organizing around issues rather than candidates may be a much 
 better idea.\n\nMORE OF THE SAME AS THE SIDEWALK STRUGGLE CONTINUES\nAlso 
 ripe for removal--the laws that shut down parks at night and send out 
 Rangers with ticket books and stay-away orders to harass the unhoused who 
 seek refuge there.  \n\nAs social services shut down all around Santa Cruz 
 and the City welcomes tourist,  Freedom Sleepers offer a sidewalk sanctuary 
 and protest focus on Tuesday nights.   You may be illegal, but at least 
 you're illegal in company.\n\nFINAL RV APPEAL COMING UP\nWith RV removal on 
 the City Homeless-Removal Squad's Agenda, community members are invited to 
 remember that The Coastal Commission will hear an appeal of the city-wide 
 nighttime parking ban, on Wednesday, August 10 at 9 AM at the Hilton Santa 
 Cruz/Scotts Valley at 6001 La Madrona Drive.\n \nFor more from RV activists 
 themselves, check out https://www.facebook.com/groups/rvparkingrights/ 
 \n\nSPEAK OUT AND READ UP! \nTo speak about these issued on Free Radio 
 Santa Cruz, call in Sunday 9:30 AM to 2 PM and Tuesdays 6-8 PM at 
 831-427-3772.\n\nFor updates and history on a variety of homeless issues, 
 go to www.huffsantacruz.org .\n\nTo follow current and recent Freedom 
 Sleeper activity, compliments of Steve Pleich, go to

 attached flier are by Robert Norse--who is solely responsible for its
