Democrats Remove Homeless Shelter Reform from SF Ballot

The headline of the August 1, 2011 Street Sheet announced "Mayor Bullies Fair Shelter Off Ballot," and the accompanying article states that Democratic Supervisors Jane Kim, Eric Mar and Ross Mirakarimi somehow let Democratic mayor Ed Lee convince them to take a reform of the shelter system off the ballot. There is no explanation as to what this pressure was.

The way to stop this harassment is to go to the public and complain of the harassment. As the Street Sheet stated, "However now, should Ed Lee decide to run for mayor, he'll have a ballot clear of an uncomfortable, controversial measure on which he'd need to take a partisan stance."

HE WILL HAVE TO DEFEND HIS ANTI-UNION ACTIONS, destroying city workers' pensions, promoting budget cuts while this city has 26 bilionaires and this state has 650,000 millionaire households, while Ed Lee's fellow Democrat in Sacramento, Governor Jerry Brown, refuses to tax the rich. There are apparently 2 anti-union pension cutting measures on the November 2011 ballot, both of which should be defeated, and both were put on the ballot by Democrats.

In fact, anything put on the ballot by Democrat Ed Lee deserves your No vote.

Meanwhile, we have some 15,000 homeless in San Francisco while shelter beds sit empty and thousands of apartments are unoccupied, kept off the market for a tax writeoff. The City should immediately (1) give shelter beds to anyone who asks so that there are no empty shelter beds and (2) take over all empty housing by right of eminent domain and house the homeless in these homes.

The Democratic Party has been sitting at City Hall since the 1960s, and the housing crisis has existed since 1980, when Democrat Carter was president. The contempt for the workingclass on the part of the Democrats and Republicans mandates that you never vote for any Democrat or Republican at any level of office. A Green Party candidate, Terry Baum, plans to run for mayor and will be the only candidate worth voting for. For more on her campaign, see

We do not vote for sheriff, district attorney or city attorney as these are all anti-labor positions by definition.

As to the propositions, there is one anti-busing initiative, in a City where everybody rides the bus, which will make the schools more segregated than ever. This deserves your No vote. Achievement gaps are overcome by eliminating poverty, and clearly as shown above on the housing issue, the Democratic Party machine of San Francisco wants to increase poverty.
