Berkeley Against ELECTION LIES from Chamber of Commerce (save Kriss and Dona...) PHOTOS 
Outrageous election lies funded by Berkeley's Chamber of Commerce were protested Wednesday, November 2, 2006 in front of old City Hall in Berkeley, CA at Noon.
The Chamber has put forth numerous well-funded hit pieces for developer-friendly candidates, in an effort to unseat two of the nation's most progressive city council candidates. The agenda of the Chamber, based on what this reporter has learned, appears to be at the very least: evictions for development; police abuses for cultura...

Republicans in Last-Minute Push to Elect Rob Black In danger of losing control of Congress, Republicans nationwide are warning that if Democrats win, “San Francisco values” will govern the country. But that hasn’t stopped them from getting involved in San Francisco politics – as part of Karl Rove’s infamous “72 Hour Strategy” to get out the Republican vote. The Republican Party has stepped into the District 6 Supervisors’ race, and has sent a mailing to Party members urging the defeat of Chris Daly – while promoting challengers Rob Black and ...

Berkeley Race Reveals Similar Tactics Used Against Daly In San Francisco and Berkeley, progressive incumbents are under siege by heavily-funded campaigns for being “soft on crime.” In San Francisco, Supervisor Chris Daly has been barraged with hit-pieces by the Police Officers Association and challenger Rob Black. In Berkeley, City Councilman Kriss Worthington is on the receiving end of the most expensive campaign in that city’s history. Like Black, Worthington’s challenger (George Beier) has blamed the incumbent for a high crime rate in the Distr...

In a district where only 13,000 residents cast ballot...

Leave No District Behind: S.F. Progressives Should Run for Every Seat In the October 19th edition of Beyond Chron, I explained that Democrats will probably take back Congress this year because, unlike in the past, they have aggressively fielded candidates in almost every district. Initially criticized as foolish and a waste of resources, Howard Dean’s “Fifty State Strategy” has been such a success that, along with the national climate, Republicans now have to defend their seats in places like Idaho. In the final weeks before Election Day, San Francisco progress...
