In some states, voters will be able to cast their vote to speak for the 99 percent and vote for Stewart Alexander for President and Alex Mendoza for Vice President. These voters will be on the frontline to revolt against a political system that is unfair and unjust; their votes will be a revolt against unfair ballot access laws that has rigged the entire political process to limit voter choice to the candidates of the two corporate parties....

Quickly morphing from a small neighborhood watch group to a spin-off of Take Back Santa Cruz, Take Back Watsonville has announced it will hold its first major public meeting on October 9, amidst racially charged and pro "American" rhetoric from its founder, Paul Gutierrez. After being featured as a crime victim in an article in the Watsonville Patch, Gutierrez was then made a blogger for the website where he has had the opportunity to establish and promote Take Back Watsonville and raise fund...

Here's a brief suggestion of afternoon agenda matters that may concern homeless advocates, those concerned with police abuses, and renters vainly seeking for some sort of relief as the economic noose grows tighter. I hope to be supplementing this barebones list with some specific commentary later today.

In response to the Good Times (on line only) story giving its own rather wretched coverage of the Friday tent vigil/march through Santa Cruz, I had a few thoughts. There is also a City Council meeting coming up Tuesday September 11th with a few items on it for those who have the stomach to attend.
