Can big media stop Ron Dellums from becoming mayor of Oakland?
It is a rare moment when a beleaguered city gets an opportunity to elect a statesman. Ron Dellums, a practical visionary, is one of the most respected congresspersons in the world. Remembered for his role in helping to end apartheid in South Africa, for stopping production of the heinous MX missile, he is returning home to Oakland, a city he served for over 30 years. Parishioners are singing an African-American spiritual, “Let Not This Harpist Pass.”...

The Desperate Misinformation From Prop. D's Opponents
San Francisco's leading gay and lesbian newspaper, the Bay Area Reporter, published May 25 two pro-and-con op-ed pieces concerning Proposition D on San Francisco's June 2006 ballot that are instructive. The "con" argument was riddled with misinformation designed to scare voters. With SEIU Local 790's help, Prop. D opponents are falsely using myths, wrongly claiming 300 patients at Laguna Honda Hospital face forced discharge, costing the City $27 million annually, if Prop. D passes...
