A Message From Forrest Hill, Green Party Candidate for Secretary of State of California 
Voter turnout is among the lowest in the western world.
Redistricting ensures very few incumbents are at risk in one-party districts.
New paperless voting machines are raising questions about whether we can trust that our votes are accurately counted.
Money dominates expensive campaigns, mainly waged on television in sound bite format.

Chronicle Attack Machine Targets Ron Dellums During San Francisco’s 2003 Mayor’s race, the San Francisco Chronicle enlisted columnists, reporters and editorial page writers in a one-sided effort to elect Gavin Newsom over Matt Gonzalez. Now the Chronicle is harnessing its power toward bashing progressive icon Ron Dellums and electing Ignacio De La Fuente as Oakland’s Mayor. Fortunately, the Chronicle’s circulation is down over 30% since 2003 and the paper does not have many Oakland readers. But the paper’s irresponsible coverage shows w...

Between the hit pieces, particularly the joint Democrat-Republican attack on Chris Daly on Prop C, and the slow pace of our election (fraud?) department in San Francisco, this sleeper governor's primary is turning out to be nasty....

Media Uses Republican Frame in Cheering State Budget Anyone reading daily newspapers last week would think California has become the best of all possible worlds. A $7.5 billion jump in state revenues has led the Governor to propose increased spending on schools, prisons, health care, and infrastructure improvements, leading the media and Republicans to question any need to generate more money by raising taxes on millionaires or closing corporate loopholes. Yet amidst what the San Francisco Chronicle describes as a “crowd pleasing” budget, Calif...
