Face to face with the shameless Mayor of San Francisco The Mayor of San Francisco has no compassion when it comes to those folks that need help most.
Just talk to the homeless and they will tell you that they are worse off today then they ever were. The Mayor is going out of this way to remove thousands of people in other areas like the Bayview Hunters Point to make room for filthy rich folks. The Mayor thinks he can fool all the people all the time. Spin and Media will take the Mayor so far and then dump him in a cesspool of deceit and oblivion...

FSRN: Lettuce Recall Prompts Calls For More Oversight of California Produce Industry (audio/mpeg 4.0MB) Last month's outbreak of E-Coli contaminated spinach, which killed three, and sickened 199 others in the US, has many consumers on edge about food born pathogens. It was the ninth deadly E. coli outbreak from leafy greens that originated in California's Salinas Valley over the last decade. Another e.coli scare occurred this week when Salinas-based Nunes Co. recalled some 8,500 cartons of its Foxy brand 'Green Leaf Lettuce' from seven states. FSRN's Vinny Lombardo reports on the problems with ...

October 16, 2006 at 12 noon on the steps of City Hall Over 33,000 signatures were collected from constituents all over the City and County of San Francisco and all of them very certified by the SF Department of the Elections.

Now the people will speak once again and this time - City Hall will have to listen. We demand that the voice of the ...

San Francisco's "Mutually Redeveloped Strategy" To Take Minority-Owned Co-ops Daniel Landry stood in Gene Suttle Plaza near sidewalk engravings of the names "Rev. Hannibal Williams" and "Mary Helen Rogers," who fought against Redevelopment Western Addition "Black Removal." I followed his wistful gaze to the top of the Fillmore Auditorium where someone in the post-earthquake 1920 Fillmore heyday had perched on a scaffold painting "Majestic Theater" in white on the now-faded bricks. "I would walk home from Raphael Weill Elementary School, see that sign, and wonder about ...

In a few weeks Gavin Newsom will see folks come out in thousands and take him to task. Enough is enough....
