The results of this special election are reason enough why the people need strong unions. They have been ORGANIZING as soon as the governor started trying to rob workers and students blind.

My thanks go out to the many union organizers, which include but aren't limited to: nurses, teachers, public workers, school employees, firefighters and more. There actions demonstrate that we ALL are a part of politics -- some people are just better at it than others.

I hope this victory will spur people to action to get more involved. Yeah, I know a lot of us are busy, but what is the alternative? Reruns of Sex in the City?

Let's start making some proactive changes in this state rather than reactive ones. A great place to start is the health care for all coalition. You can usually find them at the SC Farmer's Market. They have been working like crazy to get guaranteed health care for all Californians. It IS possible. We just have to demand it.
