Tentative Dates Set for Highway 88 Clean-up
If you drive up and down Highway 88 you have surely seen that the Amador Democrats have adopted a two-mile section of the highway from the top of the hill at the cemetary to the railroad tracks below. About four to six times a year depending on weather and other conditions, local Democrats gather to spend a few hours picking up trash along this stretch of Highway 88 helping to keep Amador County attractive for those travelling this stretch of road.
Dates for the next two highway cleaning opportunities have been set. They are:

Volunteers Needed for State Convention
Come volunteer as we prepare for the 2010 election season
This will prove to be an exciting year as we work to increase our Democratic majorities in the Legislature and Congress, elect a Democratic Governor, return Barbara Boxer to the United States Senate, elect Dr. Ami Bera to Congress, and re-elect Alyson Huber to the Assembly.
www.cadem.org/volunteer2010
The California Democratic Party has always relied on the involvement of grassroots activists and volunteers to make our Democratic Party successful. Without your energy, time and dedication we would not be able to elect Democrats around California and to the White House.
More than 800 volunteers are needed to facilitate a productive and enjoyable convention for the approximately 3,500 delegates, guests and press in attendance. Volunteers are needed in several areas - some assignments will require sitting while others may involve standing or acting as a runner.
There may be opportunities for volunteers to attend General Session and to hear some of our great speakers after their shifts. This will truly be an exciting and memorable convention!
If you are interested in volunteering, please complete the volunteer form at www.cadem.org/volunteer2010 by March 1st, 2010, for best availability.
Please note: In order to volunteer at the State Convention you must sign-up in advance. There will be a mandatory meeting for all volunteers on Thursday, April 15, 2010 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Help Reshape California- Apply to Join the New Citizens Redistricting Commission
Redistricting is the once in a decade opportunity to redraw the State’s legislative districts and shape the future of California. This single act may do more to influence the make-up of the Legislature and its agenda over the next 10 years than all of the elections during that period combined.
A new entity, the Citizens Redistricting Commission, will be in charge of redistricting process in California, and progressives are strongly encouraged to apply to serve on the 14-member committee. The Commission will be selected in 2010 and will do most of its work to redraw State Assembly, Senate and Board of Equalizations districts in 2011. Applications will be accepted until February 12th.

Dan Lungren votes to bring foreign nuclear waste to U.S.
In a recent House vote, Rep. Dan Lungren voted with 110 of his fellow Republicans and a single Democrat against a ban on nuclear waste imports. The final vote was 309-112. The Ledger-Dispatch has the story including this quote from a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesperson.
"With all of his recent talk about national security, Congressman Lungren never mentioned his support for the importation of potentially toxic and dangerous nuclear waste from foreign countries," said Andrew Stone, a committee spokesman. "In fact, with his service on the Homeland Security committee and his law-and-order background, Dan Lungren should know better than to permit dangerous foreign nuclear waste to travel through our communities and be stored in the United States."
Lungren's actions, his support of importing "potentially dangerous" and even deadly nuclear waste, brings into serious question his committment to the people of the United States, and particularly to the Third Congressional District. The sole beneficiary of this action would have been a single disposal site in Utah. Just makes you wonder who Lungren represents.
It is far past time to put Lungren out of office and elect a representative who will truly represent the people of CD-03. In 2010, we will have the opportunity to make the change necessary by electing Dr. Ami Bera to serve us in congress.
