Favorite Quote:

"All experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."
The Declaration of Independence (1776)

About Me:

A registered Green for several years before 2004, I have been inspired by Howard Dean to be a volunteer organizer for the Democratic Party in San Diego County, in addition to remaining active in DFA. This is the purpose to which I have devoted my life since. As Political Action Director for North County Democratic Unity, I have led the launch of the "Grassroots Organizing (GO) Team" to organize Democratic Party Precinct Leaders in our County's 3,800 precincts over the next several years. Last year, I was one of SD4D's organizers for the Third Annual DemocracyFest, a national grassroots progressive conference at SDSU last summer. It's an exciting time to be a Democrat in San Diego County!
