This is how San Francisco worked before it spent more money per resident on government than any other city its size. Try to count the number of things that would get you ticketed or even arrested in San Francisco today, in the name of "public safety." I lost count around 100. And yet not a single accident.
In just five minutes, you can save the Phil Berg for Congress, District 8, campaign $20. If you're registered to vote as a Libertarian in San Francisco's 8th Congressional District (i.e. your Congresswoman is Nancy Pelosi), you can download and print Phil's petition in lieu of filing fee, sign the front and complete the circulator information on the back, and mail it to Phil. His filing fee is reduced by over $20 per signature he turns in.
After signing and filling out the circulator information on the back (you MUST serve as your own circulator before mailing the petition back to Phil, or he cannot use your signature), mail it (paper mail only, no email or faxes) to:
Philip Berg 557 Sanchez Aveune San Francisco, CA 94114
Timed to coincide with the start of the 2010 legislative session, the CalWatchdog project (www.calwatchdog.com) is designed to provide investigative coverage of the state’s increasingly dysfunctional government and to provide enterprising news reports that often are overlooked by other media--especially in a time of cutbacks in state Capitol coverage by struggling newspapers. We also provide timely commentary and original political cartoons.
California voters will see a ballot measure in June 2010 seeking approval for a "Top-two Open Primary" system. The measure would make it far more difficult for Californians to vote for any candidates other than incumbents and their best-funded challengers. It would also make it even easier for incumbents to get reelected.
SF Weekly recently ran an article with the subheading "Spend more. Get less. We're the city that knows how." Sounds like something we'd write here on LPSF.org, but it's an honest-to-goodness article printed on lots of dead trees...
"Despite its good intentions, San Francisco is not leading the country in gay marriage. Despite its good intentions, it is not stopping wars. Despite its spending more money per capita on homelessness than any comparable city, its homeless problem is worse than any comparable city's. Despite its spending more money per capita, period, than almost any city in the nation, San Francisco has poorly managed, budget-busting capital projects, overlapping social programs no one is certain are working, and a transportation system where the only thing running ahead of schedule is the size of its deficit."
