Profile

Hometown:
San Jose
About Me:
I was born in San Francisco and migrated ALL the way to San Jose (isn't that a song?). Married, two kids, love to cook, garden, blog, create networks, am fixated by technology and am hooked on politics.

Oh, and I am a member of the Santa Clara County Democratic Central Committee, 24th AD.
Why I am a Democrat:
I am a Democrat because I care about people. I believe that we all are empowered to help each other, and that we become stronger and a better nation when we work to the good of everyone instead of just the few.

I am a Democrat because I believe in freedom and Democracy, because I value the constitution and most of all because I believe in equality for ALL Americans.

Rep. Pete Stark goes after GOP on SCHIP vote and Iraq

(Cross posted at sccdp.org)

The right wing is all upset about Rep. Pete Stark's remarks the other day, watch for yourself what our local congressman had to say.

The GOP and far right are demanding that Stark apologize for his remarks, because the words are "over the top." Personally I think Rep. Stark nailed the whole issue, and the right hates the fact that Re… Continue

Just found a great op ed onhow out of touch the GOP presidential candidates are, click here to read the whole thing.

Here is a sample:

"By the evidence of all polls, Americans are now looking more to government to provide, at least in health care, some of the security that employers used to offer. A recent Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll even showed that 59 percent of Republicans believe that foreign trade is bad for the U.S. economy, vs. just 32 percent who think it's good.

Somehow, news of this transformation has not reached the Republican candidates, who still rail against government assistance to help Americans pay for college and health care and offer glowing affirmations of free trade. Nor has it reached the Republican Party or the conservative movement more generally. The serious postmortems for President Bush's ultra-Reaganite and uber-Goldwateristic plan to privatize Social Security -- the questioning of the sanity of such a proposal at a time when employer-provided pension plans were dropping like flies -- have yet to be conducted in conservative circles. Indeed, Fred Thompson is still mumbling about cutting Social Security. Ol' Fred may have slept through 2005 -- the year of privatization's protracted stillbirth -- but did the entire party? "
