Summer Session Legislative Advocacy with ACLU

Shea joined other constituents and me to meet with Assemblymember Lori Wilson’s staff in Suisun with the ACLU’s summer recess legislative advocacy group. We asked Lori Wilson and her staff to support three bills that would mitigate the harm that ICE has caused and to prevent voter suppression in several ways. SB1105, SB1164 and SB1360. Please chime in and tell your state legislators about these bills if you live in California! Here is the picture with us and Lori’s staff.

The next day we met with State Senator Christopher Cabaldon’s staff at his office in Vallejo to ask that the Senator support AB1165, AB2122, and AB1801. We also asked that he OPPOSE AB2664. California citizens, please tell your representatives to do the same!

Here’s Shea being silly with the rabbit statue in Assemblymember Suisun’s office.

Shea Speaks At Vallejo Surveillance Board Meeting

I’m very proud that Shea spoke at the Vallejo Surveillance Board last night. I was unable to attend due to a conflict, but I’ve been following this through the ACLU chapter that I’ve been working with on numerous issues. The entire meeting is, of course, available on the City of Vallejo’s home page.

Shea and others Protesting California Forever Plans

This was also the first time Shea has been in the Vallejo Times-Herald, although I’m not sure this picture from online made it into the actual front page article.

Saved by a Sweaty Church Whore

One of the ways I (hopefully) keep my sanity with the politics and violence in the news, especially this week, is with the morning radio show I listen to 5 days a week, called the Stephanie Miller Show. I can’t believe there aren’t more Steph-heads, but six million isn’t anything to complain about! I’ve been listening for way over a decade. One of my favorite people who calls in is Lacrisha, “the sweaty church whore” from Milwaukee, because her well-planned quips go right up to the line without getting any FCC license violations for terrestrial radio. Lacrisha is pictured here with her official whore T-shirt. This morning was somber, as we got more details about what happened in Minneapolis, but Lacrisha saved the day. She was definitely pissed at the situation, as any sane person would be, but then she asked WHERE are all the moral Republicans? “Quiet as a church mouse pissing on cotton,” she said. Think about that!
