PLEASANTONIANS 4 PEACE is again sponsoring a
candlelight vigil. We will reflect on the human
and monetary costs of the war, honor our veterans who
have sacrificed, and visualize ways of moving beyond
this conflict to a more peaceful world. Please bring a
votive candle in a paper cup so that we do not drip
candle wax on the sidewalk or a flashlight.
Signs welcome. We are planning to continue this
monthly event as long as necessary.

Tri Valley Democratic Club presents
Peter Angelides
of the Prop 13 Reform Task Force who will explain the
advantages to California’s local communities of
changing the current laws for taxing non-residential
property. Peter believes strongly in the proposed
changes and is looking forward to speaking about them.
The group is concerned with the continuing adverse
impact of Proposition 13 on California government.
They drafted a resolution intended to build support
for drafting, qualifying, and passing a ballot
initiative to change California's property tax laws by
removing non-residential commercial property from
Proposition 13's tax shelter. See
TaxPolicyin21stCentury1.pdf. They are asking for a
TVDC endorsement.
Ray
Barglow of Democratic Clubs Of America will present
the
Responsible Plan for Ending the War in Iraq.
Over 50 Democratic Candidates for congress & military
advisers have endorsed the plan. He will also be
asking for a TVDC endorsement. |
