A new group of educators has been put together and will be organizing events for Hannah-Beth Jackson in East County. Their next event is a fundraiser. Click on continue reading for details.
The list includes 3 school board members from Simi Valley and past county board of education candidate / education activist Donna Prenta from Simi Valley. Donna, the press release mentions that Hannah-Beth Jackson has the support of many education board members throughout the county. Is there a place where we could view the names? Have you been calling on Hannah-Beth Jackson's behalf to help the campaign?
Getting educators together to support a candidate isn't anything new. But what about the idea of getting together a group of students to support a candidate? That would be impressive locally because of the lack of political participation and organization of the parties.

Simi Educators Rally for Hannah-Beth Jackson
Garden Party to Honor State Senate Candidate
Simi Valley education leaders are throwing their support behind State Senate candidate Hannah-Beth Jackson at a garden party on Aug. 10 at 3 p.m. at the home of Donna Prenta.
Prenta, who is on the Special Education Advisory Committee for the Simi Valley Unified School District, will be joined in hosting the party by Simi Valley Unified School District board members Deborah Sandland, Jeanne Davis and Rob Collins.
"As leaders in education in the Simi Valley area we are deeply concerned about the future of our local schools," Prenta said. "The proposed California state budget threatens to cut an already underfunded school system even further -- we already provide less education funding per pupil then all other states except four. We simply cannot afford to balance the state budget on the backs of our children."
Jackson has the overwhelming support of most of the teachers, school board members and school support staff in the 19th Senate District. "Hannah-Beth Jackson will fight for our schools and our children," Prenta said. "She would never prioritize oil company profits or tax breaks for yacht owners over school funding."
Jackson served as a member of the State Assembly from 1998 to 2004. She fought to protect funding for local schools, expand access to affordable health care, stop HMO abuses and to crack down on sexual assault and domestic violence. She was named "Legislator of the Year" by the Consumer Federation of California because of her work to prevent banks from selling their customers' private financial information.
Before her election to the Assembly she prosecuted violent criminals as a Deputy District attorney.
She's helped protect our families from perchlorate runoff from the Rocketdyne site in Santa Susanna, and has spoken out about the Waste Management Dump expansion proposal that threatens our quality of life.
"Jackson will get results for us in Simi Valley, and is the kind of representative we deserve," Prenta said.

Brian,
I just looked on her website and there's a list of education endorsements up. I know of more names that haven't been posted yet.
The education community is really rallying behind her.
I prefer that my educators and trustees solicit tobacco money like Dean Kunicki. Is there a Tobacco People for Strickland group?
Unfortunately, Jackson may as well go outside and have a smoke because as bad as Strickland is, she is doomed. She has put together no campaign whatsoever in the east county other then meeting up with a few local Democratic clubs and grabbing a few endorsements from Dem. School Board members.
The rest of the voters here HAVE NO IDEA WHO SHE IS! This is Reagan Country - if she wants to compete here, she should at least introduce herself to the voter who ISN'T a shoe-in for a Democratic vote.
I don't get it... this is a candidate with no fire to win. Why bother running if you are going to put together a shoddy campaign like this?

It isn't Reagan Country anymore. It is a blue county and a closely contested race.
I believe she has opened two or three offices in Ventura County and is at all the major events. She has a lot of Rep & Dem endosements on her website. Strickland doesn't even have any endorsements on his page, his campaign guy, Angeles, is beating people up, his minion, Osborn, is making threatening phone calls, he created a phony alternate energy company and he is taking tobacco money.
Now that's a shoddy campaign.
We are honored to be able to support Hannah-Beth Jackson's campaign to become our next Senator.
I am pleased that we have volunteers and supporters from the Republican, Democratic, Independent and Decline to State voters. They come from diverse backgrounds; not only educators but also business owners, executives from large manufacturing and technology corporations, financial institutions and local non-profit organizations.
People want to have a representative that will reach across the aisle and work towards progress and resolution.
Our current system is broken; which has been made painfully apparent by the Governor's desperate attempts to make up for the legislature's failure to come up with a budget. Their failure to reach across the aisle has resulted in his proposal to layoff 10,000 employees and cut the salary of 200,000 below the CA minimum wage. People are suffering because of the partisan gridlock in Sacramento.
Hannah-Beth's highest priority will always be our children's future and their health, safety and quality of education. Our future depends on it!
Republicans look out on the horizon and think they see a fog bank. It's not a fog bank it's a giant blue tidal wave of voters. Voters that want responsible government. This wave shall wash your cigarette butt republican candidates from the 19 district.
I look out on the horizon and see a tidal wave of red ink as the democrats continue to push their tax and spend policies.
JimmyM,
Are you contrasting that to Republicans Spend and Spend policy.
If you are upset about the increase in nondefense spending increasing faster than it did under Bill Clinton you should demand answers about why the Republicans in the House deserve to be reelected.
Locally I would suggest asking Gallegly why he kept voting for the House Republican leadership team.
I have to agree with Donna Prenta - there is an extraordinary amount of partisan gridlock in Sacramento and people are suffering. The question is which candidate can get more done for the residents of the 19th District.
I hope Timm does an article on the type of legislation authored as well as passed during the two assembly terms.
By the way JimmyM we are a blue county and I don't really see a tidal wave of either color - maybe purple if anything now that Ms. Bowen has clarified the registration form.
Keep spreading the TS propaganda about HBJ not campaigning, you have no idea what has been done and is scheduled to come.
Intelligent, thinking people know who the superior, ethical candidate is. HBJ will retain her dignity after her campaign, how does TS sleep at night.
BTW, how is Audra's campaign coming along?
How does he sleep at night? He reads this blog.

In answer to Katie's question,
Strickland had a handful of bills passed of not much consequence, including several for his buddies in the horse racing industry. One of those was vetoed by Davis for excessive expansion of the gambling industry.
HBJ authored more than 60 bills which were passed and signed into legislation on a myriad of topics of concern to her constituents.
Keeping track of all the nanny bills is hard work. Jackson to the citizens of CA, "who is your momma?" The government is.
Don't forget Tony's license plate bill or the parking in the handicapped area for pregnant women. Overriding concerns for Ventura County.
Donna Prenta said it best. She is a lady with a lot of class as is Hannah-Beth Jackson. Strickland, to win, will have to sell himself to the uninformed voters. Those in the know will vote for Hannah-Beth, except for those few who either fall for the Strickland lies or think they will benefit financially from Stricklands machine.
Praise the Lord that we have Donna Prentas in the community!
I used to believe that crap about the Repubs being the party of Fiscal Responsibility also, JimmyM. The last 30 years have proven that to be the biggest lie since "Marlboros are the healthy choice!"
I'm betting Bubba and Ellen are one in the same.
Wrong again. I have no need to hide behind multiple screen names. Just because your liberal friends engage in this type of behavior doesn't mean that others stoop to their level.
But don't take my word, just ask brian if I am Not Ellen.
I don't remember Bubba posting under other names. Agree or disagree with Bubba they aren't the only person to hold their views.
JimmyM,
Study this chart:

I know republicans like you don't like charts, facts, and eye witnesses but that's what the rest of us are thinking about when you comment.
Cockroach or roach, flat-bodied, oval insects forming the order Blattodea. Cockroaches have long antennae, long legs adapted to running, and a flat extension of the upper body wall that conceals the head. For the Simi Valley species, see BubbaKidd.
CAP-951, Thank you for the kind words.
Sad to think that other people are as sorry sacks of crap as Bubba is. Oh well.
Bubba's Daddy cracks me up. He only posts when he is in the mood to throw out some random, inane insults either Bubba's or my way.
The guy's obviously got no game. He doesn't know how to debate the issues. The only thing he knows how to do is engage in second grade name-calling and immature, older-than-the-hills, little mind games.
Go back to the rock you crawled out from under, dude. You're so irrelevant it isn't even funny.

CAP-951 and Bubba's Daddy (sound like the same person), your little cockroach analogy is just another version of the gopher crap you were spewing previously until everyone got fed up with it and Brian asked you to knock it off and speak to the issues.
Personally, I think that may be asking a little much of you though. It's very difficult for people with below room temperature IQ's to engage in meaningful discussion.
Keep it up with your Beevis & Butthead stuff, it fits the profile so perfectly...
Don't worry about it Mongo, their cheap little name-calling antics don't bother me in the least. If the best they can do is gopher/cockroach alerts then they are of no concern. Besides, when the two of them put their heads together they just make an ass out of themselves.

Calm down Bubba. Do you really think it helps for you to post the same thing four times over 40 minutes? Is extermination that frightening?

Gibson, listening to you rant is no more stimulating than listening to cockroach alerts.
Mongo Gibson,
Why don't you give up on the blogging, hook up with your buddy, Chris Wangsaporn, and kiss up to Strickland for a living?
