( Connect the name of this band to this entry as a challenge.) The California Association of Political Centrists ( CAPC ) working with The Star and CLU is putting together some great events locally. To see a full press release you normally need to click on continue reading, but to thank Katie Teague, Leslie Cornejo, Joe Howry, and all the other people volunteering to put together these public forums I am posting the full press release on my main page.
Here is the press release from CAPC:

Leslie Cornejo, State Chairman of CAPC believes, "It is important to become informed and engaged as voters so that we have a truly representative government acting on behalf of the people and our priorities. These candidate forums will assist us to do just that. We hope everyone will take this opportunity to become better informed."
Forum proxies will be allowed but they may not be elected officials or candidates seeking other office.

This press release is a little confusing because it doesn't have the date correction on it. But bottom line is that there are TWO forums this week - the one in East County is on Wednesday the 24th and the one in West County is Thursday the 25th.
A display ad should be appearing in the paper today and Wednesday.
Many thanks to the Ventura County Star, the Political Science Department of CLU, the Gold Coast Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and all the CAPC members and candidates that are interested in providing information to the voters so they can make an informed and educated decision.
Katie,
I am going to be at Back to School night, so I won't be there. Get some clips for youtube for all of us!
Thanks for putting on these great events.
OK Brian - no one has guessed - what's the connection to the band?
I found them using google.
They are named "middle of the road".
Fitting, eh?
