Interesting story about local Democrats looking to make in roads with religious voters.

I think this county is headed for a complete Democratic take over. Democrats already control the Board of Supervisors 3-2 ( with one liberal R) and I believe they have more mayors too ( any easy way to fact check this?). The state senate next year for East County might even be in play. Add to that an aggressive drive to undermine the GOP base and if we see another perfect storm on the national scale the Democrats locally will make strong gains if they make long term plans now.

Thoughts?

( Local Assemblywoman Audra Strickland with her Father)

It is with a sad heart that I report that Audra Strickland's father has had a massive stroke. The family sent in a picture and a prayer request.

Audra, I know your father is proud to have a daughter in the state assembly.

My suggestion is for readers to leave a kind thought combined with a quote or words that bring comfort to them in times of need.

I am not sure if the story is political but I was impressed. Sonrise Fellowship was able to convince the city and park district to delay bulldozing a homeless camp with just a few phone calls. Citizen power when backed up by moral force can be just what our society needs. Of course, we also need long term solutions and this local church has also been working with homeless people on a long term basis.

Happy Thanksgiving Sonrise members!
