Terminator's Budget Cuts Will Hurt The California Budget Project (www.cbp.org) has provided a breakdown of how the Governor's budget will affect us here in Del Norte County. The Governor has proposed substantial reductions to virtually all state-supported services to close the state’s budget gap. The Legislature will consider these proposed reductions and other options during upcoming budget hearings. Who in Del Norte County would be affected by the Governor’s proposals? • 3,630 students served by Del Norte County’s public schools. Cuts to five of the largest funding allocations for public schools in the county would equal $632 per student. • 300 low-income children dropped from the CalWORKs Program. • 2,130 low-income seniors and persons with disabilities who would lose the state cost-ofliving adjustment for Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment cash assistance grants. • 320 low-income seniors and persons with disabilities who would receive fewer hours of services through the In-Home Supportive Services Program. • 20 fewer children enrolled in child care and preschool due to funding cuts to child development programs. • 110 low-income children in 2008-09 – and a total of 210 children by 2009-10 – who would lose Medi-Cal coverage due to increased paperwork requirements. • 7,700 low-income Medi-Cal recipients who may have reduced access to health care services because of payment cuts to health care providers. • 530 children enrolled in the Healthy Families Program, which provides low-cost health coverage for children in low-income working families. The Governor proposes to increase family premium contributions and copayments and reduce dental services. • Visitors to Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, which the Governor proposes to close. Democrats Welcome Tall-Masted Ships ![]() The Lady Washington at berth The Del Norte Democratic Party was very busy with a booth at the recent Tall-Masted Ships Celebration in the Crescent City harbor. Campaign items were distributed and voters were registered during the festival which featured the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain which arrived late due to repairs. Thanks to all the volunteers who who worked at the festival! ![]() Volunteer Keyt Fischer registering voter A Message From Patty Berg
California Democrats Set New Voter Registration Records “The Democratic voter registration train in California continues to accelerate, while the Republican train has jumped off the tracks,” Senator Art Torres (Ret.), Chairman of the California Democratic Party, said today regarding recently reported voter registration numbers. According to the California Secretary of State’s latest report of voter registration, between January 22, 2008 and April 4, 2008 California Democrats added 170,918 voters to the rolls, Decline to State voters increased by 26,532, and Republicans lost 8,759 registrants. “183,189 voters registered during those 73 days, and 93.3% of them are Democrats. This is a number not seen since the days of Watergate in the mid-1970s,” said Torres. There are now 6,920,324 Democrats registered to vote in California, 43.5% of the total number of registered voters. 5,220,666 voters are registered Republicans, 32.8% of the total. Thus Democrats outnumber Republicans in California by 1,699,658 voters. As of April 4, 2008 Democrats have 469,700 voters more than they had at the same time in 2004, while Republicans are 109,870 below their 2004 numbers. In November of 2004, Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 1,374,907. Reflecting on these numbers, Torres stated “John Kerry went on to win California in November 2004 by a margin by 1,235,659 votes.” “I credit our local Democratic organizations all over California for many of these registrations and the political climate where the vast majority of Californians do not want a Bush third term with John McCain.” # # # For details on voter registration go to the Secretary of State website (www.sos.ca.gov). The California Democratic Party allowed Decline to States (known as “Independents”) to vote in its presidential primary (February 5th) and hundreds of thousands did -- 5.12 million Democratic ballots were cast. Volunteers Welcomed! A Grand Crowd at a Grand Opening ![]() The Democratic Party has made a statement of commitment to Del Norte County with the opening of our office in downtown Crescent City. This is made possible by a commitment of individual Democrats who are volunteering their time as a personal contribution to the Democatic Party in Del Norte County. The most valuable "contributors" to the Democratic Party are the volunteers. We may not have the money the other party does but our volunteers more than make up for that. Ours is the Party of the People which means that each of us can and do make a difference. A great way to meet fellow Democrats and just get out in our beautiful town is to volunteer a couple of hours. This can be done at home, at our office or in the community. We need help registering voters at special events like the Tall-Masted Ships Celebration and we need help staffing our office. We need help during the elections getting out the vote. In short, we need your help. For the sake of Democratic Party and for the sake of Del Norte County, please contact us by e-mail or phone us at 707-487-5120. You will meet some great people. Together we ARE making a difference! Give Real Support to Our Troops Whether you are for the war or against it, it is our duty to support our troops, who are willing to sacrifice their lives to defend our liberties, with more than just lip service and monuments. The soldiers face real challenges when they return home and we are obligated to provide them and their families with real help they need in returning to civilian life. To this end, we ask that you help us in urging John McCain to join us in supporting the GI Bill for the 21st Century. It is a bipartisan effort to give REAL support to our troops. please sign the GI Bill petition, Condi Must Go! AMERICA. For most, that word means, freedom, tolerance and respect for human rights. Lately, however, our reputation around the world has been tarnished by actions taken by the Bush administration. One example is the use of torture while interrogating prisoners taken in war or just suspected of terrorist activities. We are better than that and should demand that our leaders adhere to the principles upon which our nation was founded. Our Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, has misled the American public and has been a key player in the use of torture. Please take a moment and view the video http://bravenewfilms.org/watch/21358082/35714?utm_source=rgemail , provided by ABC News and Brave New Films, and then sign the petition, calling for her immediate resignation or dismissal. State Democratic Convention ![]() For three days, March 28-30, the pulse of the Democratic Party was loud and clear in San Jose, California. The California State Democratic Convention brought together Democrats from Crescent City to Dan Diego. In this very important presidential election year, 2118 delegates met to set the official California Democratic Party Platform which can be viewed at www.cadem.org/2008Platform. Delegates also endorsed Democratic candidates for local, state and federal election and set agendas and strategies in caucuses concerned with the issues we face today.Delegates were treated to headlining appearances by Former President Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Phil Donohue as well as rubbing elbows with the likes of Willie Brown, Jerry Brown, Debra Bowen, Gavin Newsome and many other notable Democrats who serve our party well. Del Norte County was well represented at the convention. The Chairperson of the Del Norte County Democratic Central Committee, Debra Broner, led our delegation consisting of Debra, Keyt Fischer, Don Johnson and Kurt Gripenstraw. Debra also was presented with an award for Volunteer of the Year in Region 2 in front of the entire assembly. The Region consists of the northern California coast from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Oregon border. This was the third time Debra has received this recognition and each time was in a different Region! Debra’s hard work and commitment to the Democratic Party is recognized around the state. We are lucky to have her! As at all conventions, much excitement filled the air over candidates and issues. Some of the debates were heated but most delegates stayed until the last gavel and, in the end, left the convention center united and eager to work for victories in June and again in November.Other highlights and video from the convention can be found at http://www.cadem.org/site/c.jrLZK2PyHmF/b.3904469/.

About the Del Norte Democratic Party
Del Norte County Democratic Party is an active organization focused on party building and educating voters about the issues important to Democrats. Del Norte County is the last county on the coast of Northern California; home of Yurok, Resighini, Elk Valley, and Tolowa Tribes. We are privileged to live in a beautiful environment where the redwoods meet the ocean and blessed with rivers that we actively protect. The Democratic Party currently consists of a diverse group of individuals that represent most aspects of our community. Our membership includes a county supervisor, a former elected supervisor, a former county assessor, a county engineer (who was elected as the acting president of the new CAEA -SEIU Labor Union), a county probation officer, the chair of the Crescent City planning commission as well as attorneys, and a Smithsonian recipient of the "America's Young Innovators in the Arts and Sciences”. We encourage young people to join our committee as student associates. We are proud to call ourselves Democrats and make ourselves visible at every opportunity. We lead by example and continue to work to elect Democrats with vision to create a better world.
