Hi John, Happy New Year.
I wanted to let you know that I am an official candidate for the open State Senate seat for District 28 and I would love an endorsement from Changelinks. If possible to run something for next month - the election is on Feb. 15 and we must rally the progressive base. And please forward the below announcement far and wide. Thanks and all the very best, Mark Lipman ATTENTION PROGRESSIVES: SPREAD THE WORD Announcing the official candidacy for Mark Lipman for the open State Senate seat - District 28 - Open Primary to be held on Feb. 15, 2011. In the first open primary race under California's new election laws - all candidates will now run on the same ticket. The top two voter getters adavance to the General Election. This is a real chance for Progressives to win a much needed victory and show the establishment that we will not back down - that true power rests with the people.

Candidate Statement: Mark Lipman Poet PPublisher Community Organizer Unlike many candidates, I am not, nor do I care to be, a professional politician. Iâm an average person who is smart enough to know that the government-as-usual has mismanaged our budget and is leading us in completely the wrong direction. We fund police and prisons and wars abroad, before things like education, housing, health care and job creation here at home. Simply by reversing our priorities, by holding the banks accountable for the reckless destruction of our economy by things like stopping foreclosures; by providing the nneeded social services and properly funding our schools investing in our childrenâs futures; by investing in needed jobs - we can both reduce crime and taxes at the same time. I am not partisan. I belong to no party. I simply represent the average person who has to work and struggle just to scrape by in this world, who simply wants to help create a better, safer, more just world for us all to live in. Once we realize that weâre all in the struggle of life together; that ensuring the necessities of society is the governmentâs primary responsibility that we must fund our communities for the benefit of us us all, then we will be heading in the right direction. That is whatâs in my heart and if you vote for me, that is what will shape the decisions I make while serving you. marklipman.blogspot.com A diferencia de muchos candidatos, no soy, ni me interesa ser un polÃtico profesional. Soy una persona promedio, lo suficientemente inteligente como para darme cuenta que el gobierno actual, administra mal nuestro presupuesto y nos lleva en la dirección equivocada. Financiamos policÃa, prisiones y guerras en el extranjero, antes de cosas como educación, vivienda, servicios de salud y la creación de trabajos aquà en casa. Simplemente cambiando nuestras prioridades, haciendo responsables a los bancos por la irresponsable destrucción de nuestra economÃa deteniendo la pérrdida de casas por juicios hipotecarios; mediante el suministro de servicios sociales básicos y la correcta financiación de nuestras escuelas - invirtiendo por el futuro de nuestros hijos; invirtiendo en puestos de trabajo - podemos al mismo tiempo, reducir la delincuencia y los impuestos. No soy un seguidor. No pertenezco a ningún partido. Sencillamente represento a la persona promedio que debe trabajar y luchar por el sustento básico y simplemente quiero ayudar a crear un mundo mejor, más seguro, más justo en el que todos podamos vivir. En el momento en que nos demos cuenta que estamos juntos en la misma lucha por la vida; y que la garantÃa de las necesidades de la sociedad es la responsabilidad primordial del gobierno quue debemos financiar nuestras comunidades - en beneficio de todos, entonces estaremos yendo en la dirección correcta. Esta es la sincera convicción en mi corazón y si votas por mÃ, esto es lo que dará forma a las decisiones que tomaré mientras los esté sirviendo. This is for all of us!
