April 18, 2024 at 11:40 pm on 2 New Projects Proposed for West Point Loma Boulevard in Ocean BeachWe should not be incentivizing any home ownership beyond your primary residence.

April 18, 2024 at 5:31 pm on Proposed 20 Units on Point Loma Ave Will Only Have 3 ‘Affordable’, Only 9 Parking SpacesI think the 9 parking spaces is history; it is 3.5 parking spaces, or maybe 4 or maybe 3.

Senator Sanders spoke passionately on this issue. I was thrilled to watch him yesterday on C-Span’s coverage of the Senate.
Patty- you beat me to the punch on my “heroes of the week” post. I listened to a great deal of his remarks. And I sent him my thanks for being a thoughtful, extraordinary American. http://sanders.senate.gov/contact/
Here’s my other hero of the week- a fifteen year old kid named Rodney from England on the topic of social justice. Wow! http://www.boingboing.net/2010/12/10/british-schoolboys-a.html
Thanks for posting the link to Senator Sanders’ contact page. I sent him my own thank you also.
tremendous waste of time……..pure filibuster……if he can’t get his point across in 10 minutes, then he doesn’t deserve to be anyone’s representative…..
^tremendous waste of comment.
If your political point of view takes only 3 minutes to get across, I’m not certain I want you representing anything other than my order at the drive thru window.
There’s a Rule in the Senate that all they have to do is Say they will filibuster. It’s a “virtual filibuster” that doesn’t get attention from the citizenry.
Bernie Sanders gets his point across in one sentence. His filibuster got attention.
I hate it that Cox decided to take C-SPAN2 off ch. 18 so basic cable subscribers can’t see the workings of our Senate. I hate it that Air America didn’t get the monetary support they needed, too.
Anyone who can stream Bernie Sanders on the Thom Hartman show on Fridays, might do so. I stream KPTK Seattle’s website: http://www.am1090seattle.com 9:00 am.
