San Diegans again rallied yesterday, Tuesday March 15th, in support of the working folks in Wisconsin, and other people under attack in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio by their Republican governors with their extremist agendas.

Called by the local MoveOn.org group as part of a national call to action, the rally in front of the County Admin Building was attended by over 200 community and labor activists.

We do not have all the details yet, but yesterday, March 15th, the City Council of San Diego approved funding for the Small Dog Park at Dusty Rhodes. It includes money for a fence to separate the Small Dog section from the larger area where big dogs roam. Now it just needs to be installed.

As a follow up to my last two posts [at Voice of San Diego], I went down to the City Purchasing Department to look at the design-build proposals that were submitted for the Brighton Avenue Comfort Station in Ocean Beach. What I found out there and in subsequent calls to the proposers on the project just reaffirmed my original suspicion that the City, to put it politely, messed this up.

Defend the Dream Action

Please join the MoveOn National Call to Action to Defend the American Dream. This is in solidarity with our fellow American Workers and Americans in distress.

Locally, the Rally will be on Tuesday, March 15, after work at 6 PM at the San Diego County Administration Building at 1600 Pacific Highway.

What is peace? Is it merely the absence of war? Or, like Switzerland and Costa Rica, the refusal to use aggression as national policy? Is it micro or macro; harmony in the family or tranquility in our nation’s inner streets? Is it a noun or a verb? Something one has, like a bank account or a house, or is it something one does, a way of life?
