Welcome
| Welcome to Democracy Action! Democracy Action is a San Francisco-based Democratic club and PAC providing members and volunteers the organization and support necessary to influence state and national politics. We are the San Francisco chapter of Progressive Democrats of America. Presidential Primaries & Caucuses Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton are still duking it out, with Obama getting ever closer after his big May 6 win in North Carolina and a narrow loss in Indiana. 100 Years War McCain has clinched, and we're up against McCain's Hundred Years after Bush's Hundred Blunders, in effect a "third term" for Bush", and some strategic lying. Check out detailed election information and the candidates' contact information on the flip. Will the Super Delegates need to stage a mini-convention after the final June 3 primaries to resolve the delegate count and presumptive nominee before the August convention? DemocracyAction's staying out, ready to be a unifying force once we know if it's Obama or Hillary in the home stretch against McSame. ![]() Evan Vucci/AP April 22 - Pennsylvania: Hillary 55%, Obama 45% May 6 - Indiana: Hillary 51%, Obama 49% - North Carolina: Obama 56%, Hillary 42% The final rounds: West Virginia (39) - May 13 Kentucky (60) & Oregon (65) - May 20 Puerto Rico (63) - June 1 Montana (24) & South Dakota (23) - June 3 Check out polling results for upcoming primaries.

Now oil prices have skyrocketed, Baghdad has become a recruiting ground for jihadists, we're bankrupting ourselves, and American standing has never been lower in the world." Eric Lotke, Campaign for America's Future

The Dems hold 12 and the Repubs 23 of the Senate seats up for election Nov 4 - 10 solid Dem seats & 13 solid Repubs. South Dakota Tim Johnson and Louisiana Mary Landrieu are the only Dems in any jeopardy, while the retirement of Virginia John Warner (R) leaves his seat ripe for the picking by former Governor Mark Warner (D). The Dems' five toss-up races include Congressmen Mark & Tom Udall, cousins, running for retiring Colorado Wayne Allard (R) and New Mexico Pete Domenici (R) seats, respectively; New Hampshire former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen vs. John Sununu (R); Maine Congressman Tom Allen vs. Susan Collins (R); Oregon House Speaker Jeff Merkle (or Steve Novick) vs. Gordon Smith (R); Minnesota Al Franken or Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer vs. Norm Coleman (R); and Alaska Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich or former state Rep. Ray Metcalfe vs. Ted Stevens (R). Read the rest ... Presidential Primary Watch Parties 150 Dems and Progressives came together at the Jillian's Super Tuesday Primary Watch Party on February 5, and another 60 at Julie's Supper Club on March 11, including neutrals, Hillaryites and Obamiacs, all committed to winning the Nov 4 2008 election and taking back our country! "100 Year War McCain" meanwhile is globe-trotting and confusing Shiites with Sunnis and Iran with Al Qaeda. ![]() Read the rest ...

Election Reform Trial Finds Diebold Voting Machine Guilty The City Hall steps bore witness to an Oct 30th mock trial of a Diebold touch screen voting machine for "Crimes Against Democracy". About 40 people gathered around the Raging Grannies, as they sang newly-inspired lyrics to traditional patriotic songs with coverage by several TV stations, to be part of a "jury" to hear testimony against secret, proprietary software in electronic voting machines. Witness Dan Ashby of the Election Defense Alliance led off for the prosecution.
