CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC MID LA OFFICE KICKOFF EVENT

2240 W. Washington Blvd. just west of Western, north side

SUNDAY SEPT. 5TH 1 - 2:30 PM come and say hello

Midterm elections (Nov. 2) tend to have low voter turnout so the California Democratic Party has set up an office in the Western Heights community on Washington Bvld. Their pupose is to provide registered democratics who may find it difficult to get out to the voting booths, with a "vote by mail ballot" application.

They are looking for volunteers to walk precincts and distribute the applications or work phone banks to identify democratic voters who are interested in having the "vote by mail ballot" application sent to them. You can earn college credits, get letters of recommendation, looks great on college applications and resumes.

To Volunteer or request an application contact:

What Happened to Michael VIck's Pit Bulls?

Friday, 13 August 2010 16:23 Jim Gorant

The little black-and-white dog knocked into furniture and hid things in his crate. He couldn’t go up or down stairs, didn’t know how to climb onto a couch. Flushing toilets and clanging pots sent him running from the room. He wasn’t a bad dog—he simply didn’t know any better; he’d never lived in a house. His lack of social grace earned him the name Jonny Rotten. “He was a caveman,” says Cris Cohen, a Burlingame, Calif., car-dealership manager who provided Jonny with a foster home. “He had no manners.”

That was understandable. Jonny was one of 51 pit bulls seized in April 2007 from Bad Newz Kennels, the Smithfield, Va., dogfighting ring run by Michael Vick, then quarterback of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. Although too young to have been a fighter, Jonny probably had his mettle tested a few times, and like most of the other Bad Newz dogs, he’d spent his entire life either locked up in a pen or chained to a rotating axle in the woods, with little or no positive interaction with people or other dogs.
