He has two concerts scheduled this weekend – Sat, 8-28, at 7:30 & Sun, 8-29 at 3 at First United Methodist Church (Garden @ Anapamu). Tickets are only $15/$10 Students.

3) Call to Action – Calls Needed to Governor – NOW
Please call/contact Gov Schwarzenegger to veto AB 1602 and SB 900. These bills implement ObamaCare in our state. Phone: 916-445-2841 / Fax: 916-558-3160 ( new number) “Yesterday, the CA Senate passed key state implementation bills establishing the California health insurance exchange — AB1602 (Perez) and SB900 (Alquist/Steinberg) – making California the FIRST STATE IN THE NATION to take this central step of implementing the new federal health reform law! Several other bills passed as well, and many more are expected to go to a floor vote later this week. To get up-to-date info on all the State implementation and consumer protection bills in the State legislature, visit this link.”
As a sidebar, this is just another reason why we need Mike Stoker in the CA Assembly. Volunteer at www.stoker4assembly.com
4) Debate – Carly vs. Boxer – Wednesday, 9.1 @ 7 to 8 – C-Span TV
This may very well be the only debate between Fiorina and Boxer and could be the tipping point in the race. SBTP will notify members on or before Monday with a location if we decide to gather for this happening.
5) SBTP Targeted National Race – John Dennis, Queen Nancy’s Nemesis
Candidate Dennis gave an inspiring speech in Santa Barbara on Wednesday. Many tea partiers attended the luncheon honoring him. Dennis is on SBTP’s list of National Targets for Election. (The Left dismissed Scotty Brown, but the miracle of a defeat of Queen Nancy could not be excused.) John Dennis needs help now from the grassroots with his media blitz. Visit www.johndennis2010.com.
6) Update – 3rd Candidate in Congressional Race – Campaign Heats Up
Attorney John Hager has qualified to be on the ballot as an Independent candidate for the 23rd Congressional District seat now held by incumbent US Rep. Lois Capps. In an article in 8.26 SB News-Press, he states he is running against both Democrats and Republicans, and nearly all his interview attacks Tom Watson. www.watson4congress.com.
