Urgent Topic to be Addressed by Paul Koretz at Carole's Houseparty |
![]() |
Mary Fuchsman is hosting our next Houseparty this Saturday, August 9 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
A $25 donation will be greatfully accepted. Please join us. The Honorable Paul Koretz,
(Assemblyman - Retired) will be our featured speaker.
Paul had a distinguished career in the State Legislature, is now the Director of the Jewish Labor Committee
and is running for LA County Supervisor in 2009. He has been a social justice activist all his life and
has made an impressive impact throughout his career. He currently serves as the co-chair of the LA County
Democratic Party Legislative Committee on which Carole sits also. One can't help but deeply admire the breadth of his
understanding as well as his great ability to work with and move people toward action.
Paul will talk about
our budget crisis and what needs to be done to fix our structural problems at the State Legislature, which
causes this disaster year after year. The ultimate solution is to get 54 Democrats elected so we can overturn
the 2/3rd vote requirement that now allows the Republicans to stonewall our efforts to achieve a balanced budget.
Are you aware that California is only one of three states that require this "super majority" to increase
revenue and pass a budget? We are really honored that Paul will be coming to our houseparty and hope
you will attend. We will all learn more about how we can improve our government and break this gridlock
that paralyzes California every year and as Republican operative, Grover Norquist said, is slowly "shrinking
government so small you can drown it in the bathtub". For further details please see
