We will be skipping a June meeting due to many folks going on vacation and decompressing from the recent election but July will be upon us and a new meeting will be scheduled soon to begin the endorsement process.
In past years, many candidates and politicos in SF have complained that the questionnaires for candidates was too long and included too many non-dog issues. We all know it is very easy now to be a dog-friendly candidate in SF and that there are more dog families than there are children (and combined) so coming up with salient and smart questions that can help weed out some of the more arcane issues that are of concern to the community that you as voters would like to have answered are so very welcome.
In the next week, a new section on this website will be created for you to place your suggestions.
Also, DogPAC does have some expenses and as with political action committees we will be looking to support our slate for the upcoming November election, the steering committee is considering whether candidate-paid slate card is a good idea or whether fundraising should be done so that it is completely DogPAC-funded promotions showing that candidates are not buying their endorsements. Again, your suggestions are welcome. |

Joined with SFDOG and Red Dog Ranch's Ranch Bones biscuits at last Sunday's Haight Ashbury Street Fair. We had a great location and plenty of visitors taking literature and signing up for our mailing list. Plus, Red Dog Ranch has a great turn-out. They are really, really good for your dog and are all natural from their organic ranch in Gualala, CA. (Pics to come)
We hope to do more of these outings to help (re)organize the SF dog community for both education, responsible dog guardianship and to elect great dog-friendly legislators and policies. Please do forward any information you may be able to offer. |
