This month the Burbank Democrats take a local tack on school funding and the state budget crisis impact with guest Dave Kemp, vice president of the Burbank Board.of Education. Though holding a non-partisan seat, Kemp is a Democrat and will take questions after his remarks.

Members can also weigh in on whether or not the club should join in the renewed call to censure Sen. Diane Feinstein, prompted by her telecom immunity/FISA "yes" vote and others, now led by the CA Courage Campaign. And there will be plenty of ongoing voter reg and electioneering info to pick up, as the club also eyes helping Russ Warner's campaign against GOP mainstay David Dreier in the adjacent 26th District.

Phone Cards for Vets

Friday, August 1, 2008 - 12:00am

Our veterans aren't always shown the appreciation they deserve. Even after the sacrifices they have made for our country, those who are at VA hospitals still have to pay for their own phone calls home.

Valley Grassroots for Democracy and 4 Star Democratic Club are teaming up to collect contributions to buy phone cards for these veterans. For $5 you can buy one card which will pay for about 350 minutes. (The actual amount is based on the volume discount we are able to achieve.) We will buy the phone cards in bulk and deliver them to the VA hospital in West Los Angeles where they can be used by our local veterans.

Our previous phone card drives have paid for tens of thousands of minutes. Won't you show our veterans that we respect their service and sacrifice and contribute $5, $10, $25, or more to this important cause?

To make an online contribution fo to http://www.actblue.com/page/phonecardsforvets . You can also make a contribution via check made out to VGFD and mail it to PO Box 573383, Tarzana, CA 91357. Write "Phone cards" in the memo line. Deadline is August 1.
