Volunteering today can help this happen for someone in the years to come.

A great opportunity  has just arisen to bring people out of the shadows.  High demand has caused a need for more volunteers at a Citizenship Fair this Saturday, May 3, 2014, from 9 am until 2 pm at North Orange County Community College District building (on Romneya west of Euclid.)

The event is being organized the by Orange County Communities Organized for Responsible Development (OCCORD). They are expecting over 500 attendees at this exciting and important event. Volunteer training will take place tomorrow and Friday.

A copy of the flier for the event can be found at: http://www.occord.org/img/original/May%203%20Flyer.jpg .

Please call OCCORD (714) 621- 0919) ask for Luis D. Vega, Citizenship Program Coordinator, and register to volunteer at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fEuoD4sHaXMRO3XSAEhcBvTbYp5CRRRfWYVUYn2cEa8/viewform?edit_requested=true. They have two shifts on which they need more volunteers.

Please pitch in if you can!  And if this is not your thing, find your cause and volunteer!

About Greg Diamond

Somewhat verbose attorney, semi-disabled and semi-retired, residing in northwest Brea. Occasionally ran for office against jerks who otherwise would have gonr unopposed. Got 45% of the vote against Bob Huff for State Senate in 2012; Josh Newman then won the seat in 2016. In 2014 became the first attorney to challenge OCDA Tony Rackauckas since 2002; Todd Spitzer then won that seat in 2018. Every time he's run against some rotten incumbent, the *next* person to challenge them wins! He's OK with that. Corrupt party hacks hate him. He's OK with that too. He does advise some local campaigns informally and (so far) without compensation. (If that last bit changes, he will declare the interest.) His daughter is a professional campaign treasurer. He doesn't usually know whom she and her firm represent. Whether they do so never influences his endorsements or coverage. (He does have his own strong opinions.) But when he does check campaign finance forms, he is often happily surprised to learn that good candidates he respects often DO hire her firm. (Maybe bad ones are scared off by his relationship with her, but they needn't be.)
