A plea to Vote It is not a mere coincidence That the word vote Rhymes with hope After all Each new election is an opportunity A chance to wipe the slate clean And start all over again Or an affirmation That we are on the right path However you see it A vote is a vote For democracy For all that is right in the world Strange how a small piece of paper A ballot Can overcome the most fearful of weapons And silence All those calling for hate Remember, it is not too late To cast your hope!

Measure T provides continued funding for the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority (OSA). It is not a new tax; it is a renewal of a parcel tax that received over 68% of Santa Claran’s votes in 2014. The OSA protects open space which benefits Santa Clarans by keeping our water supply clean, supporting local agriculture, protecting wildlife and providing recreational opportunities. Recent purchases by the OSA in Coyote Valley will help preserve that critical corridor as open space. In addition, the OSA has contributed to local projects in Santa Clara, including: • Ulistac Natural Area trails and habitat restoration, • Community Garden at Everett N. “Eddie” Souza Park and • Bowers Park habitat restoration and pathway development. The OSA is a great steward of public money, providing benefits that we all enjoy. The OSA has earned your YES vote on Measure T.

Hello, How do I find out who subsidized and paid for the mailer outlining litigation between the 49ers and Santa Clara city? It was an odd mailer that didn't refer to a specific proposition or candidate in the upcoming election. Basically that the city of Santa Clara has never sued the 49ers. I'm not a 49er fan but it was definitely anti-49er. Are my taxes being used for this by the city of Santa Clara? Thanks.

Mayor & Council Just thought you might want to know how great a job or city mayor and the council are doing spending our tax dollars, highest paid city employees - stupid law suites, etc… Now to my point, my wife passed away on sept 5th. We have been in the city for over 51 years. I make arrangement for her burial at the City of Santa Clara memorial park. We are supposed to get a reduction for the plots, it was higher than the other cemetery across the street but I went with it anyway. Memorial Park is a mess. The lawn is up to your ankles, dead flowers all over etc. So, I ask what is the problem with the maintenance; no money for personal.  Really, that is the answer I got. It’s run by the parks and rec dept.  They have nothing going on with the parks

Dear Mayor & Council, I would appreciate some explanation as to why the City of Santa Clara is mailing campaign literature to residents.  You are spending public funds on political propaganda in trying to sway the election outcome. You have quoted the City Attorneys report from September 29 2020 which appears to been done as part of normal work day where he is paid with public funds. You state that the City has never instigated any law suits against the 49ers.  The 49ers have no other way  to get your attention but to haul you into court or arbitration.  The Council has spent large sums to fight the the voter right act and the attempting to change a contract to manage the stadium. Meanwhile the City streets are littered with trash, street lights are out, trees are not being maintained, but there is money to go to Paris.This has got

I am a teacher and lifelong resident of SC. I have taught at Pomeroy for 16+ yrs. I am a product of SCUSD (Pomeroy, Buchser and SCHS). I and other teachers of SCUSD endorse Bonnie Lieberman, Andrew Knaack and Albert Gonzalez for school board. We want a board who will work collaboratively with district stakeholders to make the best decisions for SCUSD students. We want a board who listens and respects teacher and parent voice. We want a board that will help us to provide the best education possible to our students by addressing educational issues, especially during this pandemic, in a timely manner. We want transparency in decision making so we can prepare for the future. It’s time that we elect a board who will put children first, not just in their words, but with their actions. Join teachers and parents in supporting Bonnie, Andrew and Albert!

Foreign King Jed York has injected San Francisco-like dark money through “foreign collusion” with four (4) city council candidates: H. Bhatia, K. Park, S. Jain and A. Becker, all of whom constitute the “Four Horsemen of the Santa Clara Apocalypse.” Foreign collusion exists as a non-Santa Claran interloper is meddling in our community to “PACK” 70% of our council. DreamHost, LLC, is a common registrar for the following: www.nooneill.com, www.nowatanabe.com, www.nookeefe.com, and www.nomezzetti.com. Did each of the 4 Horsemen “coincidentally” or “secretly” select DreamHost? The Mercury endorses the 4 Horsemen, genuflecting to King Jed to preserve access to the NFL. The 4 Horsemen reap benefits of foreign money and NONE have DENOUNCED Jed. I ask Santa Clarans to now and forever reject each of these colluders, and repel the foreign invasion now. Later, we’ll take out the trash—ourselves. Long Live the Mission City!
