I just got off the phone with Carol Kim, candidate for San Diego City Council in the 6th district. She is a very good candidate, understands the issues, and is not corrupted by the system (yet). I dont live in the City of San Diego, but did send her a contribution nonetheless. Her race is close so consider helping her if you can. I am reposting the following: VOTING RECOMMENDATIONS Do you vote-by-mail? Please GET YOUR BALLOT IN EARLY!
