Arnold For Assembly 

Welcome and thank you for visiting.


  I must again express my deep appreciation and gratitude to all those that supported my 2008 campaign for California's 68th Assembly District. While we did not get the victory that most had hoped and worked for, our very strong showing definately had an impact and has changed the political dynamics in central and western Orange County for the better.

  I have not yet made any commitments about the 2010 race for the 68th Assembly seat except to fight for a Democratic victory.  We must secure real representation for the people of the district and change the power dynamics in Sacramento so that the state government may again serve the needs and wishes of the people of the state.

  I assure you that any donations made now will go to candidates and activities that need them and will be wisely used in furtherance of good progressive government for California and Orange County.

  While we do not have an active campaign at the moment, we have some very important party activities here in Orange County that urgently need your support.
  
 
  The Democratic Party Booth at the Strawberry Festival is an important piece of the party's outreach and visibility in the central part of Orange County. The 3 day festival attracts over a quarter million guests each year and each year the 68th AD PAC sponsors and staffs a great booth to represent the party, its values and its candidates. We invite local and statewide candidates to provide literature and invite them and concerned Democrats to help finance this and the many other actvities of the 68th AD PAC. To learn more and donate click here. 

This year's Festival is May 22-25 so your prompt contributions are much appreciated.

  The City of Huntington Beach puts on the largest 4th of July Parade in the western United States. It attracts over 300,00 people to the parade route and perhaps millions more viewing on television. The Democrats of Orange County have for many years marched and had a float and band. We are proud of the great presence we show in one of the most Republican cities in the county and are proud of the many awards we have won there in the past. This year is particularly important for the city as it celebrates its 100th anniversary and for the Democrats of Orange County as this year we can finally profess to more than 500,000 registered Democrats in Orange County on our banner. The relative small cost of our participation comes back many fold in the energy and inspiration of the people seeing us and of those participating.

Our participation in this year's parade is in great jeopardy due to remaining financial strains from last's years campaign activities. We urgently need your donations soon to make deposits!!. At present, We have no way to take your contributions online. You can get a form at http://www.dcwoc.org/e107_plugins/survey/survey.php?1 print it out, write "Parade Contribution" in the comments and mail it with a check to the DCWOC (address on same page as the form).

 While you cannot fully appreciate it without being present for the sounds, the sun, the sea air and the great crowd interactions, you can view some of my photos from previous parades on Flickr 2006 2007 2008
  The Democratic Party of Orange County has great plans for this and coming years. The DPOC did some really great work the past few years, we have to turn the great progress made into more office holders and even more registered Democrats. We have some truly great opportunities ahead of us and many very engaged Democrats including a strong volunteer force. However, to accomplish all that we want and need to, we also need money. Please consider making a donation toward turning Orange County blue and giving the more than 1/2 million Democrats of Orange County the representation that they deserve. 

I also know that the margins of victory or losses in Orange County will be major factors next year in getting or not getting the statewide officers and propositions that we want, as well as impacting the re-election of a favorite and very important U.S. Senator. We need the party here to be strong for the benefit of the whole state, nation and world.
