[Tony in Hawaii]

You too, bro.

Thanks for puttin' it on the line for California. I may be Tony in Hawaii, but I was born in California, (Los Altos, in the Bay Area) spent many summers in Alderpoint, in Humboldt County near Garberville, and I'll probably live here for the rest of my life.

I'm not giving up on this place.

Sacramento Bee is going to print my letter to the editor about Saturday's DUMP DAVIS Rally. Yahoo! Here's the text:

Re "Hundreds join anti-war rally," Oct. 20: The Bee gave great coverage to the anti-war protest but was silent about FreeRepublic.com's "Dump Davis" rally which took place on the same day on the south steps of the Capitol.

Our rally had great visuals -- a real dump truck, huge banners, anti-Gov. Gray Davis signs, pro-Bill Simon signs, as well as the "Vast Right Wing Street Theater," which featured two dueling "eGray hookers" to make fun of Gray Davis's "pay to play" policies. About 150 people were in attendance. Several speakers gave rousing speeches. We were there to vent our outrage over Davis outrageously corrupt governance and to tout our support for Simon.

It was a great rally but not one word was written in The Bee. Maybe it's because we're a totally grass roots operation; we're not professionals. Or maybe -- and this is my theory -- The Bee is biased.
