In 1995 a small group of women noticed that women weren’t being represented in local and state office. They noticed that the issues closest to their hearts were missing from the local dialog.
They began campaigning for women and men who shared their vision for Kern County. Just over a decade later, HALF of the elected officials who represent Kern County at the state level are Democrats, several of Kern County’s mayors are Democrats (and women!) and Democrats hold a wide variety of non-partisan offices (both elected and appointed) county-wide.
The DWK has fought for all of these changes and we are now seeing the fruits of our success. People in Kern County now care about their air and water, neighborhoods are safer and everyone has awakened to the need for quality jobs in our beautiful County.

Who I'd like to meet: Democrats and Progressives world-wide and anyone in Kern County, California that respects what we are doing.
From one Thom Hartmann fan to another — thanks for adding me. ¶ People hear only what they want, so facts alone won't wake them; they need inspiration too. ¶ This world's evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, & murderers — whether in school, home, government, or elsewhere — believe we're all separate, motivated only by self-interest, by greed & fear. They want us to share that belief; they use it to justify themselves and to discourage us from uniting. They use it to shape the world's political & economic systems that perpetuate war & poverty. Their real power comes not so much from secret conspiracies as from propaganda that we all hear every day and that we hardly notice. ¶ But you & I have found something better inside ourselves & our friends. It's in everyone, if we can just wake them; we're all one flesh & blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor & temporary. ¶ The outcome of the ideological struggle is not yet determined, so no one can afford to be just a spectator. Join the movement, if you haven't already: get involved in whatever way feels right for you. Question authority. Keep fighting, loving, hoping, singing. Hand in hand, we may still be able to heal this world. ¶ I'm impressed with ideas of Lakoff & Waldman about *how* to spread the vision, so I'm trying to promote their ideas via comments like this one and the essay on my MySpace page. It's free (I'm not selling anything). ¶ The real war is between classes, not nations; so I'll picnic on July 14, not July 4. CLOSE GUANTANAMO BY BASTILLE DAY; PASS IT ON. ¶ Peace, love, hope, and revolution — Eric
Tonight was the Clinton campaign’s last best chance to make a significant dent in our lead in pledged delegates and they have failed. In our latest projections, we will win the Texas caucus with a double-digit margin and any pledged delegate shift will be absolutely minimal. In fact, Clinton’s chances of regaining the delegate lead actually decreased tonight, as the number of delegates remaining dwindles.
Please help us continue to grow this movement... Make a contribution now.

Hello Fellow Democrats,
Please Become active in the Draft Gore Movement! We will know soon if Mr Gore wants to join the Race. America is ready for Change!
Draft Al Gore in 2008!
Honored to be your new friends. Thanks for being ours, Democratic women of Kern. Have a safe July 4th.
Folks, if you want to take your country back, you first have to take your media back, because right now it's being controlled by those with more of a political agenda than a news agenda. The media is supposed to be the people's watchdog, not the GOP's lapdog.
And that's where we come in, and we're counting on your support. Please visit our MySpace page and become our friend. No matter which side of the political aisle you're on - and whether you like it or not - we're all in this together.
"At every crossway on the road that leads to the future, each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand men appointed to guard the past." -Maurice Maeterlinck

Hey check out the new designs on my new T-shirts, hats and other clothing and gifts. One of the best ways to get around the millions republicans will spend on advertising is to use word of mouth to spread our message. The easiest way to do that is by wearing our messages and becoming walking billboards to defeat the right! Check out my shop Stop the GOP and let me know what you think. I appreciate suggestions from my fellow friends and activists.
I am asking people to please come and read my blog regarding the Iraqi refugee crisis...there is a link there to contact members of Congress to do the right thing and provide humanitarian relief for the hundreds of thousands displaced.
Thank you....
I found myself daydreaming about moving out to Bakersfield the other day and leaving this Big City life behind, so I figured I'd stop by and say hello.
Hope all is well and that the Democratic Peace Movement is thriving out there in Cali!
