Dear Club Members and Friends,
First of all, we would thank Ann Crosbie for joining out Club meeting yesterday to lead a discussion on the pros and cons of California Proposition 50 (“Prop 50”). Ann also provided this link to the San Diego County Democratic Party website which includes the the following statement on this important issue: “San Diego County is a battleground in the fight to stop Trump and preserve fair elections. That’s why SD Dems are working to pass Proposition 50. Also known as the Election Rigging Response Act, it’s a ballot measure in the November 4 special election that would protect California’s voice in Congress. Republicans in Texas and other states are making an unprecedented power grab to rig the 2026 elections. They want to steal enough seats to control Congress regardless of how the people vote. If we don’t act now, Trump will hold unchecked power for two more years”.
Ann is one of the leaders of the Del Mar Prop 50 GoTeam. Click HERE if you would like to participate in a Zoom call on Sunday, September 28th at 10:00 AM to learn more about Prop 50 and how you can help get out the vote in your Del Mar neighborhood. Ann also provided the following link to the California Democratic Party webpage with additional info on how you can support Prop 50.
Hold the Line California– Saturday, September 27th, 10am- 12pm
Californians will be locking arms in strength and solidarity this Saturday spanning from North County to the Central Coast. This demonstration will show our support for Prop 50, as well as support for stopping the threats to our individual freedoms, our environment, our healthcare, our economy, and our democracy as a whole. The closest organized meetup location is at the Oceanside Civic Center, although a meetup site in Encinitas along 101 might still be established (check website for any updates). And even closer to home, you can extend the coastal highway presence by joining Del Mar’ weekly Save Our Democracy rallies, meeting every Saturday from 11am-12pm, at the corner of 11th Street and Camino Del Mar.
Dear Club Members and Friends,
Resuming after our traditional Summer break, please join us for our next Club meeting on Thursday, September 25th at 6:00pm (via Zoom). We will have a discussion, led by our Club President Dwight Worden, on Prop 50, also known as the Election Rigging Response Act, coming on your November 2025 California statewide ballot. Texas and other “Red” states are gerrymandering their voting districts in an effort to assure President Trump and Republicans get more votes in the upcoming midterm elections. Led by Governor Newsom, California is proposing to respond by offsetting these Republican moves by temporary redistricting in our state. We’ll have an informative presentation on Prop 50, the pros and cons, and how our local voting districts would be affected, followed by open discussion by members. We’ll conclude with a live survey of those in attendance to help form a position for the Torrey Pines Democratic Club.
