Measure D: New Website, Volunteers needed and 30 days left!
With less than 30 days left until the May 19th election, now, more than ever the MDUSD Measure D campaign needs your help. Can you spend an hour to walk to particular homes in your neighborhood? How about some time making some calls? Any time you can devote is appreciated and will aid in making this Measure a huge , resounding YES for our kids!
Also, next week Tuesday, April 28, Wednesday 4/29, and Thursday 4/30 is a fundraiser at ROCCO's Pizza in Walnut Creek (Oak Grove at Ygnacio near Safeway/Applebees). Just mention Measure D and proceeds will go toward supporting this campaign to restore quality programs to our schools!
A new website for YES on Measure D has been unveiled this week. Mt. Diablo School District has cut over 15 million just this year! More may be coming. Measure D will yield upwards of 7 million dollars per year. This 7 million dollars stays local, and can not be taken away by the state to cure their budget problems. Vote Yes on May 19th for Mt. Diablo School District's Measure D.
Check it out! http://www.protectourlocalschools.com/
MDUSD's Measure D requires a 2/3 voter majority and we can do it with your help!

Local officials, volunteers come out in support of Measure D
It was a beautiful morning to kick off Measure D!
Many people came to meet their fellow "feeder pattern" volunteers, and it was a very exciting vibe! Each week volunteers will be able to coordinate with their site captains, or just head to the campaign office, and pick up a packet to go and talk to their neighbors about Measure D.
Even if you've never been "political," this can be a lot of fun! It's simple. There is a script included in the packet, there are specific addresses/people you will want to go see and you'll be armed with FAQ's and leave behind flyers. The campaign needs your help to get the YES vote out in force on May 19th. Sign up to help at http://www.protectourlocalschools.org/
So today, we heard from Superintendent Dr. Dick Nicoll, Gary Eberhart, President of the MDUSD Board of Education, MDEA President, Mike Noce, State Senator Mark DeSaulnier, and Kish Rajan of the Walnut Creek City Council and more.
Milling about were several Mayors, City Council members, County Board of Education members, MDUSD Board members and other prominent community supporters.
Thanks to Craig Cheslog of Assemblyman Tom Torlakson's office for posting the video of the event on youtube: MEASURE D KICK OFF

MDUSD In the MOVIES!
CHECK IT OUT! http://concordmovie.com/
Wow, talk about creative. A MDUSD dad, Jeff Mosley, has started a project that will help raise money toward sports and music at MDUSD. From a recent blog entry on their site:
"15,000 to go!
This is crazy! We're a couple of months away from trying to produce a children's action-adventure film and our team thinks that it's possible to sell the DVD in advance. The Mt. Diablo Unified School District is cutting the sports and music programs from all of the high schools because of the state budget cuts. We are hoping that you will consider helping us produce this film so that we can sell it nationally and give money to the schools to keep their programs alive! Your pre-order will help us make the film, give you a DVD that you can enjoy as a family and help the school district, so please pre-order a copy now. The movie will be filmed in June, edited in July and August, replicated in September and October and you will receive your copy in November!"
Go to the http://www.concordmovie.com/ site and buy your DVD now! What a great cause, and Jeff, what an amazing idea!
You can even see Gary Eberhart on a segment with Concord Mayor Laura Hoffmeister! Doesn't get any better than that!

Last week was also our very first meeting of site captains. Thank you to everyone that came. We had over 50 teachers and parents coming together to show their enthusiasm and energy for this campaign. We discussed what the role of a site captain is, outlined the campaign, and answered questions about Measure D. Site captains will be calling volunteers this week to begin mobilizing. It was a great showing and demonstrated the strength of our grassroots efforts and the incredible amount of support Measure D has.
We now have a total of 71 site captains, however some schools are still without one. Here is the list of schools still needing site captains. ( ) notes number of volunteers signed up.

Measure D Newsletter - what can you do to help?
Hi Measure D Supporters,
Thank you for your support of Measure D to protect our local schools against the continuing barrage of state budget cuts that is devastating the Mt. Diablo Unified School District. My name is Rudy Ramirez and I am the campaign manager for Measure D. I will be managing the day-to-day operations of the campaign, including coordinating all of our volunteers.
We have a real challenge ahead of us to capture the difficult 2/3rds voter support necessary to pass Measure D. And we don't have much time. Our campaign will be successful as long as we have active volunteers from the MDUSD school family, including our parents, teachers and other District employees and our community supporters.
I will send out this email every Monday to keep you and all our other volunteers informed about what the campaign is doing, our progress, what we've got coming up and how you can get involved. You can also visit www.ProtectOurLocalSchools.org to get information.
Where Are We with the Campaign?
The Campaign for Measure D is led by Community United for Excellent Schools (CUES) and is comprised of a highly energetic and active group of board members, administrators, teachers, and parents, all of which have led to an excellent beginning for the campaign. Among the actions we have already taken:
Organized committees to secure campaign endorsements, raise contributions, and conduct voter outreach.
Submitted a primary argument as well as a rebuttal argument that will appear on the voter guide provided by Contra Costa County.
Opened a campaign headquarters at 2280 Diamond Blvd, Suite 350, Concord. James Busby of Security Owners Corporation generously donated the space, which was furnished by the United Democratic Committee of Contra Costa. Thanks to the volunteers who helped get our office up and running. I encourage you stop by and visit. Our office hours are from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
What Can You Do to Help?
Volunteer. We badly need more volunteers for our voter outreach, which in coming weeks will involve phoning voters and walking neighborhoods to encourage voters to cast their ballot for Measure D. This will be one of our most important tools in passing Measure D.
We need site captains for each school who will recruit and manage volunteers for phoning and walking. You can have more than one site captain for each school. Time commitment will be 4-6 hours a week, primarily in evenings and weekends.
We will hold an informational meeting for site captains - or those considering it - on Wednesday March 18th 6:30pm at the Measure D headquarters. For information, call me at 925-202-3178. We'll have pizza and drinks.

Headquarters staff. We need a few volunteers to staff the HQ during the week and weekends for a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the afternoon. No special skills required. Need a friendly, upbeat attitude. If you speak Spanish, even better.
Staffing events. There are many school and community events where we can communicate with voters about Measure D (see list below). We need volunteers to staff tables, talk with voters and answer their questions, and hand out fact sheets, endorsement forms and any other literature. This is an excellent way to get involved.
Webpage Help. We need a Webmaster ASAP!! We already have a webpage up and running, just need someone for updating.
Thank you once again to everyone for your continued support of Measure D and the Mt. Diablo Unified School District. Please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns. Together we can continue to make MDUSD a great place to learn and interact.
