Comments on: How to Donate to the Greg Diaz Campaign http://sierravoices.com/2010/01/how-to-donate-to-the-greg-diaz-campaign/ Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 10 May 2012 12:40:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: jeffpelline http://sierravoices.com/2010/01/how-to-donate-to-the-greg-diaz-campaign/comment-page-1/#comment-438 jeffpelline Sat, 30 Jan 2010 07:30:29 +0000 http://sierravoices.com/?p=2374#comment-438 Don, Actually I really meant Nevada City, which is where Don B.'s expertise lies. Passing a tax to help fix the roads there, for example. I'm not sure holding a fundraiser at Kane's qualifies for digging into the GV electorate or expanding there. But since I'm supporting Greg in the race, I didn't want to quibble. I will say this again: The campaign team needs to tap the GV electorate and Truckee electorate, and I hope it can. Greg is the most qualified candidate for this nonpartisan post, so I hope it's doable. Don,

I was merely confused by your original statement, which apparently only expressed part of what you intended it to express. You said he needed to reach beyond Nevada City when -- according to your clarification -- you meant to say that he needed to reach beyond Nevada City <i>and</i> Grass Valley. It's early in the campaign. I'm sure he'll reach out to all voters, regardless of political disposition. I'm glad we agree that Greg is the best qualified.

My wife, son and I were at the event. We are big supporters of Greg, not for political reasons but because he is the most qualified. We would like to see more center-right and Truckee people in the mix, since it is a county-wide race. Don,

I'm confused why you say that the Diaz campaign is reaching out only to the center-left? What's the evidence for that? And, since they just had a fundraiser in Kane's (Grass Valley), why do you say they need to reach beyond Nevada City, since they clearly are. What am I missing? Jeff:

I hope he can. We were happy to give $500. Don B. will have to reach outside Nevada City and the center-left to the center-right and up into Truckee to get Greg elected. I hope he can.
