I collected enough signatures and now I will appear on the ballot for California's 35th congressional district. I will be running against Maxine Waters (socialist), a guy in the American Independent Party (socialist), and another democrat (socialist). There is no republican running.

This means after the primary one of the Democrats will be removed from the ballot because the incumbant (Maxine Waters) will get the Democratic Party nomination. It will be a 3 way race and I'm pretty sure I will come in second place even though the other guy has ran several times before.

I will raise as much money as I can to buy business cards, yard signs, bumper stickers, pens, pins, etc. and I want to host 2 BBQ's this summer. One will be burgers and franks in a mainly black neighborhood (I can't afford ribs), and one will be a carne asada in a hispanic area. I'll try to have a band and a stage at each party with a PA system so I can give a short speech. I'll do one in Spanish and one in English, though I'm tempted to do one in Japanese and one in Vietnamese also.

I need all the help I can get in terms of volunteers, and money. My website needs a lot of work but it's tough to find time between my job (10-12 hrs per day), my marriage, and other responsibilities.
