Hi, I can't be the only one in SF that takes a more conservative approach to fiscal issues/national security. This next year is going to be rough we need to stick together.

The purpose of this group is to allow like-minded singles the opportunity to gather for social events because sometimes we just need a fun break! We live in one of the most liberal areas of the United States. Getting to know others who share our constitutionalist values can be sanity inducing and encouraging!

… We’ll be focusing on topics such as water conservation, community-supported agriculture, recycling, organic food, energy conservation, green schools, green cleaning, green design and building and more. We are in the process of reaching out to businesses, organizations, residents and local officials to talk about how we can all collaborate in fostering sustainable living in San Ramon. Philosophy: We can all make a difference with even small changes in our lifestyle to maintain our current and fut …

I am running for Congress in the 9th Congressional District of California. I want a forum for discussion with Alameda County residents and anyone interested in moving our district in a fresh new direction. The days of old ideas are numbered. I believe free-market solutions to both social and economic problems are the way forward; I would like to hear diverse opinions. Anyone interested in the future of Alameda County is welcome to join.

We're a group of people from throughout the East Bay and beyond who get together pretty much every week to remove invasive weeds and replant native species in Redwood Regional Park, Sibley Regional Park, Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve, and adjoining open space and wild lands throughout the Greater East Bay Hills Ecosystem. We get to see beautiful native plants and wildlife return to places from which they had been absent, get lots of fresh air and exercise in the process, and have great f …

WELCOME We're looking for other folks who, like us, have been bitten by the 'memoir bug' and would benefit from the outlet and support offered by a writing circle. Our group meets in the East Bay -- right now in South Berkeley -- twice a month.  We start with a prompt (or jump-off) exercise, then read work we’ve brought and give each other feedback. We welcome the interest of anyone who is willing to:  (1) Attend each of the sessions between now and June 3rd.  (2) Begin writing, if you haven't a …

Democracy at it's best is a participatory endeavor that works to improve our social contract. It works best when interested parties work together in good faith to address mutually identified problems. It works best when a responsible fourth estate acts as a watchdog toward those in power to maintain a well-informed, accurately informed citizenry. For a number of years, as a society, we have struggled to maintain democracy at it's best. Media has neglected its watchdog role in favor of attemp …

Libertarians tend to be voracious readers and learners. Now there is a Libertarian Book Club in the South Bay for us. There are so many great philosophy, economics, public policy books - both fiction and non-fiction out there. Let the reading, learning and discussions begin.

… When you have multiple founders, esprit de corps binds them together in a way that seems to violate conservation laws. Each thinks "I can't let my friends down." This is one of the most powerful forces in human nature, and it's missing when there's just one founder. So, the objectives for our group would be: Peers to brainstorm Talk you out of stupid decisions To cheer you up when things go wrong I recently attended Microconf 2011.  MicroConf is a two-day conference focused on self-funded and …

From the founder: Upon graduation, I promised myself I would never wear a suit, nor would I work in an office. Fate threw me suited up into an office for seven years. This was my tour of duty in the illusory world of hierarchical control, greed, fear and systemic hypnosis. I was living a half-life, and no-one was more aware of this fact than I was. There were, of course, moments of stunning humanity in my time in “the office” working as a financial adviser and all round salesman for the corpor …
