Das Williams walks the walk...AND

works the work.

Das Williams Yesterday I did a " day (home health care) provider's shoes". They do tough work for very little money, and the Governor wants the program cut in half, and the elderly and disabled on the street or in institutions that don't have the capacity for them. Thank you Bonnie for teaching me about you and Alan!

DAS WILLIAMS and a day on the campaign trail

with his DASsome volunteers and staff!

Das Williams is running a clean campaign.

Das Williams knows that by running a clean campaign, he honors and respects the voters, and their intelligence. Das signed a pledge to "keep it clean" and he is sticking to his word. While his opponent is sending out false hit pieces, trying to gin up fear and distrust, Das is showing his commitment to the voters of the 35th State Assembly District by continuing to run a positive campaign.

Keeping it positive.

Running on his merits.

Keeping his word.

NOW THAT'S INTEGRITY THAT YOU CAN BELIEVE IN.

can transport you to amazing places....to do amazing things....to meet amazing people.

Inspired by the first democratic elections in South Africa while in his late teens, Das traveled to South Africa to work for Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress. During that time, he witnessed the masses of people engaged in civic action and experienced the transformational power of grassroots political movements. - UCSB Bren School Deans Council

Who says one politican and some believers can't make a difference?

Case in point, Senator Gaylord Nelson and some folks who thought that Earth was pretty cool.

One U.S. senator and a core of young organizers turned April 22, 1970, into the day the environmental movement was born.

On that day, 20 million Americans in 2,000 communities and 10,000 schools planted trees, cleaned up parks, buried cars in mock graves, marched, listened to speeches and protested how humans were messing up their world.

....Earth Day was the brainchild of Sen. Gaylord Nelson, a Wisconsin Democrat, who came up with the idea of a national teach-in on the environment after 3 million gallons of oil spilled across the beaches of Santa Barbara, Calif., and killed 10,000 seabirds in January 1969.

Nelson's idea gave birth to a green movement and a "green generation" that would be as powerful as the industrial revolution in shaping the future of civilization. - Cleveland.com

Celebrate Senator Nelson's idea today...and everyday.
