Hello Watsonville-

We need your help and support and we are asking for donations to be made for our women alarm kits. We ask you and local businesses to help us in standing against violence. Each donor will receive a tax write off receipt along with one of the women alarm kits and TBW shirt.

For more information or to contact us regarding a donation please email to info@tbwnow.org or you can call us at 831-761-2268.

If we stand as a community we will over come the violence and the gangs.

Thank You

Paul Gutierrez

David, ( and anyone else who cares to know facts rather than assumption) : Daniel Dodge had nothing…Read More to do with this flier. The people responsible for this flier are in fact, against not only him, but against every other city council member in regards to the budget and proposed 'cuts' to the same (According to the same flier, Nancy B might be the one exception). Interesting enough is also the fact that nowhere on the flier is there the slightest hint as to who IS responsible. I have read enough of the comments in the Patch to know that many of us feel like "Hey, if you can't even use your real name on things you write, we have to question, who are you REALLY? Some lost chicken feeding on whatever trash you happen by?" If it were Daniel DOdge's idea, why not put his face and number on EVERY flier, rather than just those meant for his district? (BTW, the woman who was passing these out apparently didn't know where the district boundary was, as she gave ME a flier with DD as my councilman, and I'm not in his district. Can you say OOPS?) In any case, my best guess at the moment is SEIU. IF you're at all interested you might try following up in that direction. Cheers! And remember, Measure T is a separate issue.

True, Sylvia. It does not make sense that this would be initiated by Dodge if he is pro-labor. Let…Read More me know if you become aware of any other facts. The investigation continues . . .

No problem David. I have a flier in front of me here....my best 'guess',and I do stress 'guess',…Read More based on what I heard one of the 2 women say to me (who were handing these out and/ or leaving them on doorsteps or doors), and 2- I read the flier several times...... I would look 1st of all to the SEIU.....the flier is targeting budget cuts etc.; this particular flier, at least the one I have starts out, "While our services are at risk..". Measure T is a separate issue from this flier. Also David, you'll notice, or in checking, you'll in all likelihood, find that the fliers in each district have the faces and so-called ph numbers of that district's council member. I say so-called because all it is is the office voicemail, as sweetcakes previously referred to. In any case, it's good to check things out before plunging headlong into something that could prove embarrassing :) <--special note for sweetcakes :)
