I've been living in the Sebastopol/Graton area for most of my life, and I'm just now wanting to get more involved in the politics and decision making that goes on here. The problem is that I don't know how.
What can someone like me do to get more involved?

The first step is to become informed. And a great way to do that is at the just-organized Candidates Night at the Sebastopol Community Center on Sunday Oct 5. The 4 Sebastopol City Council candidates will debate first, followed by a break and then the two 5th District County Supervisors will go. This is event is free and sponsored by WaccoBB.net, The Sonoma West Times & News, and the Sebastopol Area Chamber of Commerce, with additional support from KRCB-FM.
I'll be posting more about this next week.

Thank you for letting me know. I am going to mark my calendar so I don't miss it.
Here's the link to the site for the campaign i think is the most important in
electoral politics: www.CAclean.org/join (https://CAclean.org/join). This is the "clean money" campaign
that gives us a chance to change this plutocracy into a democracy.

Bravo! I concur with the suggestion. Publicly financed campaigns are a proven way to break the corporate stranglehold on our political process and also the "duopoly" stranglehold of the two "major" political parties. It's a worthwhile investment of your time and money.

If you want to become involved in the Democratic presidential campaign or county and local races, visit the new Democratic Headquarters in Santa Rosa at 2nd & D Streets.
We always need new faces and new voices.
