The Rag Has Reached 80% of Our Fundraising Goal in Less than 3 Days

Incredible. In less than 3 days, the OB Rag fundraising campaign has reached 80% of our goal of $3,000! As of this writing, we've received donations totaling $2,370. Somebody likes us, despite our vocal detractors. Here's 13 Reasons to Support the OB Rag:

1. Our Progressive Politics: we stand for liberty and democracy and for a woman's right to choose. We are diametrically opposed to Trump's banana republic and against his authoritarianism -- which include plans for the end of the Constitution and the Rule of Law. We're for racial and gender equality.
2. We Oppose the Direction that San Diego Is Going: the current city leadership is taking us down the wrong road in its imposition of un-democratically-forced rules that threaten our neighborhoods. We stand for more affordable housing, renters' rights and an end to the corporate ownership of our housing stock. We also find it unacceptable that large campaign donors can reap the award of public land and development projects.
3. Short Term Vacation Rentals: The OB Rag for years has been at the forefront of this issue, with reports and analysis of the devastating effects of short term vacation rentals on Ocean Beach and other beach and coastal neighborhoods; we have highlighted efforts by the OB Planning Board to lobby against them; we have helped educate and mobilize local residents to oppose the short term rentals taking over sections of the village.
4. We Support the 30-Foot Coastal Height Limit and are against efforts to undermine the will of the people; we were instrumental in creating the group "Keep the Coast 30" aligning with like-minded individuals and groups in the beach communities. We're faced with the constant pressure of developments that try to skirt this citizen-imposed rule.
