Ground zero for Democrats in San Mateo County is at 650 El Camino Real in Belmont.

With both parties' national conventions taking place over the next two weeks, the campaign season is in full swing and the Belmont headquarters will be abuzz with activity.

Volunteers at the San Mateo County Democratic Headquarters will be making phone calls, walking precincts and coordinating a variety of events for local and national candidates, including the Charlotte By the Bay event to view the Democratic National Convention.

In addition to Obama/Biden information, buttons, bumper stickers, signs and memorabilia, the SMC Democratic Party Headquarters also has information on propositions and local candidates on the November ballot, including school district and special district candidates.

To see a full schedule of events go to www.sanmateodemocrats.org.

The San Mateo County Democratic Party Headquarters is open daily through the Nov. 6 Presidential Election.

(Face it, Americans like to have choices!). With no drive-through, perhaps it will be better than the average suburban stores along the El Camino. As for another chain restaurant in Half Moon Bay...What did you expect? Demographics will continue to dictate that we can still expect to keep our "Fast-Food-Free-Zone" between Linda Mar and HMB while "City Councils or Planning Departments in the Cities will attract them....for their tax base.

Not sure about KFC ... we already have a fast food chicken place at Popeyes so we certainly don't need another.

I don't own a dog now but empathize with the dog owners who have been deprived of the right to…Read More allow their dogs to run free in the national recreation area that we as taxpayers own. As a taxpayer, I want to know the rationale for this policy. If it is to protect horses from being frightened by dogs what is the basis for that? How many horses use the open space? It appears that dozens of people who have been able to enjoy walking with their dogs in the open space adjoining their neighborhood are now being grossly inconvenienced because some faceless bureaucrats are creating rules that may have no basis in reality.

Most dogs and horses can get along fine, if they have the opportunity to be socialized to each…Read More other. If dogs never get to see horses, or vice versa, then there is a startle/fear response, and each will respond according to its temperament. Remove all opportunities for this socialization, as GGNRA wants to do, and there will be more problems. Apparently GGNRA has even ordered stable owners not to allow equestrians to bring their dogs to the stable any more, which is grossly unfair to all concerned. GGNRA just hates dogs, and their policies have been written accordingly. It is unfathomable that here on the Coastside, surrounded by miles of open space, there is no legal area except one small dog park, for dog owners to walk with their companions off leash. Horses, bicycles and people have full access, but dog owners very limited access, and no access for off leash exercising. Rancho territory is 6 1/2 square miles. Surely there is enough room for all recreation! It's our tax money, too, but we're being denied use of the space we own.
