As I wrote below, sorry for the last-minute notice, but the Entertainment Commission is holding an important hearing tonight on a potentially major assault on civil liberties in San Francisco. I encourage everyone who can come out to do so. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has even weighed in with a public warning "Don't Turn SF Into A Police State" ( http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/04/eff-san-francisco-entertainment-commission-don-t): *"The city of San Francisco has a long history of political activism and cultural diversity, which could be in danger if the San Francisco Entertainment Commission has their way. The Electronic Frontier Foundation joined civil liberties and privacy groups in criticizing a proposal from the San Francisco Entertainment Commission that would require all venues with an occupancy of over 100 people to record the faces of all patrons and employees and scan their ID’s for storage in a database which they must hand over to law enforcement on request. If adopted, these rules would pose a grave threat to the rights of freedom of association, due process, and privacy in San Francisco."* If you can't come out, please write to [email protected] and let them know that you oppose this assault on freedom!

This is real police-state type stuff, folks -- the LPSF should be opposing it for sure. I'm going to go down there and represent. If you can't make it but have cable TV, they may be broadcasting it (now or later?) on Channel 29 (the public affairs channel), so you may still have a chance to get up to speed on the issue, or perhaps even videotape my public comments. By the way, *does* anybody in our local party have the ability to videotape stuff off broadcast and/or cable TV? If we don't have volunteer capability at present, this is something I'd be willing to vote to spend LPSF funds to pay for (maybe not paying for cable each month, but buying somebody who's home a lot and can do taping a VCR). We never know when we may be on the news, etc., and it would be very nice to have access to that kind of content to be able to put it on the LPSF website, without the work and expense of having to contact media outlets and buy the footage from them.
