  1. Great list of endorsers and from the religious community there are an additional 16 or 17 clergy who are not yet included on this list. The total is now 52. Yeah!

  2. Pingback: Measure S: Will it help or hurt the homeless? | Berkeleyside

  3. Please add my name to the list of NO on S. I’d like to donate $25. Where can I send a check, or PayPal, or VISA number, or whatever.
