Sad news out of southern California today…

Citing a recent diagnosis of a serious health problem, former California Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez said Saturday he is dropping out of the race to replace U.S. Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles).

"I've got to focus on my health right now," Pérez said in an interview. "But it was a very hard decision."

I was so pleased to see Pérez run for this seat. I thought it was a perfect fit after Pérez lost to Betty Yee for the California Controller position. I really hope he will be okay and beats whatever he is facing.

See the LA Times article for more information…

Hello again Kossacks! We are getting close to our fundraising goal for Kossack Scottie Thomaston, formerly known by the handle indiemcemopants. As I let you know in my previous post on Sunday, Scottie was recently hospitalized after developing pressure sores that led to sepsis.

I created a fundraiser on YouCaring.com and would love any help you can give. Even if it is just a share, a rec and a tip! It all helps.

You can read more about his story and current situation here...

I have created a YouCaring page for him, if you could please share among your networks, give this post a tip and a rec and add some well wishes below for Scottie I know he would appreciate hearing from you.

Also, if you can spare any funds and make a donation that would be awesome.

It's always sad to me to learn of someone passing away that I would have liked to have known about and promoted as a hero. On October 23, 2014, at the age of 85, Bernard Mayes died. Mr Mayes was the founder of the first suicide prevention hotline in the United States and first chairman of NPR (National Public Radio)
