Meet Fred Klaske. He's running for the Democratic nomination in California's 15th Assembly District.

Klaske -- an avowed supporter of then-Democratic candidate Jerry McNerney -- announced his intention to run for the Democratic nomination in California's 11th Congressional District during the campaign season for the 2006 midterm elections. "Fred Klaske's always in your  corner."

Fred Klaske's CommuteFred Klaske redefined what it means to run an "insurgent campaign." He currently lives in Castro Valley -- outside  the district; yet conveniently close to the campaign headquarters just outside the canyon separating Castro Valley from AD-15.

The office in San Ramon ain't bad, so long as you don't mind all the UPS signs everywhere. (This will be of no solace to The Progressive Connection's babaloo, but Fred Gear, apparently, is tough to come by.)

Fred Klaske is a renaissance man: He's a candidate in the 15th Assembly District and  a delegate from the 18th AD. (Suck on that, Chuck Norris.)

Fred Klaske is a blogging genius:

I was planning in my latest eblast that went out today to discuss the ongoing strike by the UAW against GM, but news often happens faster than real life ... [emphasis added]

And when it comes to the official Fred Klaske for Assembly blog, he wants you to know...

... that with my busy schedule, I won't be able to post here very often ...

... but to be sure to...

... stop by often.

So when you are continuously visiting Fred's infrequently updated blog, be sure to read posts that you've read once already because it is going to take at least two read throughs to fully understand Fred's literary awesomeness.

More Fred facts on the flip...

Did you know that the California Energy Commission's November 2005 Integrated Energy Policy Report  is on Fred's list of favorite books?

Fred Klaske is a magician: he can make your wallets and purses talk -- you just have to give him all of their contents first -- for the children.

There is no bar set too high, unless of course, Fred Klaske came up with the parameters.

Word has it that the wind turbines at the Altamont Pass are powered solely by Fred Klaske "listening" tours.

Fred Klaske is a self-starter -- even if that means someone has to make him stop.

All of this may sound familiar. You're wondering, could he be? Yes, he is the  Fred Klaske that infamously wrote in an e-mail to potential supporters the following... (Text shown as it appeared.):

Now, more than ever -- we need your help to make this
campaign a total success and give it
the momentum it needs to push this bus over the funding hill and get it
rolling non-stop (and non-stoppable) to a victory in the
primary for all the things you and I care so deeply
about, and want to change for the better & mdash
please stop for a moment, right now, and contribute
something
today, either on-line, or if
you want to use a check, click
here for the address, but please add your
actions
to your concern and your voice -- act
now   with a
contribution of any size --
together, let's both of us make hope happen!

Legend has it that when Elie Wiesel said...

I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings. [emphasis added]

... Fred Klaske replied, "You're welcome."

Guess, even Jim Ross feared a ride on Fred's unstoppable bus.

To date Fred has announce plans to run for out of district seats in Congress and the state Assembly. What's next?

A run for Governor of Nevada in 2010?



i hate to kick him while he's down (4.00 / 1)
but his website is pretty strange as well. The introductory video is pretty, well, unique. From what you've said I guess it's a pretty fair representation of what he's like
