About the DAA
The Democratic Alliance for Action was founded in 1994 and chartered by the Los Angeles County Democratic Party DAA is the only Democratic Club in the Santa Clarita Valley. Together, DAA members share goals and purposes consistent with the Democratic Party platform. Our monthly meetings provide a place for Democrats to meet, make friends, and gain information on issues of local, national, and international importance.
Because “action” is such an important tradition in the club, we consider voter registration a priority, opening a headquarters an imperative, and feeding the homeless and other charitable works an essential opportunity to serve the community.
COMMENT POLICY: We welcome comments from individuals and businesses. All comments are moderated. Comments are subject to rejection if they are vulgar, combative, or in poor taste.
REAL NAMES ONLY: All posters must use their real individual or business name. This applies equally to Twitter account holders who use a nickname.
Why are you trying to change the area? Don’t like it? Leave and go live in Democract stronghold. Who asked you or forced you live here? If I made a choice to live somewhere is because I think highly of the area that I am moving to and grateful to the people that run such an orderly town. I definitely want them to stay in power and keep this greatness going.
Thank you for being so inviting. Your rudeness has convinced me that this area needs an upgrade and now I plan to work for those who will do that. Thanks for the push.
I’ve attended Council Meetings along with many other Democrats, these honorees included, who have urged and in many cases pushed our City Council to do many of the things we now enjoy and to keep it from becoming, as you say, another Panorama City! If the Council had their way, we would have the “Electronic Billboards, a Recycling Center on Sierra Hwy, mining at CEMEX. There are many more issues we have fought against to keep our Valley from Polluters and from big Corporations that would indeed destroy the quality of life as you now enjoy it! Come to those meetings and learn for yourself who are the protectors of Santa Clarita!
Congratulations to all you hard working Honorees, keep up the hard work!
Really, I go to the panorama city for my kaiser appointments and I would never want to live there. I don’t know why you came here to live. Please explain. You came from one blue sector to another? Panorama city is NOT blue sector. Why not move to red sector where you like? Why here?
