SHE’S RUNNING

Now it gets interesting…

My friends,

As you may have noticed, I’ve taken two weeks off from writing my column.

I have spent this time meeting with community leaders and the activists

who started runariannarun.com and doing a lot of thinking — and tossing

and turning — about whether I should run for Governor of California in

the upcoming recall election.

During this time, I’ve received many wonderful e-mails from so many of you

urging me to run. Well, tomorrow morning at 10:30am at A Place Called

Home in South Central Los Angeles (a center for at-risk children I‚m on

the board of; directions below), I’ll be announcing my decision.

You’ve been reading every week my outrage at the state of our politics,

and I would love it if you could be there to join me as I make the leap

from analysis to action — from columnist to candidate.

For those of you who are not in Los Angeles, I ask you to be with me in

spirit and I hope I can rely on your support and counsel in the weeks to

come.

Hope to see you there,

Arianna
