San Francisco Chronicle Reporter Joe Garofoli writes on his political blog that CA Assembly Candidate Josh Becker was pulling the cord for the Sabbath Manifesto’s National Day of Unplugging.
“Crowbarring a politician away from his phone/Blackberry is harder than prying a Democrat from Walter Shorenstein’s wallet. Yet at 7:20 p.m. Friday, Josh Becker, candidate for the 21st Assembly district, will hand over his Blackberry and his new iPhone to his campaign manager. He will swear off technology — no Facebook, no Tweeting — until sundown Saturday.”
“Becker’s unplugging won’t happen a second sooner than sundown Friday because there couldn’t be a worse day — politically — for him to unplug. On Saturday morning, Democratic Party delegates from his nook of the state will gather in Los Altos to decide who to endorse in the Democratic primary.”
“Snagging that endorsement could be a HUGE boon to a first-time candidate like him. But during the time that he would be calling, texting and F-booking delegates to the brink of being a noodge, the clean energy entrepreneur will be e-free.”
