Questions 5 and 6 ("Right of Return" and divestment) lost handily in Somerville in last week's vote. But Ron Francis's Somerville Divestment Project is still hard at work. You see, you only need 50 signatures and you, too, can force the board of aldermen to meet.
Today's the big day, and at 6:45, the board of aldermen will be meeting at City Hall at the behest of Ron's SDP.
Here's the robo call that Somerville residents have been receiving, coming in from Ron Francis's phone number (hear it and believe it -- it's short):
Apparently, community activism means never taking no for an answer, as well as bugging the shit out of people at home. My advice: Go to City Hall and tell the SDP to leave you the hell alone, and tell the aldermen you support them telling the SDP to take a hike.

I guess he didn't robo-call the whole city, because I didn't get such a message in my voice mail. If you hear what happened at the meeting, let us know.
