Ro Khanna
On April 2, 2013, Khanna announced that he will challenge Mike Honda in California's 17th congressional district in the 2014 elections. Khanna has assembled a campaign team composed of top members of President Obama's re-election team, including Jeremy Bird, Obama's 2012 national field director, and Steve Spinner, one of Obama's top-three fundraisers.
Khanna has been backed by executives at Google, Facebook, Yahoo and other tech companies, and by the editorial boards of the San Jose Mercury News, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Oakland Tribune, and the Contra Costa Times.
A lawsuit was filed before Sacramento county Superior Court, alleging Khanna had recruited candidates to enter the race as Republicans to split the Republican vote three ways, effectively diluting votes that would otherwise be cast in favor of Vanila Singh. On March 28, 2014, the Court disqualified one of the candidates, but did not find Khanna responsible in connection with the disqualification.
“In the operating room, doctors must quickly make life and death decisions working together in the best interest of their patients. We need a similar approach in Congress. Let's put aside petty politics and work together to support job creation, improve healthcare, and restore fiscal responsibility - in the best interest of the people.” - Vanila Singh, MD.

Democratic donors who were invited to the San Francisco event, at the Four Seasons Hotel on Market Street, said they had initially been asked to donate as much as $25,000 to sit down with Obama. One who balked at the price said organizers had offered a cut-rate deal of as little as $5,000.
"Five-thousand dollars to sit down with the president for an hour? That's usually what it costs for a photo of you and your whole family" with Obama, said the invitee, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Obama is turning again and again to the Bay Area to raise money - his last visit was less than three months ago - in part because of a U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down limits on donors' overall campaign contributions, Democratic insiders said.

Once Google, Facebook, Cisco and others offered tools for political leaders. They provided fund for favorite political leaders and used to stay away from politics.
But, not any more. Google, Facebook, Cisco and others play active role in politics. They decide who needs to go to Congress and who goes to White House.
Earlier, when a CEO retires, he or she started a foundation; used to go around the world; and support development of education and health.
Nowadays, when a CEO retires, she or he wants to go to Washington.
Entire team from Silicon Valley is getting ready to go to Washington.
Just like in India, a team from Gujarat went to Delhi.

Great Britain.
Once it was great; then it lost all its greatness and now it is Ordinary Britain.
In 1940, Winston Churchill took Great Britain to war and got the victory.
In 1945, Winston Churchill lost the general election.
In 1945, Clement Attlee came to power.
Clement Attlee lost the greatness of the Britain and brought down to an ordinary level.
Now, United States of America has been going through the same cycle.
Between 2000 - 2008, George Bush took USA to many wars.
Since 2008, Barack Obama has been in power.
In Barack Obama's presidency, United States of America is losing its greatness.

In Ukraine, a civil flight was shot.
In Gaza, everything is burning.
In Iraq, so much of chaos and confusion.
Here, the President is busy in Fund Raising for a fellow democrat, Mike Honda.
Mike Honda is a traditional politician.
Ro Khanna is now challenging Mike Honda.
Ro Khanna is not only challenging Mike Honda; but also Barack Obama.
The truth is, Google, Facebook, Cisco and others are challenging all the traditional politicians.
When Eric Schmidt, Sheryl Sandberg and John Chambers go to Washington, there will be a lot of openings in the Silicon Valley for senior leadership positions.
Perhaps, all those political leaders of Washington could apply for the top executive postions here in the Bay Area. In 2016, Barack Obama may be the CEO of Google. Let them enjoy Sunny California.
