You're there and I'm here. My time and energies are devoted to improvement projects in my own backyard (literally - my lawn has been giving me trouble, and I got a $150 water bill for June that said I used 25,000 gallons of water. Apparently, there's a leak in my sprinkler system.).
I would think the SF mint deserves at least as much care as the Lawrence Welk home. It's not a R or D issue (I'm never sure about the Greens). Set up a nonprofit Save the Mint! foundation. Have some kickin' (free for you!) fundraisers. All CA politicians will contribute their name to your effort, if only to get their mugs on your PSA commercials, which the local stations will run for free. Distinguished law firms will draft legislation for you pro bono, which all of the CA congressional delegation will present as a united front. It's your way of becoming a Community Leader.
