Supervisor Tom Ammiano
Born December 15, 1941, Supervisor Ammiano represents District 9, encompassing parts of the Mission District and the Bernal Heights and Portola neighborhoods. He was elected to the city-wide Board in 1994, and re-elected in 1998, when he became Board President. His efforts to have the Board elected by district instead of city-wide succeeded, and, running as a resident of Bernal Heights, he was elected to the new Board in 2000 and 2004.

Supervisor Ammiano grew up in Montclair, New Jersey. He received a bachelor's degree in communications from Seton Hall University in 1963 and a master's degree in special education from San Francisco State University in 1965. He taught English to children in South Vietnam as part of a Quaker program until 1968, when he left the country shortly after the Tet Offensive.

Among his accomplishments on the Board of Supervisors is the creation of the San Francisco Health Care Security Ordinance, which was passed by a unanimous vote of the Board of Supervisors and signed by Mayor Gavin Newsom on August 7, 2006. This makes San Francisco the first city in the nation to provide universal healthcare access. Ammiano is also the main architect of the city's Domestic Partners Ordinance, which provides equal benefits to employees, and their unmarried domestic partners, in companies who do business with the City and County of San Francisco.

Aside from his teaching and political activities, Tom Ammiano has been stand-up comedian since 1980. Sometimes called "The Mother of Gay Comedy," he pioneered open-mike gay comedy at the Valencia Rose cabaret in San Francisco. He was also featured in the Oscar-winning documentary The Times of Harvey Milk.

"Supervisor Ammiano drafting legislation for ID card for illegals"

If this works, then I suggest we draft legislation for ID cards for terrorists in the country, people with outstanding warrants, fugitives, and jail escapees. Hey, they need services too.

"There is a large community who contribute, and there are not a lot of safeguards around their (immigration) status,

Their "status" is "known criminals" and they belong in jail or deported. Liberals grow bolder everyday in their attempt to bring down the US constitution.
