BECOME A SUSTAINER FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO GREEN PARTY! <br><br>
The San Francisco Green Party is engaged in numerous financially
intensive activities/events, including our first-ever election newspaper
with the SFGP's candidate and proposition endorsements for the recent
November election. We distributed the paper to every registered
Green in San Francisco, which set us back thousands of dollars in
mailing, production and printing costs. Please help in
our fundraising efforts by becoming a Green Party sustainer, or making a
one-time donation! <br><br>
Your generous contributions now will help us finish the year on strong
financial footing and get a jump-start on the 2008 elections.
Please help us remain solvent by donating now!
