ELECT A GREEN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE USING THE IRV MODEL<br>
Electoral Reform Working Group (California Greens) is sponsoring an
online ranked-ballot-voting demonstration -- called Instant Runoff Voting
(IRV) -- using the Green Presidential Primary candidates. The
official election gives you just one choice with your vote. But the
Green Party advocates a ranked-ballot system where you can tell us how
feel about all the candidates by ranking them in order of your
preference.

http://cagreens.org/erwg/irvdemo/pres08.html<br><br>
</a>See how a ranked-ballot election works by participating in our online
demonstration! <br>
The results will be posted on the California Greens website after the
primary. <br><br>

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!
