<b><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Greentings,</span></b><br>It's a great time to be a Green! The political insiders keep trying to paint us as done, but we continue to thrive! 88 new Greens were registered at Pride this year! Record-setting numbers we haven't seen since 2003 during the lead-up to the war! Now's the time to get involved!<br>
<br><b>Green Party Endorsement Meetings</b><br><br>The most important monthly meetings of the year are coming up in July<br>and August, when we make our endorsements. Both meetings will take<br>place from 7-9 pm at the LGBT Community Center, 1800 Market Street, in<br>
room 301. We will discuss and make endorsements on ballot initiatives<br>on Wednesday July 28, and we'll hold a candidate forum and make<br>decisions on those contests on Wednesday August 25. (We've already<br>endorsed NO on the proposed law against sitting down on public<br>
sidewalks, and NO on the proposition barring local officials from<br>participating in party politics.)<br><br>Candidates running for Supervisor, School Board, or College Board will<br>receive our questionnaire just after the filing deadline, and answers<br>
will be posted on our website. Candidates for these offices who<br>return our questionnaire, as well as people running for other offices,<br>will be invited to speak at our forum and seek our endorsement.<br><br>All Green Party meetings and forums are open to the public.<br>
Registered Greens who volunteer with us or otherwise work to further<br>the goals of the party are fully empowered to help make our decisions.<br>If you want to volunteer prior to our August meeting, contact the<br>County Council by emailing <a href="mailto:cc@sfgreens.org">cc@sfgreens.org</a>.<br>

<br>============================<br><br><b>Help Elect another Green Supervisor (in Mendocino)</b><br><br>A number of you are probably familiar with former U.S. Congressman Dan<br>Hamburg, who was the Green Party of California's first candidate for<br>
Governor, in 1998. This year, Dan is running for a seat on the<br>Mendocino County Board of Supervisors, and if he wins, he will become<br>one of the most prominent elected Greens in the country!<br><br>Dan did come in first out of four candidates in the recent June<br>
election, but he didn't receive the required 51% to avoid a runoff.<br>He is now asking for our assistance -- so please make a contribution<br>ASAP by:<br><br>1) sending a check to: Dan Hamburg for Supervisor 2010, Post Office<br>
Box 111, Point Arena, CA 95468. Or,<br><br>2) go to Dan's campaign website ( <a href="http://www.votehamburg5.org">www.votehamburg5.org</a> ) and donate by<br>credit card.<br><br>Thank you very much for helping out!<br>
