Mailing and printing this newspaper will cost thousands of dollars. Please help us out in this effort by becoming a Green Party sustainer, or making a one time donation! Your generous contribution now will help us finish the year on strong financial footing and get a jump-start on the 2008 elections. There will be several SF Green Party candidates to support in November 2008. Ross Mirkarimi, for example, will be up for re-election as District 5 Supervisor. Please help us remain solvent by donating now! http://www.sfgreenparty.org/makeadonation/makeadonation.html Volunteers Needed - Contact cc(a)sfgreens.org or <mailto:susan_e_vaughan@yahoo.com>susan_e_vaughan(a)yahoo.com City Hall is seeking members for: Peak Oil Preparedness Task Force, <http://www.sfgov.org/site/bdsupvrs_page.asp?id=64788>http://www.sfgov.org/site/bdsupvrs_page.asp?id=64788 LAFCo: http://www.sfgov.org/site/bdsupvrs_page.asp?id=36743 Thank you for your on-going support!
