Greenzine: 1-week countdown party next Tuesday at Madrone
by Announcement list for SF Green Party, updated weekly 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Dear Greens, Celebrate the 1 week countdown to the election with the Green Party! Instead of our regular monthly meeting, we'll be at Madrone Lounge (500 Divisadero St on the corner of Fell) on Tuesday night (10/26) from 7-9 to celebrate the release of our 2010 Voter Guide. This year marks the 3rd edition of our election newspaper, and is our largest mailing to date at 20,000 copies. We also printed another 5,000 copies to hand out. Getting these distributed is key to help elect our endorsed candidates in swing supervisorial districts as well as citywide races. We need volunteers to disribute these at BART and Muni stops and college campuses, and to leave a few at coffee shops. If you can help, please stop by our launch party to pick some up! We hope you'll volunteer for one or more of our endorsed candidates, and pass out a few copies of our Voter Guide at the same time. We're focusing on key supervisorial races in Districts 6, 8, and 10, but anywhere you could hand these out would be helpful! We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday night! --- We'll also be tabling at Sunday Streets in the Tenderloin this Sunday, 10/24. Look for our table at the Civic Center. --- We're especially proud of our gubernatorial candidate, Laura Wells. Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman not only refuse to debate her, they had her arrested just for being in the audience at the latest "debate" even though she had a ticket! This is what plutocracy looks like.

SFGP Greenzine: Three Weeks Till the Election, Time to Turn up the Heat
by Announcement list for SF Green Party, updated weekly 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

*Greentings,* We've made our picks <http://www.sfgreenparty.org/campaigns/campaigns.psp>, the campaigns are in full swing and approaching the final stages. Now it's time to get involved in any number of worthy contests we've made endorsements in. *See all of our endorsements* with soon-to-be more detailed explanations of our decisions, and highlighted races in our awesome new voter guide and *contact the campaigns which you're most inspired to help:* http://www.sfgreenparty.org/campaigns/campaigns.psp Registered Greens who volunteer with us or otherwise work to further the goals of the party are fully empowered to help make our decisions. If you want to volunteer to distribute some of our printed voter guides, or help with anything else, contact the County Council at: cc(a)sfgreens.org. * *============================ * CA Governor's Debate demonstration with Laura Wells* * Today, October 12th* There is a Gov. debate in October in Marin. Surprise, Laura is not being invited. Most telling is that Laura was told she needed 10% in the polls to be invited, but we have confirmed that none of the polls that were conducted even offered her as an option. People were only asked "Whitman or Brown". * The polls are fixed!* Marin Greens are on top of this, and have planned a protest. * 5:00pm Demonstration starts* 6:30pm Debate begins between Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman At the corner of Acacia Avenue & Grand Avenue in San Rafael, CA *1*. We are meeting at 4:00pm on the corner of Grand and Acacia in San Rafael, CA. If you arrive after 4:00pm, please make your way to campus and find us in the free speech zone near Angelico Hall. *2*. It's going to be hot and sunny tomorrow. Projected high in San Rafael is 91 degrees. Bring water, sunscreen and sunglasses. *3*. Wear Green. Bring signs, cameras and video cameras. *4*. Be flexible about parking because traffic in San Rafael, during rush hour, is always a nightmare. Budget time for your search for parking into your travel plans. *PARKING OPTION 1*. From 101 going North take the Central San Rafael exit and turn right onto Irwin/2nd Street. Take a left onto Union (at the Whole Foods Market) and then a left onto Belle. The far end of Belle is the closest to Dominican, where it intersects with Elm Street (past Coleman Elementary but before Marin Tennis Club). We are hoping that we can park in the school lot since it will be after hours. If not, park on the street. *PARKING OPTION 2*. From 101 (also going North) take Central San Rafael exit and go left onto 3rd Street. Take a right onto Lincoln, drive for a mile or two and take a right onto Linden Lane. This will take you under the freeway. When you emerge from the underpass, you take a hard right/Uturn onto Elm. Drive until you see Belle Ave. It looks like they will have staff directing traffic a block away if you take this route. *PARKING OPTION 3*. If you can't find parking off Belle and Elm, go to Montecito Mall. Park and walk up Grand Avenue to Acacia. 5. For those who want extra online information, read the traffic report for debate night http://www.srpd.org/pr/index.php?article-id=65. Call me if you have additional questions or suggestions. My number is 415-472-2859.
