19 Oct '12

Dear Greens, We've finished making all our endorsements--full explanations of all our local, state, and national endorsements are posted on our website: http://sfgreenparty.org/endorsements/39-november-2012-endorsements We are mailing our Voter Guide next week; if you can make a contribution to help with printing and mailing, please go to the URL below to donate: http://sfgreenparty.org/9-donations/34-donate-online *===========================* Watch the expanded Presidential debates on our website: Although Greens and other non-corporate parties have been shut out of the presidential debates this year, Democracy Now! has been expanding the debates to include Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala, along with other smaller party candidates. Jill Stein was especially impressive in the second debate after having been arrested (along with Cheri Honkala) and handcuffed to a chair for 8 hours the night before by thugs hired by the Democratic and Republican parties! Jill Stein also debated Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party (who skipped the first 2 debates on Democracy Now!) one on one, in a forum sponsored by the Independent Voter Network. All the expanded debates are linked here: http://sfgreenparty.org/10-campaigns/44-watch-the-expanded-presidential-deb… *===========================* Congratulations to the four Supervisors who thwarted the City Family's attempt to illegally fire Sheriff Mirkarimi: Christina Olague (D5), David Campos (D9), John Avalos (D11), and Jane Kim (D6). A cartoon (authored by Joe Luby, republished with permission from CitiReport.com) on our website illustrates a small part of the web of corruption within our City government.

Dear Greens, Please join us today for the anti-war rally at the Civic Center at noon! Sandra Decker and Barry Hermanson will have a Green Party banner and will meet by the top of the BART escalator at Market and Powell. U.S. death toll passes 2,000 as 11th anniversary of longest war in U.S. history nears, hundreds of thousands of Afghans killed & wounded, millions displaced. San Francisco Rally: Sat. Oct. 6, 12 Noon, Powell & Market Sts. March: 1 pm to Grand Hyatt Hotel, Sutter & Stockton Sts. in solidarity with Local 2 workers. Following the march: Join the Arab Community & Cultural Center Festival in Union Square. *===========================* We've finished making all our endorsements--local, state, and national endorsements are all posted here: http://sfgreenparty.org/endorsements/39-november-2012-endorsements Look for full text of our endorsements in about a week. *===========================* Watch the expanded Presidential debate on our website: The Democratic and Republican parties have conspired for years to shut all other voices out of their Budweiser sponsored-Presidential debates. This year, Democracy Now expanded the debate by splicing in real-time footage of the Green Party's Jill Stein and Justice Party's Rocky Anderson as they responded to the same questions as the two Wall Street candidates. The Libertarian candidate was also invited to participate, but declined. Watch the complete debate on our website, as Jill Stein demolishes Romney for a second time in her political career: http://sfgreenparty.org/10-campaigns/44-watch-the-expanded-presidential-deb… *===========================* The Commonwealth Club is sponsoring two events that may be of interest to Green Party members. The first, called "Energy and the Election<http://bit.ly/Q174bt>," will take place on Tuesday, October 9th at 6pm. We will explore the important energy issues in this election and the political and energy choices facing the country. The second event, called "Tear Down That Dam?<http://bit.ly/Nt1dMg>" will take place on Monday, October 15th at 6pm. A measure on the San Francisco ballot will ask voters to consider a plan that could result in the draining of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Climate One will host panelists on both sides of the debate to discuss this and other regional water issues. (Note that the Green Party did not reach consensus on supporting or opposing Prop F, the ballot measure discussed above) *===========================* California voters can now register Green online, without mailing anything in! https://rtv.sos.ca.gov/elections/register-to-vote/ People can register online up until October 22 for the upcoming election. *===========================* Donate online! We recently switched to a new payment processor, which makes it easier to donate securely online, while keeping more of our donations going to help our cause rather than ending up in the hands of Wall Street. More info is on our website: http://sfgreenparty.org/9-donations/34-donate-online *===========================* Paid contractor wanted: SF Green Party Fundraiser/Volunteer Coordinator (a part time independent contractor (1099) position): http://sfgreenparty.org/help-wanted *=========================== Join our updated Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_62534706497&ap=1 *=========================== To submit events for our newsletter, please email a short blurb to news(a)sfgreens.org.
