by Announcement list for SF Green Party, updated weekly 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Dear Greens, Sorry about the duplicate message--the previous one was a repeat of last week's. We're planning to start making the easy endorsements for November (state propositions) at our monthly meeting this Wednesday, 6/27. We're meeting at El Cafetazo, 3087 16th St, between Mission and Valencia, from 7-9 pm. There are 11 initiatives that have qualified so far, plus we'll be considering the Restore Hetch Hetchy measure by request. The propositions that have already qualified for November are online (with full text) here: http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ballot-measures/qualified-ballot-measures.h… In summary, there's the "safe clean reliable water" act, an anti-union measure,yet another attempt to legislate car insurance regulations, yet another try at changing redistricting, a ban on the death penalty, reform of "3 strikes," a human trafficking measure, another business tax reform, a measure requiring GMO labeling (which the Green Party has already endorsed), and two competing taxes that claim to support education and early childhood development. We'll have a presenter from the Restore Hetch Hetchy campaign, so please come to ask questions. We're going to try to make endorsements on as many of the other state props as we can, although we may come back later for some of the more difficult ones. Please try to read as many as possible (see the website above) so we can decide what points to make in our endorsements. We're also going to hold a discussion of what kinds of outreach we should do for the November 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.

If you can join us at our booth at the Civic Center this weekend (corner of Larkin and Grove), please email cc(a)sfgreens.org. We need people from 9-6 both Saturday and Sunday, and especially need volunteers to help us set up and take down the booth. *===========================* We're planning to start making the easy endorsements for November (state propositions) at our monthly meeting next Wednesday. The meeting location is not decided yet, but look for an update on the Events section of our website, as well as another newsletter early next week: http://sfgreenparty.org/events2 *===========================* Are you a San Francisco Green voter who was unable to vote for President in the June primary? Due to poor ballot design, about 25-30% fewer Greens found the spot to vote for President in San Francisco, compared to Greens who voted in other counties in California. (The same problem affected other parties as well, but the Green presidential primary is poorly covered in the media, so some Greens aren't aware we are running candidates.) If you were one of the voters affected, contact us at cc(a)sfgreens.org, since we're planning to formally complain to the SF Department of Elections. *===========================* Donate online!

Greenzine - election day!
by Announcement list for SF Green Party, updated weekly 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Dear Greens, This is expected to be a low-turnout election, but there are a few important races that are expected to be close! Please remember to vote this Tuesday. The SF Green Party has made the following endorsements for the election. A longer explanation of the reasoning behind each of these endorsements is available on our website: http://sfgreenparty.org/10-campaigns/38-june-2012-endorsements Prop A (garbage contract) - No Prop B (Coit tower) - Yes Prop 28 (term limit reform) - Yes Prop 29 (cigarette tax) - Yes Congress, CD12 - Barry Hermanson (Green Party) President - we generally do not make endorsements in a contested Green Party primary; view the presidential debate and decide for yourself: http://sfgreenparty.org/10-campaigns/38-june-2012-endorsements Other offices - we generally do not endorse non-Greens in primaries, although we may make endorsements for the general election. *===========================* Join us at Barry Hermanson's house on election night. When: after the polls close, 8 pm - ? Where: 2467 28th Ave (at Taraval), SF Barry is opening his home to watch the election results come in after the polls close Tuesday evening. If you are able to stop by, please bring something (food/drink) to share. *===========================* Donate online!
