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.ht... 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!
