[SFGP Volunteers] Urgent! Please take 5 minutes to help the Green Party defeat Prop. 14!
by John-Marc Chandonia 19 May '10

19 May '10

Dear Greens, Absentee voting has now started for the June election, so *it's time for us to be flooding the newspapers with letters opposing Prop. 14!* (Note: If you would like some more info about why the Green Party is opposing Prop. 14, please see the state party website, at: http://cagreens.org/erwg/Prop14/ and/or www.StopTopTwo.org <http://www.stoptoptwo.org/> ). Fortunately, GreenChange.org <http://greenchange.org/> has created a wonderful webpage, at: http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/1488/t/338/letter/?letter_KEY=632 ) -- *this webpage makes it extremely easy for you to compose a letter to the editor* opposing Prop. 14! You first enter your zip code, and you then choose a nearby newspaper where you'd like to send your letter to. Then you "point and click" on sentences or paragraphs to compose your letter, and you then fill in your name and address (for the newspaper to receive that info), and then you send your letter off. You can actually compose a letter in just 5 minutes using this webpage! So, *PLEASE take 5 minutes within the next couple of days to send in a letter!* (And of course, if you have additional time during the coming week, please send in 2, 4, or more letters -- in fact, once you get used to it, I think that it's really quite fun to use!). So SERIOUSLY EVERYONE, we genuinely need for ALL GREENS to help us send in LOTS of letters! (Again, the webpage is at: http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/1488/t/338/letter/?letter_KEY=632 -- *if possible, please check it out now!*). The future of the Green Party is literally at stake! Thank you very much!, Kendra Gonzales Campaigns and Candidates Working Group co-coordinator Green Party of California

17 May '10

Dear SF Green Party Volunteers, This is my second attempt to reach most of you; if you responded the first time, please ignore this message. For everybody else, please respond, even if you just want to let us know you want off the list. Also, for those of you interested in statewide campaigns, there is an event for Laura Wells' campaign for governor tonight: http://www.sfgreenparty.org/events/events-itemfromhome.psp?idx=1942 In order to help us build the party this summer and increase our influence in the 2010 elections, the County Council recently hired Michelle Monares as a part-time volunteer coordinator. Please email us back to let us know more details of what kind of volunteer work you would like to do. For example, this summer we'll need people to: 1) Help us staff a booth at street fairs and other events, to register more Greens and increase our visibility. 2) Fundraise by calling registered Greens. 3) Help with the design of our slate card and/or Voter Guide. 4) Hand out slate cards/voter guides prior to elections. 5) Lobby elected officials to promote Green issues. 6) Plan events (parties, fundraisers, etc). 7) Other--what whould you like to do? Michelle or one of the CC members will help you schedule specific times/events to volunteer at, depending on what type of work you would like to do. If you don't reply to let us know whether you can still help us out, Michelle will call you if we have your number. If we can't reach you after several attempts, we'll assume you're no longer interested and remove you from the list. However, I hope you ARE still able to help us out, and I look forward to seeing you all this summer! Thanks, JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc(a)sfgreens.org) http://sfgreens.org/

----- Forwarded message from Greg Jan <gregjan4(a)yahoo.com> ----- Dear Greens, KQED radio (88.5 am) will have a debate about Prop. 14 tomorrow (Monday) morning, from 9:00 to 10:00 am. For the last half of the show, starting around 9:30 am, they will be taking call-ins. It's important that people opposed to Prop. 14 get into the queue to ask questions when they open up the phone lines, so please pay attention so you can get the on-air phone number that they will be giving out (probably between 9:15 and 9:25 am)! The "Yes" side will (apparently) be represented by Lieutenant Governor Abel Maldonado, and the "No" side will (apparently) be represented by Richanrd Winger, of Ballot Access News. If you'd like to get some additional info about Prop. 14, please see http://cagreens.org/erwg/Prop14/ and/or http://www.stoptoptwo.org/ Thank you!, Greg Jan Green Party of Alameda County
