The San Francisco Green Party is engaged in numerous financially intensive activities/events, including our first-ever election newspaper with the SFGP's candidate and proposition endorsements for the recent November election.  We distributed the paper to every registered Green in San Francisco, which set us back thousands of dollars in mailing, production and printing costs.  Please help in our fundraising efforts by becoming a Green Party sustainer, or making a one-time donation!  

Your generous contributions now will help us finish the year on strong financial footing and get a jump-start on the 2008 elections.  Please help us remain solvent by donating now!   <http://www.sfgreenparty.org/makeadonation/makeadonation.html>http://www.sfgreenparty.org/makeadonation/makeadonation.html
