[SFGP] SFGP Newsletter: Meeting in the Mission Tonight (Wed.)

[Announcement list for SF Green Party, updated weekly]

Green Greetings,

The mini-election on November 3rd went pretty well, we had an 80% success
rate for the local ballot measures we endorsed.  Statewide, Greens now make
up a majority on the Fairfax Town Council in Marin County, where Pam
Hartwell-Herrero finished 1st out of 7 candidates!  Nationally Greens had a
35% victory rate in municipal elections!  2010 is also likely to be a good
Green year...
Thanks to those who helped with or stopped by our tabling booth outside of
the Green Festival this weekend.  We registered 12 new Greens and collected
$100 in donations.
