*===========================*

The SF Green Party has made the following endorsements for the June
2012 election.  We'll update our website soon with longer explanations
about each of these.

Prop A (garbage contract) - No
Prop B (Coit tower) - Yes
Prop 28 (term limit reform) - Yes
Prop 29 (cigarette tax) - Yes

President - we generally do not make endorsements in a contested Green
Party primary; we are hosting a presidential debate on May 12, so come
hear the candidates yourself!

Other offices - we generally do not endorse non-Greens in primaries,
although we may make endorsements for the general 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.
