Dear Greens,

     Our monthly meetings resume this coming Wednesday (see agenda
below), and we need your signature(s)!

Your signature can help Green Party candidates save more than
*$13,000* in filing fees for the June 2014 ballot.

In the past, Green Party candidates needed 150 signatures to get on
the ballot. Today, it is 10,000 for statewide offices and 3,000 for
local.

The Green Party of California has endorsed four candidates for
statewide office in the June 2014 primary election:
* Luis Rodriguez <http://rodriguezforgovernor.org/>* (Governor),
* Laura Wells <http://www.laurawells.org/> (Controller),
* Ellen Brown <http://ellenbrown.com/> (Treasurer), and
* David Curtis <http://www.votedavidcurtis.org/> (Secretary of State).

In San Francisco, Barry Hermanson <barryhermanson.org> is working to
finish in the top two for Congress so that instead of a Republican
appearing on the November ballot, voters can choose between Nancy
Pelosi and a Green.

Sign one or sign all 5.  Following is a brief list of places where you
can sign petitions this week. Please let us know <cc at sfgreens.org> if
you would like the SF Green Party to schedule a signing event in your
neighborhood or outside an event you will be attending.  We will be
working on this signature drive until February 20th and look forward
to scheduling signing opportunities in every district in San
Francisco.

Friday, January 17th:  11 am - 1 pm. Outside the entrance of the Main
