Dear Greens,

    We're mailing out our slate card today, so look for it in
the mail early next week.  Our complete Voter Guide (with long
explanations for all our endorsements) is now posted online:

http://sfgreenparty.org/endorsements/64-november-2014-endorsements

    Please share with others, especially our arguments regarding
NO on Prop A, and YES on H / NO on I.  With the Bay Guardian being
shut down, spreading the word about our Voter Guide is more important
than ever!

    We have a meeting next Wednesday night from 7-9 (see below) at the
Redstone Building.  We have 5,000 more copies of our slate card to
hand out, and we'll be planning events for the last weeks of the
campaigns, as well as having a presentation and discussion about the
Natural Areas Program and eucalyptus trees with Dee Seligman.
