<div>
<div>Dear Laura, and All Ca Greens,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> i absolutely concur with Laura's assessment
regarding the importance of first qualifying this initiative for the ballot, and
then voting "yes" in November; and with the need to help in gathering as
many signatures as possible before the mid-April deadline. i also
completely agree that this and some other current initiative campaigns dovetail
nicely with a necessary GPCA registration drive, and with supporting our
candidates by building a mass base of Green Party activists, donors and
voters. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> But...</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Please allow me to interject several words of
caution : </div>
<div> </div>
<div> Careful completion of the "circulators declaration"
at the bottom of each petition is a MUST for all or any of the signatures to be
valid. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> Furthermore, the registered voter signing the
petition must also : </div>
<div> </div>
<div>A) Print first and last name legibly, </div>
<div>B) Sign Name, </div>
<div>C) Print RESIDENCE ADDRESS legibly, including Apt #'s if
any (POBoxes are automatically disqualified), and </div>
<div>D) Print city and zip code below the residence address...</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Any omission above will likely disqualify the
signature...</div>
<div> </div>
<div> You may only have addresses from
<strong>ONE</strong> county on each multi-signature petition, and the
county MUST be designated on the front above the signature
field(s) in the blank space provided after : "We the undersigned,
registered, qualified voters of California, residents
of <u>
</u>County, etc"</div>
<div> </div>
<div> If you register someone to vote who also signs the
petition, you must enter their 10 space <strong>*affidavit</strong>
<strong>letters and numbers*</strong> from directly under the signature
box on the registration form, into the box on the left hand column of the
petition, to the left of the signer's printed and signed name.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Note - 697,000 VALID signatures are needed by mid
April... which normally means the campaign must collect a grand total
of <strong><em><u>1 million</u></em></strong> signatures to get 700,000
valid signatures.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Finally, i am also concerned that the downloadable
version of the initiative portrayed at the link below, is considerably
different, with a lot of initiative text omitted from the version of the
initiative provided to the professional signature gatherers statewide. i
am surprised and question whether there is really that much variation
or leeway allowed in the two versions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> If i can assist those who would like to have the
professional version (with 8 signatures per petition) please feel free to
contact me.</div>

Voter Registration Drive,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I believe overturning the 2/3 rule in Sacramento is key to California's
again being a leader in schools, healthcare, environment, and job
opportunities. (Another key is establishing a State Bank so we can stop
allowing Wall Street to determine - and undermine - our economy and our
values.)</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many Greens are carrying this petition, and I'll bet it will help a Green
voter registration drive. For decades, the Democratic and Republican Parties
have not even talked about it, let alone changed it. Greens HAVE addressed
it!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this is part of the Green reg drive. To put the proposition on
the November ballot, 697,000 petitions are due by early April.</div>

We
may finally have an approach that will achieve our goal of at least
1<br>
Million signatures for the California Democracy Act initiative by
early<br>
April. If you would each send out the message below adding your
own<br>
persuasive text to your personal email contact list we can actually
go<br>
viral. <br>
<br>
The breakthrough is that now anyone can print
out and sign their own<br>
single-signer petition on regular size paper - at
home. Then simply mail it<br>
in following instructions on the revised
website.<br>
<br>
Here's the link to the "upgraded" California Democracy Act
campaign website:<br>
<br>
<a title="http://www.ca4democracy.com/" target="_blank" href="http://www.ca4democracy.com/">http://www.ca4democracy.com/</a><br>
<br>
On it you will find a plethora of info, but most importantly
the<br>
new strategy for having supporters print out and sign their own
official<br>
single-signer petition forms. I just reviewed it and it
appears fairly<br>
straight-forward to do so.<br>
<br>
Please feel free to cc the world. We need 1 Million
signatures by<br>
early April to make this
happen.<br>
