[Sosfbay-discuss] project vote smart

[Jim Doyle]

Project Vote Smart will be in San Jose in August.We should be there -
site TBD - to show our support.
Here is the announcement I have received:

Dear Project Member,
Our bus is heading towards your state.  Here is the tentative schedule 
we have put together thus far:

August 19: San Francisco
August 20: San Jose

*DEMOCRAT NATIONAL CONVENTION, DENVER, CO AUGUST 24-28
*REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION, MINNEAPOLIS, MN SEPTEMBER 1-4

As you can see from our schedule our great Purple Bus Tour is coming to 
your area.  We will let you know specifics as we have everything set.  
In the meantime we are very interested in any assistance you might 
provide.  First, we need members who can help set up a good location 
and/or tie-in event on the date listed where we can put the bus.  It is 
essential that the location be centrally located to make it easy for the 
media to attend and hopefully some place where there will be good 
pedestrian traffic so that people will take a minute to come in and see 
the incredible Voter's Self-Defense System we have all helped create.

The bus of course has free wi-fi, computer terminals and a movie theater 
to help show people how it all works. In addition, we have a couple of 
fun items traveling with the bus and need a couple of members to 
volunteer to help with.  One, is and enormous rolling flag where voters 
can send messages to candidates about their behavior - it will be 
delivered in Washington, D.C. election week.  Two, is an enormous dart 
board, where citizens can pop balloons with the mudslinger comments made 
during this campaign and expose the real issues that hide underneath.

Please reply to this email if you think you can help set up a stop for 
our bus in your area.  Thank you so much for your support.
