[Sosfbay-discuss] Election Forum September 25th/More Information

[WB4D23 at aol.com]

I spoke by telephone with Jerry Fang this afternoon.  He explained  that this 
forum will be mostly about ballot measures and that candidates or  candidate 
representatives will NOT have speaking time.  He said a table  would be 
provided for literatute and that the expectation is that the literature  will 
emphasize our presidential and vp candidates.  He indicated  that tablers should 
show up about a half hour before the program start  time.  So...  It's important 
to make sure there is literture about  Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente to 
have at that event along with voter reg  cards and general GPSCC info.

Below is a copy of the material I gave to Jim Doyle last night re the  
September 25th program at the United Way building.  Several people said  they would 
attend.  Jim Doyle has the volunteers list.  Someone  needs to take on the 
assignment of contacting Mr. Fang and finding  out details about tabling. .

On September 25th, we are organizing a nonpartisan  election forum event
where voters can come and learn about the pertinent  issues that are
facing Californians on the November ballot.  We  invite your campaign to
provide resources and materials for tabling and  would certainly welcome
a representative to table the event.  We  will have campaign resource
information available to all attendees. In  addition, we will be
discussing a select number of propositions and local  measures.  This is
a nonpartisan event and as 501c3s, we cannot  endorse candidates,
however, we are using this as an educational event to  provide
information on all propositions and candidates to the  community.

The event is slated to begin at 6:30 and will  include a couple rounds of
discussion as well as a general overview of  selected propositions.
Materials and voter registration booths will also  be provided. =20
