Dear Gerald ,

After a standing-room only crowds in San Francisco and 200+ attendees in
Los Angeles, it's time for South Bay area residents to show their
commitment to passing Proposition 15, the California Fair Elections Act.

Join us for the South Bay Prop 15 Campaign Kickoff, Saturday, March 27
from 4-6pm

<clip>

This Proposition 15 kickoff was put together by hard-working volunteers
like you.  You'll get to hear how it will work to provide voluntary
public financing to qualified Secretary of State candidates who agree to
strict spending limits.  You'll also hear how it responds to the
corporate takeover that could result from the recent Supreme Court
decision - by starting the process of getting politicians out of the
fundraising game.

WHEN:         Saturday, March 27 from 4pm-6pm
WHERE:       First Unitarian Church of San Jose
                     160 North Third St, San Jose

Assemblymembers Jim Beall, Jr, Joe Coto, Paul Fong, Ira Ruskin, Sally
Lieber (ret.), Fred Keeley (ret.), and San Mateo County Supervisor Rich
Gordon will talk about why they support Prop 15 and why all Californians
should!

Trent Lange, Chair of Yes on Proposition 15, will talk about how the
system works and the statewide campaign to pass the proposition.

We will end with a brainstorming and organizing session for the new
local grassroots coalition to support the campaign by building support
locally.

Please invite anyone you know who is sick of the outrageous amount of
money in politics and might be interested in helping bring about Fair
Elections.  Imagine what California could be if our elected officials
could focus on governing instead of fundraising!
