[GPSCC-chat] Volunteers needed to get the best vote Aug. 30 on SB 52 to disclose the major contributors to campaign ads

Sun Aug 24 11:32:58 PDT 2014

Hello, All:

       SB 52 is scheduled for a vote in the California Assembly this 
Saturday, August 30.  SB 52 mandates disclosure of the identities of the 
major contributors to campaign ads.

       I believe this deserves your support, because the financing of 
political campaigns and investigative journalism are the primary 
obstacles to improvement on almost any issue facing humanity today.

       You can help with this effort in four different ways:  First, if 
you haven't already, contact your representative in the California 
Assembly about this.  The other three ways are phone banking and using 
Facebook and Twitter for the CAClean campaign, as outlined in the email 
below.

             1.1.  If you don't know your representative in the 
Assembly, go to "http://assembly.ca.gov", click on "Members", then "Find 
your Legislator by your address".

             1.2.  Call or email your representative.  "Find your 
Legislator", as just described, should produce a link to your 
representative's web site, which should explain how you can contact them 
by phone and email.

       For phone banking, Facebook, and Twitter, see below.

       Thanks,
       Spencer

Hi William -

Two years of hard work by thousands of activists for the game-changing
*California
DISCLOSE Act* are now coming to a head.  Last week it passed the Assembly
Appropriations Committee after thousands of calls, emails, faxes, and a
hundred people packed the halls in Sacramento at the hearing.

*On Saturday, August 30th, SB 52 will be having its final vote in the full
Assembly -- and a quick final "reconciliation" vote in the Senate the same
day.*

SB 52 now has powerful opponents who oppose SB 52's clear-cut rules that
disclosures on ballot measure ads must show the actual original
corporations, unions or millionaires that pay for the ad, not misleading
front-groups.  So we've got our work cut out for us.

Here are three things you can do to build pressure on the Assembly:  Virtual
phonebanking to constituents of key Assemblymembers
<http://www.yesfairelections.org/contacts/civicrm/event/ical?rese%20t=1&page=1&html=1&type=11>,
our Facebook "rapid response" team, and Twitter "storms".  We describe them
below.  Please sign up for one of them!

*Sign up for Callfire virtual phonebanking!*
Phonebanking to generate calls from constituents is one of the most
powerful things you can do to pass the *California DISCLOSE Act*.  You'll
be using our powerful Callfire system and calling Clean Money and *DISCLOSE
Act* supporters, so the calling is easy and effective.

One thing our Callfire system does is help make your calling more efficient
by automatically dialing for you.  But the most important thing it does is
let you press a button and automatically transfer the caller directly to
the office of the Assemblymember when they agree to speak to them!  It's
all done without any long-distance charges for you.

We're having trainings every day next week at 2pm and 7pm (except Friday,
when it will just be at 2pm).  Then you'll get a script and will be calling
constituents of key targets.  These calls may make the difference between
winning and losing, so make as many as you're able to from the comfort of
your own home.

*Sign up for a Callfire virtual phonebank training now!

*Join the Clean Money Facebook Rapid Response Team!*
A big way we've been building support for the *California DISCLOSE Act* and
other ways to fight Big Money in politics is by sharing Clean Money posts
on Facebook.

*Click here to "like" the California DISCLOSE Act Facebook page!*
<https://www.facebook.com/YesFairElections>

But liking the page is only the first step.  What really helps spread the
word is when you engage by "liking" and commenting on posts, and especially
sharing them with your friends.

We have an active Clean Money Facebook Rapid Response team that gets email
alerts 3-4 times a week on important Clean Money posts with the latest news
or actions to share.  That way you won't miss anything and can share them
right away!

*Sign up for the Clean Money Facebook Rapid Response team!*
<http://www.caclean.org/petition?name=signup-facebook-response&ref=su:moveon-signup-facebookup-response-2014-08-23>

*Join the #PassSB52 Twitter Storms next Tuesday and Thursday nights!*
If you're on Twitter, then join our "Twitter Storms" next Tuesday (8/26)
and Thursday (8/28) from 9-10pm, where supporters from around the state
will be tweeting at key Assemblymembers to vote Yes on SB 52.

We'll provide you with a list of sample tweets using the hashtag
#PassSB52.  All you'll have to do is:

1) Select a sample tweet from the list (which we'll email you when the
storm begins) or adapt one yourself.
2) Select another sample tweet from the list provided and publish it.
3) Repeat for as many times as you can.

*Click here to register for Tuesday (8/26) at 9pm
<http://www.yesfairelections.org/contacts/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=628>*

*Click here to register for Thursday (8/28) at 9pm
<http://www.yesfairelections.org/contacts/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=629>*

And of course you don't need to wait for the Twitter Storms.  If you're on
Twitter, you can go right now and *follow the California Clean Money
Campaign on Twitter <https://twitter.com/CACleanMoney>*.  Then search for
#PassSB52, and then retweet the tweets you see or tw eet similar ones of
your own!

---
Signing up for one or more of these three things will make a big difference
for SB 52's chances.  We're down to the last week for this game-changing
reform.

As one of our volunteer leaders said, you can tell how powerful the *California
DISCLOSE Act* is by how hard it is to pass it.  You can also tell by looking
at the details on our website <http://www.yesfairelections.org/about/>.
But we are getting very close, thanks to all of you.

Together, we will create a democracy that is truly of, by, and for the
people.

President, California Clean Money Action Fund
