Greens often say the most important thing for us to do as a political
party is to get money out of politics. This activist group has been
working on the issue. They are having a meeting this weekend and it
would be good if some local Greens would go. Be seen being Green.
Gerry, Are Santa Clara Greens already aware of this event in your county?

Hi Sanda -
*I want to make sure you saw the invitation to our great Clean Money
Grassroots Summit this coming weekend, on Saturday May 7th in Palo
Alto.*Â Lots of people have signed up, yet there's still room for you!
Clean Money grassroots activists and supporters are coming to plan how
we'll finish passing the /California DISCLOSE Act,/ AB 700, our
game-changing bill to make political ads show who _really_ pays for
them. We got it through the Assembly with an _unprecedented_
bipartisan vote of 60-15, so we've got a great chance to get it through
the Senate and into law if we all work together.
We'll also discuss SEVEN other exciting new bills fighting Big Money in
politics that we've decided to fight for, including the /Overturn
Citizens United Act/, SB 254. This is an exciting year!
Come meet other Clean Money activists plus local leaders Nancy Neff,
Craig Dunkerley, David Schmidt, and more. I'll also be there to
explain the details of all the bills, and how we're going to target our
actions for maximum effect. Please see all the details below!
*If you want to pass a law RIGHT NOW to stop secret money from
billionaires and special interests buying elections, this is your chance!*
*WHEN:Â Â Â * Saturday, May 7th, 9am - 4:30pm /(you can come to just the
morning if you want)/
*WHERE: Â *Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto
              505 East Charleston Rd.
        Palo Alto, CA 94306
              *Lunch will be served*

*Can't make it?*Â Chip in $3 to help us execute the challenging plans
we'll make at the summit to pass these powerful bills against
pay-to-play politics!

*You're Invited to the
CLEAN MONEY GRASSROOTS SUMMIT*
*— Saturday, May 7th in Palo Alto *
Who's spending millions on political ads to buy elections while hiding
from voters? *You deserve to know.*
This year, Clean Money activists like you helped our */California
DISCLOSE Act/, AB 700, pass the Assembly in a landslide bipartisan vote
of 60-15!*
AB 700 would strike the strongest blow ever against secret money in
politics, requiring political ads to stop deceiving voters about who's
paying for them. *We're determined to pass it through the Senate and
into law this summer*, and now it's time to mobilize!
*That's not all! Thanks in part to all of you who worked so hard for
the /Voters' Right to Know/ initiative, Sacramento has put the major
ideas into several separate bills — bills we're working hard to pass.*
*SB 1349* (Hertzberg) greatly increases transparency with a new
California campaign disclosure website.
*AB 2523* (Mullin) requires city and counties to have contribution
limits in their races.
*AB 1828* (Dodd) closes conflict of interest loopholes on the powerful
Board of Equalization.
*SB 976* (Vidak) stops the obscenity of legislators quitting their term
and quickly taking a job lobbying.
*SB 254Â *(Allen/Leno) puts Prop 49, the /Overturn Citizens United Act/,
back on the ballot!
And, don't forget *SB 1107* (Allen), which repeals California's ban on
public financing of campaigns!
*5 out of the 6 new bills have already passed their first committee
votes, and SB 254 will hopefully pass its first vote tomorrow. Â
*Sacramento is starting to respond to the tremendous anger about Big
Money in politics. But to pass AB 700 and the rest of them we'll need
huge grassroots support, and *now's the time for detailed briefing and
planning. That's where you come in!*
*Join our Northern California Grassroots Summit on May 7th*
California Clean Money Campaign grassroots leaders and activists
throughout Northern California are coming to a full-day summit on
Saturday, May 7th in Palo Alto. Come learn how to talk about AB 700
and*plan the full-scale grassroots campaign to win the last leg in the
fight to put the bill on Governor Brown's desk*! We'll also cover the
exciting new Clean Money bills listed above and how we can really help
pass them.
*WHAT: Â Â Clean Money Grassroots Summit*
*WHEN: Â Â Saturday, May 7th from 9:00am-4:30pm*
              (Light breakfast at 9:00am. Lunch will
also be served.)
*WHERE:Â Palo Alto, CA* (in a handicapped-accessible building)
*COST:Â Â Â Â Free* (but donations of $5-$30 toward food and other
costs appreciated)
*CARPOOLS *will be coming from all over, so if you need a ride or can
offer one please call the number on the registration page or email
info at CAclean.org.
This is a full-day summit. The morning session is detailed training
on AB 700 and the other reform bills, and the afternoon session is about
implementing campaign plans. If you can't attend all day, you can come
for either morning or afternoon.
Yes! I'd like to register for the summit!
