<DIV><FONT size=4>Hello Green Party members in Santa Clara
County!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>In 2016, we expect that there will be at least one Green
Party candidate for U. S. Senate in California. As part of qualifying to
get their name on the Primary Election ballot, each candidate needs either to
pay thousands of dollars or collect 10,000 petition signatures. Even if
a candidate does not collect the full number, his or her candidate fee is at
least partially reduced.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>At this time, your County Council members are trying to
prepare for the signature gathering period in January by starting to get
volunteers to collect signatures (or at least sign </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>a candidate's petition -- or even hold a house party for
others to attend and sign a petition). If you are willing to help with
any of these, please send an email to Warner Bloomberg at <A
title=mailto:wb4d23@aol.com
href="mailto:wb4d23@aol.com">wb4d23@aol.com</A>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>We also will need petition signers for candidates for the
GPSCC County Council in January and February. We also expect that there
will be ballot initiatives that Green Party members will want to support
circulated this Fall and Spring.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>We also need volunteers to become County Council
members.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The County Council is the small group of volunteers
that serves as the local contacts with the Green Party of California,
coordinates with local progressive organizations, and serves as
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>the general organizers to keep our county Green Party
active.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>At present, we have four County Council members -- so there
are three vacancies that could be filled by appointment for the next nine
months.</FONT></DIV>
