Data entry, phone volunteers, assemble materials for precinct walkers.
This is crucial work and is a good opportunity for retired people and anyone else who is available during the day to assist. This is also good for people who cannot walk precincts.

Sisters and Brothers:
We need you on the campaign trail NOW. You do not have to be a San Francisco voter or a voter anywhere to participate in the campaign. Precinct walking and phone banking are the heart of any campaign and are fundamental grassroots organizing. This is a good way for teenagers to learn what grassroots political organizing is. If you are a mother with small children, put them in the stroller, hang a knapsack on the handles for your campaign literature, and teach your child political work as my mother did from Day 1. They will love you for it and it is a good social activity for both mother and child.

If you wonder why we do not have more people participating in peace marches and other political activity, you will get an important reality adjustment doing precinct walking and phone banking as the political consciousness of the most educated sector of the population, the voters, desperately needs to be raised from its current low level. You are the teacher, the organizer and the mobilizer. Every person we reach is a likely voter for public power, but they do have to be reached. We must walk or call every voter in all 600 precincts in San Francisco. We will win if we push our voters to the polls.

A victory for public power in San Francisco will reverberate from Sacramento to Wall Street as it will influence the California governor's race of 2002 and will be a major notice to the capitalist class that the workingclass is advancing. This will be a milestone achievement in these reactionary times. A victory for public power is a workingclass victory, and that is why the political earth will shake and we will all advance.

Rain or shine, we must all participate in this bell lap, the final week, to bring home a very precious and important victory, public power. On election day, we will need drivers with cars to drive people to the polls, especially if it rains. Please give at least one hour of your time this week, and preferably more.

Justice recommends:

Carlos Petroni for Treasurer
Board of Directors of the Municipal Utility District (We all vote for 1 from each ward, regardless of where we live):
1. Chris Finn
2. Joe Veronese
3. Joel Ventresca
4. Medea Benjamin
5. Abel Mouton
No on Prop A; Yes on All the Rest.
YES, YES, YES FOR PROPS. B, F, H AND I for PUBLIC AND SOLAR POWER NOW!
NOW IS THE HOUR FOR PUBLIC POWER
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
