DESCRIPTION:Thursday   August 12   7 pm  San Francisco   Drinks in Common on Prop 
 13\n\n\nDid you know that commercial real estate pays property tax based on 
 the sales price of land at the time of purchase? In many instances, 
 commercial real estate is paying prperty tax as much as 25 years out of 
 date!!!\n\nJoin SFSU graduate students Omar Ventura and Daniel Villanueva 
 as they launch their campaign to amend Prop 13 so that commercial real 
 estate pays property tax based on periodically reassessed values.\n\nDrinks 
 in Common is a social networking program of the Henry George Historical 
 Society. Join us most second Thursdays of the month at Rancho Parnassus, 
 132 6th St. in San Francisco's SoMa district. 7 pm talk, 6:30 social 
 gathering.\n\nhttp://www.henrygeorgehistoricalsociety.org\n\n\nOmar Ventura 
 : Graduate Political Science student at San Francisco State University . 
 \n\nDaniel Villanueva: Graduate Anthropology student at San Francisco State 
 University . \n\nWe support all groups dedicated to amending/reforming 
 proposition 13.  Phil Ting’s Close the Prop 13 Loophole is one of those 
 groups which we actively support.  In addition, we have created a 
 grassroots group/organization/movement to Amend Prop 13 via the referenda 
 process at San Francisco State University .  The plan is named The Fair 
 Property Assessment Plan which seeks to close the Prop 13 corporate tax 
 loophole while maintaining the protection offered to homeowners by Prop 13. 
  By Amending Prop 13 via the ballot initiative process, Californians can 
 generate an estimated $7.5 billion annually for our state.   \n\nThe Fair 
 Property Assessment Plan was chosen at the Berkeley General Assembly to 
 represent solutions offered by the CSU's to help fix California ’s 
 current budget deficit problem.  This is one step of many needed to truly 
 rehabilitate California and California education!  \n                       
      \nCalifornians for the Fair Property Assessment is a group made-up of 
 students, workers, teachers, and many other concerned Californians.  The 
 purpose of the group is to educate/inform the public about Prop 13 and the 
 need to reform Prop 13. During the fall, we will tour as many schools as 
 possible to inform the public on the benefits of reforming prop 13!  To
