Grassroots Campaign: Vote Out Gavin Newsom

We must stop Gavin! He's a corporate tool who will masquerade as "Champion of the Will of San Francisco Voters" to become mayor. Sign me up!

Can't decide who you'll support in the upcoming election, if any? Can't stand the thought of Getty-Newsom as mayor? We've had enough! How 'bout you? Don't turn away, join SFVotes.org and let's have some fun at Newsom's and the Golden Gate Restaurant Association's expense. SFVotes plans include active support and promotion of POOR Magazines GGRA restaurant boycott.

SFVotes.org is starting an "Anyone But Gavin" voter block/community coalition. This is a grassroots, non-partisan, progressive, voter driven campaign working to expose conservatives in sheeps clothing, those claiming to care.

In these early months before the vote, our group will work to expose Gruesome Newsom as a cold-hearted, conservative, robber-baron-owned candidate in sheeps clothing. Those in office who supported Proposition N, or who are supporting Newsom for Mayor will be included as fair targets for our campaign.

The SF CHRONic and other Newsom proponents would like us to believe that SF voters overwhelmingly supported Porposition N. Yet, it's apparent from the numbers that Prop N did not win by mandate, rather SF voters were alseep when Prop N passed. I think 27% of all registered voters went to the polls? So that's 60% of 27% voted to shaft the poorest of the poor??

Electoral politics may dismay and disgust, but staying away lets creepy, money grubs take control of the decision making process under which we all must live. Like it or not, (electoral politics that is) SF progressives should band together to ensure Newsom-Getty does not win in November. Enough is enough! Let's get a progressive into office? Not excited by the candidate field, well let's not turn away for that reason alone. Help keep Newsom out and all those who support his heartless anti-homeless plans!

SF Votes is concerned that Getty money and the JD (jack davis) tactics this affords will drown out or marginalize arguments crucial to Newsoms defeat. SF Votes was organized to combat the hype, especially now when big money campaigns rule the PR roost months before the vote.

If you have any ideas or have heard of anyone else expressing these views, please post. Thanks.

Please join POOR Magazine in boycotting the following restaurants listed as members of GGRA--the co-sponsors of Newsom’s Proposition N and supporters of Newsom for Mayor.

Inform OWNERS as members of GGRA, and thereby supporters of Prop N and Newsom for Mayor, they will remain targets of an on-going boycott. Restaurant workers are not the target of this boycott campaign.

GGRA is active in the greater Bay Area. For members in your area, please check http://www.ggra.org members dining guide. May 22, 2003 SF-GGRA Members Dining Guide

The following is a list of restaurants that are members of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association (GGRA). Please support POOR Magazine in boycotting the following restaurants because they are members of the GGRA, which support Gavin Newsome's Proposition N, which contrary to its claims of "care" will put more poor people on the streets by taking away their rent money, reducing drug treatment services, healthcare and pay folks pennies per hour for their work-fare (the work required by the City to recieve your monthly cash assistance)

POOR contacted GGRA several times to inquire about their reason for supporting Prop N, but they did not respond, so we are asking our subscribers and readers to join us in boycotting these restaurants in opposition to this very harmful legislation.

Please join us in boycotting the following restaurants until their owners disavow membership in GGRA and denounce Newsom

Let's do anything we can to make sure gavin is NOT our next mayor!
