The Solano Green Party consists of 1100 registered Greens. We are committed to working on issues of Social Justice within our local community and to getting Greens elected into office at the city and county levels. The Camejo campaign and the Green Party have a unique opportunity to change the way California politics happens, but we can't do it without your commitment! We welcome your involvement. You can help the Solano Green Party by: DONATING: Our opponents have dozens of statewide organizing staff, millions of dollars to spend on TV commercials, and never have to check the bank balance just to print new materials. It costs money to get our message out to the public. VOLUNTEER: Your vote is not enough! No genuine grassroots change can happen without citizens who will put their time and effort into carrying their ideas through. We are looking for volunteers to table at farmer's markets and supermarkets; to make phone calls urging people to vote; to stuff and send mailings. If you can assist us with any of the above, please call Steve at 449-3887, or email him at ssdj@starband.net
