Heres what you can do to help defeat Prop 98! Please Help Out!

Heres what you can do to help defeat Prop 98, and in spite of what the arrogant nameless prick had to say about sharing information that our efforts are showing results, I TRUST that as many people as possible will vote in opposition to Prop 98! "LC"

San Francisco has weekend voting, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., May 24-25 and May 31-June 1, at the Country Registrar of Voters, City Hall, basement, Van Ness side.

http://www.sftu.org/Prop98Calendar.html and here:

Clear your calendar to help with the most critical part of the campaign--GOTV as we call it. We need as many people as possible to make themselves available the last few days before the election and—especially—as many people as possible who can take all or part of Election Day off. Prop 98 is coordinating with Yes on F, the Sierra Club, SEIU (Yes on Props A & B) and other campaigns to mount a coordinated Get Out the Vote Campaign. We are securing an office in the Mission to work out of for these last few days. More details will follow, but we'll need volunteers for these tasks:

Office & Prep Tasks--Friday, 5/30: Bagging literature, flyers, maps, making signs, getting food and other stuff to get ready for the big push

Mission Literature Drops & Tabling, Saturday & Sunday, May 31 & June 1, 11 AM -- We need to really blanket the Mission this final weekend.

Phonebanking—Saturday, Sunday, & Monday Evenings May 31-June 2 in the evening. We'll start our big push of calling absentee renter voters who have not turned in their ballots yet.

BART & MUNI Flyering, Monday & Tuesday June2 & June 3–During morning and evening commute times.

Doorhangers Monday Night & Tuesday Morning, June 2 & June 3 – We'll be distributing a doorhanger in the 200 most progressive precincts in the city (these will largely be in the Haight & Mission).

Election Day, Tuesday, June 3--the big day: we'll need people to help with visibility (No on 98 banner at Market & Van Ness during morning & evening commute times, people holding signs at key intersections, etc). AT 4 PM we'll need lost of people to begin knocking on doors of renters who have not yet voted to try to get them to the polls (and we'll be simultaneously calling others). This is the day we can really use people's help!!!

IT IS NOT OVER UNTIL 8 P.M. ON JUNE 3. There are still 22% undecided and of course, we have NO IDEA EXACTLY WHO WILL VOTE UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY VOTE. We must push every pro-rent control voter, the irregular voters, to the polls on June 3 or before. PLEASE HELP and remember, SAVE OUR CITY, SAVE OUR STATE, NO ON 98, yes on 99, and in San Francisco for affordable housing, Yes on F, No on G.
