John Laird on the ballot measures

On Tuesday October 21, 2008, at the WILPF general meeting, our Assemblyman John Laird will help us sort out the 12 statewide ballot measures that will be decided at the November 4 election. While the presidential choice is at the top of the ticket and our focus, it is critical that this year's bumper crop of state ballot measures not get lost in the election shuffle. This is not an endorsement meeting, but an opportunity to get more informed on the choices to be made at the ballot box. So bring your sample ballot and election pamphlets with you to help in following the discussion.

The meeting will be held as usual at the Friends' Meeting House, 225 Rooney St., in Santa Cruz, starting at 7 p.m. Free, open to all, donations happily accepted.
