The online version of the SF League's Pissed Off Voter Guide is available at http://theballot.org/2010/sf . Check it out and let us know what you think! And stay tuned for info about pub crawls and other events we'll be doing to spread the word between now and June 8th.
Endorsement Party 4/30/10
Guess what--it's election time again! On the June 8th ballot we'll see protections for renters in SF, Gavin for Lieutenant Governor, a DCCC race that is way more important than it sounds, and what might be PG&E's dirtiest prop yet. Our voter guide is more important than ever, and young and/or pissed off voters across the city are waiting to see what we'll recommend. Join us for the endorsement party tomorrow, where the League's Political Education and Action Committee will present their recommendations, and eligible members will vote to determine what will go in our 12th Pissed Off Voter Guide. And we'll be on the radio! SF League Endorsement Party Friday 4/30/10 6-8pm Not everyone can vote on the endorsements, but all are welcome to participate in the conversation. So come on down to the cafe for a bacon maple latte and get schooled on what's on the ballot. If you can't make it in person, you can listen online or tune into 87.9FM. Hope to see you there!

November 3, 2009: SF's Anticlimactic Election
To be honest, this isn't the most exciting election, but Props C, D, and E give us a chance to say no to commercialization of public space. We wanted bold budget reform and progressive taxation on the ballot, but...fail. You can thank the 2/3rds vote requirement for local revenue measures for that.

Atlantic Ave, 2nd Floor Brooklyn, NY 11201, Robert Baker, Treasurer.
Not paid for by any candidate or candidate's committee.

Declaration Of Democracy Campaign
Let's restore Democracy to the Budget! California is one of only four states with a 2/3 budget rule. thats the biggest reason we have a budget stalemate every year. Lowering the threshold to 50% would move radical Republicans to the fringe and out more moderate legislators in the drivers seat. Government fails when it isn't democratic, as the 2/3rds rule repeatedly proves. That's why the League of Young Voters, CREDO Mobile, and the Courage Campaign
are declaring today that it's time to bring democracy to California's
broken government. We're calling it the "Declaration of Democracy" and
we need your support to make it a success. Sign the Declaration NOW to restore democracy to California!
