HELP US REGISTER NEW CITZENS TO VOTE
One of the best ways to increase Voter turnout for Dems is to help register new citizens to vote. Every month over 1500 new citizens are sworn in at a moving Naturalization Ceremony at Golden Hall. We need volunteers to register them to vote as they stream out. Join our dedicated Voter Registration Team for this very rewarding experience. For more information email Greg Bolian and Jack Robertson at sdvoter@yahoo.com. New citizens VOTE!

WHEN: 10:15am - 12:00pm
WHERE: Golden Hall, Corner of 3rd and B Street
PARKING: Horton Plaza is a couple of blocks away
RSVP: sdvoter@yahoo.com

WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Writing letters to the editors is an effective way of voicing your opinion and raising awareness of an issue. Editors gage the public’s interest in certain subjects by the reaction they see in the letters they receive. This is a great way for us to increase news coverage of issues that are important that the paper may not be covering adequately.

For periodic updates on local stories and issues contact John Evans, founder of the Mighty Pen volunteer letter writers. Or write directory to the following publications.
