Information about Building a Grass Roots Effort and why we need one

Friendly Reminder for annual and quarterly pledges and those who would like to join us

As part of our 2006 Election Plan many made a pledge for $100.00 per year or $25.00 per quarter. Now would be an excellent time to make your annual or first quarter contribution. And of course we can use the help of anyone who would like to contribute, no contribution is too small.

As a brief status update, we have produced the first 5,000 Real Choice newspapers and all but one mailing has now been distributed. The response has been very positive.

It is time to produce the second issue and with your support we can increase the quantity to 10,000. Please consider chipping in to help this effort grow. More than anything else we have done, this effort is getting your message out. Anyone who contributes to this effort will receive a copy of each issue. If you believe in the Principles Upon which Our County was founded, it is about the best newspaper you can find.

All who have made contributions should have received a copy by now. If you have not received issue 1 by now, it means we have an error on our mailing list - please email us at: webmaster@spofga.org so we can make corrections and get your copy in the next mailing.

Other efforts that need your assistance are listed below, and once again, no contribution is too small, if everybody on this list sent just $5.00 we would have our whole years planned budget.

• Lobbying at Capitol, we would like to reimburse gas, parking and meals for our folks spending a day at the Capitol during the Legislative Session.
   
• Election Plan featuring delivering the "A Real Choice" newspaper to registered voter households in selected districts.
   
• Petition Signatures to for ballot access. As you are aware Georgia has the hardest ballot access in our entire country. This places an enormous burden on anyone considering running as a candidate. In most cases it is just beyond their capability to obtain the number of signatures required considering the large number that are rejected. This year we want to help our candidates get on the ballot - by hiring the collection of petition signatures. Lets stand behind those who are willing to run for office - can you contribute $10.00 or $20.00 to help them get on the ballot.

As you can see from the list above, we have come quite a ways in our two election cycles and are continuing to work on providing A Real Choice. What we have accomplished has been because of your support. We need your help to continue.
