Dear Friends:

I am gathering signatures to place Ralph Nader and Peter Camejo on the California ballot, and as you can imagine, it's not the easiest task trying get people to sign the petitions.

When the voter is willing to sign, and understands how important it is to offer voters a choice this November in the presidential race, I find we then talk for a few minutes about the Nader campaign.

As you may know, we need 153,805 valid signatures, to qualify for the ballot, therefore our goal is 210,000 signatures by August 6, 2004. There is much strategizing and work to do before then, and you can play a crucial part in gathering signatures.

To increase the number of signatures from San Francisco, I am taking the initiative to meet up with other Nader volunteers.

I'll be hosting a relaxed meeting from 6:00 to 7:00 PM on Monday, June 28, at the City Blend Cafe, located at 3087-16th Street, between Mission and Valencia streets. The closest BART station is the 16th and Mission stop, and Muni bus lines 26 Valencia, 22 Fillmore and the 14 Mission bring you to the cafe.

Stop by and pick up petitions and San Francisco voter registration forms. If you're already collecting signatures, come meet other Nader supporters and help organize more of Nader campaign in San Francisco, and the larger Bay Area.

Also remember there's a meetup.com sponsored San Francisco Nader supporters event on Thursday, July 8 at 7:00 PM, place to be determined. Visit meetup.com and vote for your favorite place to meet next month.

Can't make my June 28 meeting, but still want a petition or voter registration form from me?

You can call me at 415-621-6267, or email me at mpetrelis@aol.com, to make arrangements for me to get you the needed materials.


Best,
Michael Petrelis
