 Help Get Signatures on the Petition
The California Republican Party has always supported the idea of having an independent commission draw Congressional, Senate, Assembly and Board of Equalization legislative lines. However, the process as it stands now, has been contaminated with partisanship and secrecy, and is far from the independent and fair process Californians expected when they approved Propositions 11 and 20.
Help us gather signatures on a petition to restore transparency to California's Redistricting process and to put the issue before voters in 2012!
For every signature you get, SFVRC, will earn $1.00 for our treasury.
We need approximately 550,000 signatures statewide by end of October. Every signature counts. We want to get a referendum on the ballot voiding the State Senate Maps and having the California Supreme Court draw the lines.
We need your help, and a major effort. I will be getting out a separate email in the next few days letting you know how to get petitions for signature.

Do Business with fellow Republicans
In these tough economic times we have decided to help each other out economically.
We are preparing a business roster of Republicans for SFVRC members. This will be merged with a county-wide business directory that is being prepared by LA County Republican Clubs.
We are encouraging all of our members to patronize the businesses of our fellow members and Republicans. If you need goods and services, why not have them provided by your fellow Republicans?
For those of you who would like to have your business listed in our business directory, please send an email to: to:BUSINESS@SFVRC.ORG.
Provide your name, the name and street address of your business, your business phone number, your business web site address, and your email address. Also provide a description of the services you provide or the type of goods you sell.
We would like to publish this directory soon, so please send in your information. Send an email to business@sfvrc.org with the above information.
