Please send this to your email list to encourage people to help with our Countywide petition drive for Single Member Districts? DEADLINE MARCH 16 to submit enough validated petitions to put this on the ballot this spring in time to help County Commission candidates in 2018.
Please call if any questions.

EVERYONE,
This is a heads-up!
--for all who care about campaign finance reform and a way we can make a difference right here in Sarasota County by changing the way we elect County Commissioners to Single Member Districts.
WE ARE NOW IN A RACE AGAINST TIME!
WILL YOU HELP??
We have submitted 11,749 petitions to the Supervisor of Elections, but we need to deliver another 5,500 by March 16 to make sure we have the last 4,174 validated petitions needed to put this referendum on the ballotJune 12 in order to benefit candidates in 2018. (See http://www.keepdemocracysafe.org/act-now ) If we pass this at any later time this year, it will not benefit candidates until 2020!
Even with some paid petition-gatherers working night and day, we need everyone’s help to meet our AMBITIOUS GOAL of 5,500 more petitions in 10 DAYS!!
Will you join our HI FIVE campaign to push us over the top??
  1. Download and print the petition here
  2. Make 5 copies and have friends and acquaintances who vote in Sarasota County –and who haven’t already signed the petition--fill them in while you are there
  3. Mail them to the address on the petition.
Remember, Single Member Districts will
  • Make our elected officials more accountable to YOU, the voter, rather than to big moneyed interests and their PACs
  • Cut the cost of campaigns by 80%
  • Make races more competitive, and allow more good candidates to run
  • Benefit people of ALL political parties, and help restore democracy in this county for years to come
THANKS!
LET’S DO THIS!
Kindra, for the SAFE board
