1.  Clean Elections Court Hearing - Wed., 10/24/2001
-------------------------------------------------------------

On October 24th from 9:30 to 10:00 a.m., the Supreme Judicial 
Court for Suffolk County will hear arguments from both sides 
in the lawsuit filed by James O'Keefe, Mass Voters for Clean 
Elections and 30 other individuals and groups on October 4th. 
For more info on the lawsuit, please visit 
http://www.massvoters.org/Lawsuit.html.

The hearing will be at the Suffolk County Courthouse, 13th 
Floor, Pemberton Square, Boston.  The court house is across 
from City Hall Plaza.  The Government Center stop, on the 
MBTA's Green and Blue Lines, is the closest stop to the 
courthouse. Garage parking it available in the area, but it 
is expensive.

If you are interested in attending, an overflow room has 
already been arranged by Mass. Voters for Clean Elections. 
Mass. Voters for Clean Elections has requested that 
supporters dress appropriately. This is a hearing in a court 
of law, and not a demonstration. No signs are allowed in the 
courtroom, but please wear Green Party and/or Clean 
Elections buttons.

Please join us in supporting the Clean Elections Law. Contact 
the office at 617-628-2922 or info at jamesokeefe.org if you 
plan to attend this event.

2.  Tell Tom & Tom to fully fund the Clean Elections law!
-------------------------------------------------------------

This message is also at http://www.jamesokeefe.org/TakeAction

We are urging our supporters to make two simple calls to 
support fully funding the Clean Elections Law. Fully funding 
the Clean Elections Law will help get big money out of 
politics and ensure that our campaign's voice is heard.

Please call Speaker Finneran and Senate President 
Birmingham at: 

Finneran's #: 617-722-2500
Birmingham's #: 617-722-1500 

The message is simple:

"I want the budget conference committee to fully fund Clean 
Elections NOW." 

Please call and spread the word to your friends and family.  
Thanks!

3.  Buttons & bumper stickers available

Bumper stickers and buttons are available.  Please contact us 
if you would like to receive them.

4.  Campaign volunteers needed
-------------------------------------------------------------

Jamie O'Keefe's campaign for State Treasurer is picking up 
steam, and we need volunteers to mount a real challenge to 
Massachusetts' irresponsible and destructive investment 
policies. Whatever your talents and abilities, you can help. 
We need people for standouts and public outreach, fundraising,
house parties, telephone banking, envelope stuffing, updating
the web site and many other activities and tasks.  

Please contact the campaign at 617-628-2922 or 
info at jamesokeefe.org to help out!

-------------------------------------------------------------
5.  Town, city & campus coordinators needed 
-------------------------------------------------------------

The campaign is looking for campaign coordinators in every 
city and town and at every campus in Massachusetts.  Please 
contact us at 617-628-2922 or info at jamesokeefe.org if you can 
coordinate the campaign in your area.

6.  James O'Keefe is available to speak at your event
-------------------------------------------------------------

James O'Keefe is available to speak at your Green Local 
meeting or in your neighborhood about the issues on which he 
is running, the campaign and building the Green Party.  
Please contact the office with the date, time and location of 
the meeting so we can schedule him to attend your event.

-------------------------------------------------------------
7.  Send us press clippings about the campaign 
-------------------------------------------------------------

If your local paper runs a story about the campaign, please 
cut it out and send us a copy.  If is available on the 
internet, please email us a url or send us the text.

-------------------------------------------------------------
8.  Web site updated!
-------------------------------------------------------------

We continue to add new features to the web site to make it 
better for supporters to use.  Recently, we added summaries 
of the Take Action, Events and News sections to the home 
page.  We hope you find these changes helpful.

James O'Keefe and Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for 
Governor, were on WMBR's Radio with a View on 10/16.  WMBR 
will provide us with an audio tape of this broadcast.  If you 
know how to turn an audio tape into an MP3 file and would 
like to help both campaigns with this task, please email us 
at info at jamesokeefe.org.
