1.  TWO WEEKS UNTIL ELECTION DAY--HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE!
--------------------------------------------------------------

The end of the campaign is approaching rapidly, and time is running out to get 
the word out about Jamie and the other Mass Green Party candidates!  Each day 
your support becomes more and more crucial.  Here are several ways you can help:

•  Volunteer:  get in touch with the nearest community coordinator to find out 
what’s going on in your town.  Call Michael Gainer, our field organizer, at 617-
623-4733, to find out contact information

•  Organize standouts if they’re not already happening in your town.  Get some 
Green supporters together to hold signs and hand out flyers for an hour or two 
in a busy area at a busy time of day.

•  Put up a yard sign.  E-mail Vanessa at jamesokeefe.org with “yard signs” as the 
subject or stop by the office in Davis Square.

•  Put an ad in your local newspaper.  You can create your own, or you can 
download an ad from the website: www.jamesokeefe.org.

•  Send money!  We depend solely on contributions from supporters to run this 
campaign.  If you haven’t already donated up to $100, please consider 
contributing more!  

•  Word of mouth is a simple and extremely effective way to spread our 
message.  Tell your friends, family, co-workers, ANYONE about Jamie’s 
candidacy.   Help us get out the vote!

2.  ALTERNATIVE ENERGY CONVOY
---------------------------------------------------------------

This weekend, a group of people in alternative energy vehicles
will be piling into their cars and embarking on a statewide trek to raise 
awareness about the need to convert to alternative energy sources like 
biodiesel and electric power for automobiles.  Jamie will be participating in 
it on Saturday, Oct 26th.  It starts at 9:30am at the Fenway Star Market 
parking lot, Boylston St. and Kilmarnock in Boston.  They will be stopping in 
Eastern Mass, Cambridge, Lexington, Leominster, Orange and Greenfield.  If you 
have an electric car, a hybrid, or a diesel car that you can fill with 
biodiesel, join us and add to the convoy!  Contact the Jill Stein campaign for 
more details: 617-623-4733.
