1.  JAMES DISTINGUISHES HIMSELF AS ONLY TRUE PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE
--------------------------------------------

Now that the primaries are over, it is clear that James O’Keefe is the only 
true progressive candidate for Massachusetts State Treasurer.  Neither the 
Democratic nor the Republican candidate supports socially and ecologically 
responsible investments or investing in local Massachusetts communities.  
Jamie’s platform focuses on issues that promote democracy, social justice, and 
the environment.  Check out James’ platform at 
http://www.jamesokeefe.org/issues.  He's also the only candidate following 
Clean Elections guidelines for campaign contributions, so as State Treasurer, 
his hands won’t tied to big donors.  

-----------------
2.  HOST A HOUSE PARTY!
-----------------

We need people to host house parties so that we can raise money, gain some more 
volunteers, and have a good time!  It's also a great way for Jamie to connect 
with the community and hear peoples' concerns.  Give the office a call if you'd 
like to host party at your house or apartment.  For more information on hosting 
a house party, see 
http://www.jamesokeefe.org/GetInvolved/actions/houseparty.html

--------------------------------
3.  QUESTION & ANSWER ON WEBSITE
--------------------------------

We encourage everyone to visit the "Ask James" link on the website and 
participate in some discussions.  Ask any questions you have concerning 
campaign issues, and James will get back to you.

-------------------
4. REGISTER TO VOTE
-------------------

Be sure to register with the Greens to show our growing party support.  You

Elections on November 5th.
