Please join Pete McCloskey: Yes on Prop 15
Return Integrity to Our Political Process
at the home of Ruth Anne & Walter Bortz 167 Bolivar Lane Portola Valley, CA 94028
from 4:00 to 6:00 pm
Memorial Day, Monday, May 31st
for Hors d'Oeuvres, wine & an inspiring discussion with
former Congressman Pete McCloskey
as he explains why Proposition 15 on the June 8th ballot gives us a once in a generation opportunity to take back our democracy by getting special-interest money out of California elections. “Yes on 15” is an essential first step to set in motion a process that allows qualified candidates to run for office without having to raise money from special-interests and Fat Cat donors.
There is no more entertaining and engaging speaker than Pete McCloskey. Of unquestioned integrity, Pete has long fought against the influence of Big Money in politics. Pete McCloskey co-chaired the first Earth Day (1970); co-authored the Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act. A Korean War hero, he worked tirelessly to stop the Vietnam War and, as a Republican, was the first member of Congress – of either party – to call for Richard Nixon’s impeachment. He is not to be missed!
You'll also hear directly from Trent Lange, chair of the Yes on Proposition 15 campaign

“Yes on 15” is our best hope of reforming our political system. Unfortunately professional lobbyists and Fat Cats, who make their living off the current corrupt system, are fighting hard to defeat Prop 15. They are spending big in an effort to defeat this vital reform measure. We need to counter them.
Please give as generously you can to “Yes on 15” without delay. If average citizens, like us, who care about our state and open government step up to the plate now, we can take back our state—and our political process—from the moneyed special interests and lobbyists. If we devote resources at this time we can put in place reforms that will protect our democracy for years to come—and save us an untold amount of money in the future!
We must not let this extraordinary opportunity slip away. There is no limit on what you may contribute—any amount will go a long way in helping get the message out:
$50 suggested minimum donation $100 recommended donation $500 Fair Elections Fighter donation $2,000 Hero of Democracy donation
Please be as generous as possible because right now your contribution will be doubled; the California Nurses Association will match all “Yes on 15” donations up to a total of $50,000!
