=o= Below are the San Francisco Green Party's endorsements
for the upcoming election.  As a staunch proponent of the
Green value of direct grassroots democracy, I'm listing the
propositions before the candidates; and in keeping with the
Green values of decentralization and community-based economics,
I'm listing the candidates in order from local to national.
Yep, the big surprise President/Vice President endorsement is
listed last!

NOTE:  I find it a bit incomplete for the S.F. Green Party to
support 208 but to have "no position" on 212.  The main reason
they support 208 is that it doesn't have the flaws that 212
has, which could in some cases weaken campaign finance reform.
However, if 212 receives more votes than 208, the flaws could
override provisions in 208.  It seems to me that to really
support 208, you've got to oppose 212.  -- Jym
