Dear Fellow Republicans,
 
How much time have you set aside to educate yourself on the candidates and ballot measures included in the November 4^th ballot?  I hope you don’t have anything else to do and plan to devote a week or so to this cause.  Maybe you can take a week of vacation from your work!

The November ballot in San Francisco will be crowded and complex, with voters facing a total of 34(!) state and local ballot propositions, in addition to all of the elected offices.  While some of our local propositions are nothing more than frivolous grandstanding by publicity seeking politicians, several propositions will have significant impact on the quality of life in San Francisco.  In this issue of SF Republican, we bring three of our local propositions to your attention.  Future issues will highlight additional propositions.

The San Francisco Republican Party has evaluated all of the November 4th local ballot propositions.  Find the complete guide to the SFRP proposition recommendations and candidate endorsements here.

Ed Sheppard, who moved to San Francisco two-years ago, is a proud supporter of Senator McCain.  You will always find Ed wearing either a McCain shirt or button.  He enjoys engaging in political discussions because it is a great way to find other San Franciscans who are overjoyed to find a like-minded thinker and others who are willing to debate in a civil manner.  In two years, Ed has only encountered one “open-minded” individual who tried to take a bite out of Ed’s forearm because he did not agree with his politics.
