Dear Fellow Republicans,
 
Republicans in San Francisco are a hardy bunch.  With our usually very left leaning government officials, it would be easy to be discouraged, but even with the GOP loss at the top of the ticket on November 4^th, we have reason for optimism in San Francisco.  Our work is far from complete, but allow me to bring a few encouraging points of analysis to your attention.

Reviewing the decisions of the voters regarding the San Francisco ballot propositions, one can see that, contrary to popular opinion, the far left has not completely taken over the city.  While there were a number of disappointments in the results, the voters of San Francisco agreed with the recommendation of the San Francisco Republican Party on 50% of the issues. 

For the past two and one-half years, members of the San Francisco Board of Education have been locked in a battle with 1600 high school JROTC students and all seven principals, parent school organizations, student council and student alumnae groups representing the interests of these students.  As a result of the passage of Proposition V and the election of new school board members on November 4^th, moderates in San Francisco have an opportunity to reverse the devastation done to the JROTC program.

The San Francisco Republican Party provided recommendations on 21 of the 22 local propositions and two of the state propositions.  San Francisco voters followed 50% of those recommendations on the local propositions.  Statewide, the two propositions backed by SFGOP (1A and 11) passed.  Find the complete results here.
