1. At first glance I thought you were saying Chase Bank was promoting this.

I'd still be suspect of them if they were.

With thousands of votes left to count, Seattle Proposition 1, the public financing proposition that will help get money out of politics, is getting closer and closer.
We need all hands on deck to make sure that Prop. 1 passes. We are chasing down the thousands of ballots that have been challenged because of signature problems. Please consider helping us out.

RSVP to one of the events on Fair Elections Seattle's Facebook page or email Rory O'Sullivan for more information: [e-mail].

We will be at 654 South Jackson Street from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

I almost never say this, but we need to be able to spread out across the city to chase down these contested ballots, so bring a car if possible.

Thanks for considering it, we would really appreciate your support.

- Mike

Thank you for helping to get money out of politics!Between now and November 24, we will reach out in person to Seattle voters who are likely to be supporters of Prop. 1 and whose ballots have not yet been counted. Our home base will be 654 South Jackson St during this weekend, 11/23 - 11/24.

Volunteer expectations: Previous experience as a ballot chaser is NOT needed! Volunteers will get a simple training, and information about specific voters' names and addresses. You supply 2+ hours of your time and a desire to make sure that big money doesn't drive our city's policies. (Oh yes, also: a vehicle and a smart phone help).

Please sign up for roughly the time you will be available, if it is not exactly one of these two hour blocks, just sign up for the hours that are closest to the ones you will be available.The more volunteers we have, the more votes we can chase down - so bring a friend and join us!
