If you're like us, you're fed up with
meaningless soundbites
and political campaigns waged through 30-second TV spots.
Now you can do something about it!
Want to help the California Voter Foundation?
Weâll get straight to the point:
SEND MONEY!!
Would you believe the entire CVF staff consists of two full-time employees? Itâs
true! CVF works on an operating budget of less than $200,000 a year. We succeed in
delivering all of this great information because we make a point of collaborating
with other organizations to maximize our resources. We also contract with consultants
for some of our services, like technological support, accounting, and public relations.
But we need to hire more staff to take full advantage of the enormous potential
the Internet offers to revolutionize the way politics is practiced in this state
and nation. We are planning to hire a full-time technologist and fundraiser/membership
director in the Summer of 1998, but FIRST we need to raise the funds needed to staff
these positions and create two new additional workstations.
Once we have funded and filled these two positions, CVF will launch our membership
and affiliates program, which is designed to provide an ongoing source of revenue
for CVF that will ensure we can continue to provide the public with Internet access
to election and government information for many years to come.
You can help make this dream come true! Your tax-deductible contribution will
help secure CVFâs long-term sustainability. CVF also accepts in-kind contributions.
Please contribute whatever you can - $50, $100, $250, $500 - to CVF. If your employer
has a charitable giving program, you can also help CVF by encouraging your employer
to make a contribution.
Remember, all contributions to CVF are
TAX-DEDUCTIBLE!
Donât delay!

HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT
THE 1998 CALIFORNIA ONLINE VOTER GUIDE!
You can help publicize CVFâs voter guide in several ways:
 Use this publicity blurb.
Here's a short publicity blurb you can use to help publicize our site:
The 1998 California Online Voter Guide is a nonpartisan web site packed with election
information and designed to give voters the tools they need to make informed decisions
at the polls. The site can be found on the Internet at http://www.calvoter.org.
On June 2, California voters will cast ballots in 52 congressional races, 100 state
legislative races and nine statewide office races, in addition to making decisions
on nine ballot measures and numerous local issues and races. The California Online
Voter Guide helps voters sort it all out and provides quick access to vital election
information and more than 160 campaign links in a useful, time-saving format. The
California Online Voter Guide is produced by the California Voter Foundation, a nonprofit,
nonpartisan organization dedicated to applying new technologies to provide the public
with access to the information needed to participate in public life in a meaningful
way.
