Clean Elections Meeting Notice

May 2, 2006

Dear Clean Elections Supporters,

As many of you know, while the legislature did not pass a Clean Elections bill during the 2006 session, we edged our way closer than in any previous session. Thanks to all of you for your continued and valuable support to help pass this progressive legislation.

Included in this e-mail are three lists of legislators—our known supporters, those who oppose the measure, and some whose stance is not clear at this time. This list is not comprehensive. We hope that you will distribute this information to your members with the hopes of creating dialogue about Clean Elections between now and the November elections at “Meet the Candidates” and other political forums. Also feel free to pass it along to other groups or people who may be interested.

If you or members of your group need talking points about the Clean Elections concept, don’t forget to refer to our website at: www.wvoter-owned.org You can find fact sheets, news stories and reports that may be helpful.

Our next Clean Elections meeting will be held: May 17, 10:30 a.m. - noon at the ACT Foundation, located at 600 Leon Sullivan Way, Charleston, WV (across from the Capitol Market). Please send agenda items to me by Monday, May 15th. Light refreshments will be served.

For the public interest,

Janet, Clean Elections coordinator
