* EVERYONE BE SURE TO WEAR YOUR GREEN PARTY BUTTONS AT ALL EVENTS.
* WE HAVE MADE SPECIAL GREEN PARTY LAWN SIGNS TO BE CARRIED BY EACH GP MEMBER IN DEMONSTRATIONS
For most of the demonstrations, we have special holders so that the Green Party signs can be carried with one hand. This should work
well for all but one of the demonstrations. We will have them at the State Fair booth by Saturday. People can buy the signs with holders
for $10 and have them forever .. or there will be volunteers to hand them out before each of the listed demonstrations and collect them at the end.
Everyone will be able to purchase them on sight before the demonstrations - Just bring a $10 bill.The demonstration on the 1st of September has special rules, and we can not use the metal sign holders. So all GP people will just need to
carry them without the holders. When you get tired, you can rest and carry it by your side. When you have the strength,
you can hold it up with both hands.* THERE WILL BE LEAFLETING AND TABLING AT CERTAIN EVENTS.
We will have three main handouts for leafleting and our tables.
1. 'Where We Stand' leaflets
2. Green card - 'The Green Party: A Real Difference' which compares the Green Party on specific issues with the Republicans and Democrats.
3. Short leaflet (hopefully written by Dave Bicking?) about why NOW IS THE HOUR to vote Green.Should someone volunteer to table, other GP lit is fine to bring. (i.e. candidate info etc.)
