It is now official that as of February 10, 2003, the last statewide voter registration cutoff, the Peace and Freedom Party had obtained 79,462 registrations. This is 2,143 more than we needed to requalify for the ballot, so we have made it (although by the skin of our teeth).
Now the task is to build the party into an effective opposition to the bipartisan policies of war, environmental degradation, privileges for the rich, and union-busting.
We will have a victory party on Saturday, February 23, from 7:30 till 9:30 at our State Central Committee meeting in Oakland.
The address is:
Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library
6501 Telegraph Avenue (one block north of Alcatraz Ave.)
Oakland
Please come join us in celebrating if you're in the area. It's bring your own bottle (although we will have cake and some bubbly as well).
