YESTERDAY'S SIERRA CLUB BALLOTS INACCURATE!! Only vote for 3!

Sorry to message you again so quickly, but the local Sierra Club ballots arrived yesterday and they were printed wrong by the current local Club leadership:

First, they look like junk mail, but please don't recycle them. You have to mail the ballot itself back by Jan. 12.

Second, the ballots inaccurately state that you can vote for 4 candidates; there are ONLY 3 SEATS OPEN!!
Please mark your ballots ONLY for POSNER, MORGAN and McGUIRK. Ballots with more than 3 votes will likely be invalidated.

Micah Posner, Bob Morgan and Steve McGuirk are the challengers most committed to fighting climate change and carbon emissions, and to supporting the rail trail. Let's get it built quickly and stop further frivolous lawsuits and delays. Note that the rail trail has been unanimously approved by the "old" and "new" City Councils, the County, and the Coastal Commission.

This slate is endorsed by

PS - The incumbents are fine activists on other enviornmental issues, but their support for the current Club leadership has led to multiple delays, lawsuits and cost increases for the Westside Trail and the Trestle Bridge.  We need our local Sierra Club to fully embrace the national Club priority of fighting climate change and carbon emissiones.
