WE WON!
Thursday, November 04, 2010
I went to the party at the Public House where Arnold and George Schultz gave their victory speeches. They talked about defeating Texas on Monday in the Worlds Series (yay SF!), and then defeating them again on Tuesday in the election. There was lots of cheering.Some facts:
- No on 23 won by a vote of 61% t0 39%, a huge margin
- More people voted on Prop23 than voted in any of the candidate races, including senator and governor
- In the 6 weeks before the election, we (Sierra Club's 10 organizers and the volunteers we were able to recruit) made over 300,000 dials and talked to 63,000 people about Prop23 over the phone.
Man, that's going on my resume.
