SB CAN recommends Oil Issues: A Citizen's Guide - for those who are undecided about Measure P
Santa Barbara County Action Network is pleased to post "Oil Issues: A Citizen's Guide," a report prepared by one of our members, Jane Baxter.
SB CAN staff finds the report compelling because it documents so many reasons why we need to support Measure P.
It is long--49 pages--but you don't need to read it all at once. By all means, don't stop phone banking and knocking on doors, but do read this in your spare time and you will find many nuggets of information that will help you in your conversations with undecided potential voters.
You can find this report on SB CAN's website at www.sbcan.org or by clicking here.Please send the report to your undecided friends or direct them to the SB CAN website.Here is Jane's Author's Note:

Join Us at Measure P Rally in Santa Maria
Santa Barbara County Action Network invites you to join Measure P supporters for a rally tomorrow, Wednesday, October 22 at noon in front of Santa Maria City Hall at Broadway and Cook Street.
If you live in South County, tell your North County friends about it.The Yes on Measure P 2014 Committee says:
We will stand together to tell Big Oil that they cannot buy this election! Chevron, Exxon and several other oil companies have poured $6 million into our opponents' campaign, spreading misinformation about Measure P. This might turn out to be the most expensive local ballot measure campaign ever, anywhere!Who will stand with us to say, 'No thank you Big Oil! You can spend all the money in the world, but you can't fool us. We know that we need Measure P to protect our water, health and our beautiful county from the risks of extreme oil extraction! Vote Yes on Measure P!'Wear your shirts (or bright blue), bring your signs and your families and friends!Looking forward to seeing you all soon! -
