VOTER GUIDE 2000

PHELPS PHAMILY
PHOR OPHICE

December 2000 Revision 651.459.7680

Dear Phriends and Phamily,

Due to the confusion caused by our country’s latest election, we know that many of you may be feeling that your vote, or your candidate or party, is not getting the attention deserved.

If you would like to consider re-voting, we ask that you 1. Call your congressman, 2. Read the attached Phelps Phamily Voter Guide 2000 for some additional outstanding candidates that you may want to consider writing in, and 3. Feel free to make up your own chad-free ballot and return it before December 31 for tabulation.

The official headquarters of this grass roots movement remains in Cottage Grove. We realize this is a surprise to many of you who will be astonished to find that the Phelps can remain in the same house for greater than two years at a time. Please note that our home/headquarters is open to all, regardless of your political affiliations.
