$25 puts the Voter Guide in front of more than 75 Arizona voters.

Thank you for reading the letter. Here is the short version.

Your ballot is on the way. Prop 318 is one line on it. Vote yes, mail it back the day it arrives, and hand your Arizona Voter Guide to a neighbor. That part is free, and it is the part that matters most.

Here is the part that costs something.

Voter Guides are already on their way to homes throughout Arizona because friends like you paid for them. Not one of them was paid for by somebody rich. They were paid for by Arizonans sending what they could. There are more households we can still reach before November 3. After that, the ballots will already be counted.

A gift of $25 puts the Voter Guide in front of more than 75 additional Arizona voters before they fill theirs out.

And if this is not the season you are in, please do not worry about it for one minute. Vote yes on Prop 318, pass your Voter Guide on, and you have already done the part that matters most. I mean that.

Here is what I keep picturing. A Saturday morning two springs from now. Same girl, same scraped knees, same early bus. Nobody is in court about her. The roster spot she earned is hers, and it stays hers. A soccer field in Gilbert. A track in Yuma. A volleyball court in Flagstaff. Ordinary mornings, because nothing went wrong.

Somebody paid for the Voter Guide in your hands. You can do the same for somebody you will never meet. That is my favorite part of this.
