[Sosfbay-discuss] Michael Berg & Gayle McLaughlin; A conversation about forgiveness, the politics of hate and what to do next

[Susan King]

FYI, Michael Berg and Krissy Keefer are doing an event in SF here  
tonight (in a few hours...), we have been getting media calls.

Krissy was featured on Channel 2 last night, as a counter point to  
Nancy Pelosi's New Direction for America (staged) event in SF. Krissy  
pointed out that the invasion of Lebanon is making more enemies for  
both Israel and the US. The reporter, Randy Shandobil, concluded the  
report by saying that the situation in the Middle East was a major  
issue, and neither major party has taken a position on it.

Good coverage for the Greens, and for Krissy's campaign.

Erika and I can report back on what kind of coverage we get tonight.

pecae,
