County Councilors and Contacts,
Please let me know if this has been discussed and the outcome in YOUR 
COUNTY!! I sent this to you March 10.
 
Please take this to your County Council meetings and/or online 
discussion and indicate if you wish to be included, and let me know 
ASAP. *This is simply a letter of intent, which is due to the Green 
Party of the US by April 15.* A real proposal with lodging, logistics, 
prices, etc. is due June 15. We are seeking appropriate venues. There is 
no financial obligation expected by this intent, or by any eventual 
commitment,; but some intent to provide volunteers and support as this 
moves forward.
The National Party will provide deposit money, and will also hire one or 
more local people as Event Coordinators.
 
*WOULD YOU LIKE TO have the Presidential Nominating Committee here, 
locally, in our back yards?? Let's show them what an organized Green 
Party can do!!*
 
The Green National Committee will vote on all proposals from different 
states sometime after June 15, and choose the 2008 Presidential 
Convention locale. The convention is expected to be in June 2008. It 
occurs to me we might get the best rate if we could go with Memorial Day 
weekend.
 
To County Councils of:
San Francisco
Alameda
Marin
San Mateo
Santa Clara
Sonoma
Solano
Contra Costa
Napa (is there?)
Santa Cruz
Am I missing any counties??
 
*Proposal:*
*The Green Parties of the San Francisco Bay Area (will be named), in 
conjunction with the Green Party of California, hereby state our intent 
to Host the 2008 National Presidential Convention in our region. We are 
particularly focused on San Francisco or Oakland, with major media 
markets, good conference facilities, public transportation, and easy 
access for local greens and all interested people to come in off the 
street to our events.*
 
Thank you,
Leslie Bonett, Oakland
Green National Committee Delegate
