[Sosfbay-discuss] FYI Fwd: Democratic San Diego Convention Schedule Correction

[JamBoi]

FYI, news from 'over the fence' from the progressive Dems.  This is
from a progressive Democrat Jeeni Criscenzo who ran for congress in '06
in So. CA with support from the group Progressive Democrats for America
(PDA, which has some Greens who participate, most noteably Medea
Benjamin). ... Note that Medea Benjamin will be addressing some PDA
folks there.

Green Means Go!
