[Sosfbay-discuss] [Fwd: [GPCA Official Notice] JOIN A NATIONAL COMMITTEE!!]

[JamBoi]

Hello Greens,

Wes Rowley (EcoAction Committee, and Rural Caucus), Cameron
Spitzer(supports the whole technical infrastructure) and I (Drew Johson
member of Media, Outreach, Dispute Resolution Committees, the Disabled
Caucus and observer to Peace Action Committee, ) are the only ones I'm
aware of in the GPSC that particpate on national Committees.  As I told
Warner I'd prefer it if there were so many that wanted to participate
there was a lengthy waiting list and that it was out of the question to
be a member of 3 Committees as I'm am.  I can not emphasize enough how
much of a a golden opportunity for someone to make a difference
nationally! 

As the annoucement notes people of color, women and the disabled are
especially needed to represent a more diverse set of inputs.  Many of
the GP-US Committees and Caucuses are in much need for new input and
energy, so please step up and participate if you have any inkling to do
so at all.  

Impeach for Peace!

Drew

are strongly encouraging members of those groups to apply.
