Tue Mar 27 11:32:50 PDT 2007

Sanda Everett said they were up to something like 22 but if the GPCA
proposal passes they'll need between 36 and 42, so we NEED more of
y'all to participate.  Come on y'all its fun!  Who's going to join me
for a trip to the National Annual Meeting in Reading Pennsylvania uly
12-15, 2007 http://gp.org/press/pr_2007_02_06b.shtml

Hint: The Bay Area Green Parties are planning to put in a bid to hold
the 2008 Nominating Convention HERE in the SF Bay Area!!! So get
involved now to help make this happen. :-)

Impeach for Peace!
