[Sosfbay-discuss] Last night's successful protest at SVGOP showing ""Inconvenient Truth or Convenient Fiction"

[JamBoi]

I totally concur with Tian.  Fred, Merriam, Tian and I
showed up and with our impeachment and Don't Be
Fuelish signs and presence protested our counterparts
in the SCC Republican party.  We even got to talk to
their speaker,  Joshua S. Treviño  who had the gaul to
represent the "Global Warming's not the crisis Gore's
cracking it up to be" point of view.  Nice guy
personally, but just totally off-base.  Totally.  He
was trying to defend nuclear power even!

Anyway we had fun, connected with lots of supporters
and gave the Repubs some hell.  Did the Dems
protest??? No there were only Greens present at the
protest!!!

Greens lead the way!

We had a great time protesting the Republicans in
Sunnyvale. I was surprised by how much support we got
from passers by. One couple gave us $20. Lots of
others stopped to talk to us. At the end of the
evening we ended up spending face time with a couple
of ex Republican Candidates and the evening's speaker.

Some of the activists who worked hard at dumping Pombo
wanted to stay together. I got this notification out
on the existing email list. Some of them are in
Silicon Valley, Palo Alto, etc.
