Sorry for late response. Hopefully you didn't wait
and went ahead and and sent out what you had (maybe
with Carol's help???) I don't have any time to help
unfortunately, but I fully support what you're doing
and am fine with you putting a Santa Clara Green Party
endorsement on this (I'm confident our County Council
would/will approve). Also the SVIC would approve this
too!
Impeach for Peace!
