Dear California Greens,

Green state come December 12-22.  As you may know,
Jared is one of the Green Party presidential
candidates who will appear on our primary ballot.

Jared or host one of his Capital Resistance events,
please read the following announcement.
Then you can contact his manager, Head Roc at
301-891-3095 or email him at noys25 at head-roc.com.
Jared will be joining the Los Angeles Greens on Dec.

Thanks!

______________________________________________________________

Anchored somewhat on the planned visit to be at the LA
Greens meeting/holiday party on 12/19, we are asking
all California Greens truly interested in uniting and
building our wonderful Party, to please consider
organizing and/or hosting one of our
Capitol Resistance styled campaign events in the city
they live.

Attached are specs containing the basic details of
what it takes to
produce one of our Capitol Resistance styled outreach
events that you can share. The recent success of our
Chicago visit over the past weekend, as part of our
Illinois GP outreach/fundraiser/ballot petition
campaign, endorses the practicality, cost
effectiveness, and immense benefit to Greens who take
on the task of organizing and promoting a Capitol
Resistance event. In fact, the hype around our arrival
in Chicago was such that Greens from Wisconsin came
from hours away to witness and be apart of the Capitol
Resistance experience. So, for those in California who
are skeptical, we can absolutely provide references
from reputable and notable Greens in both states (IL
and WI).

I should say that at the Illinois GP meeting in
Crystal Lake we were
able to link up with Cali's own GP Presidential
candidate Kent Mesplay, where we easily managed to
incorporate him into our program's presentation.  The
same can be done for California Green candidates
running for all levels of public office.
