[Sosfbay-discuss] Green PAC?

[Edward]

There's a national version of this called Green Change. Their website is www.greenchange.org



They are not a PAC but a 527.



My only concern is that this sounds like it would undermine our committment to no corporate etc. funding.

I think its an idea that's long overdue.  I'd make it at LEAST Santa
Clara
Co though.


Green is Connection!
