I think we need to do more visible things to engage people. Liability insurance aside, I think going out and raking leaves with a sign that says "The Green Party Cares" or doing Adopt a Highway or picketing gas stations (whatever happened to that plan?) or wearing Green Party shirts while we clean up a beach or park--and trying to get some media coverage while we do these things--will get us a lot more votes and voters than sitting around talking.

Based on today's  SF Chronicle's vote counts of the California U.S House

of Reps. and State Assembly election, I did some totaling - with a 
possible  17%  margin of error. (As yet, no one has checked my arithmetic.)

 > The total number of votes the five California Green Party candidates 
received was 44,612.
   The average was 8,922.

 > The Libertarian Party's twenty one candidates received 240,227 
votes.  They averaged       
    11,438 votes,

 > The Peace and Freedom Party's five candidates received a total of 
35,015. They averaged
    7,003.

 > The two Independents  (Cindy Sheehan and Thomas Lash) received a 
total of 64,793 votes.
    Their average was 32,397.

 > The total number of Independent  and "Third Party" votes  was
384,647.

 > The Libertarian party garnered about 62% of the non-DemoRepub votes.

What can the Green Party of California deduce from these statistics?
