Hi There,

My suggestion is to wait on this.  I am a member of MoveOn and  although 
they sure do get people out for these discussions most everyone is a  Democrat 
and I'm not so sure the local Council would be pleased to have the  Green 
Party handing out information about an event that is not a MoveOn  event.  I 
know the co-chair of the local MoveOn Council and I think it is  better to 
contact her, get her interested in what we are presenting at our Town  Hall 
and ask her to contact her list of people and spread the word that  way.  

Also, someone from our Green Party could go to this MoveOn  discussion and 
talk to the individual people who are there.  I have  found this kind of 
networking to be very successful.  Unfortunately, I  am involved with a San 
Jose Peace Center event and can't go to the MoveOn  discussion.

Can we prepare some kind of announcement of our  May 22 Food For Thought 
event ready to hand to this group by Tuesday  evening?  

Could we first try to contact the  organizers for this event to see if the 
would permit us to distribute,  e.g., half page fliers with a preliminary 
announcement plus bookmarks  with minimal detail?  

Below please find draft text  for an announcement.  We need to add to this 
a link to "_www.cagreens.org/santaclara_ 
(http://www.cagreens.org/santaclara) ".  I can draft a  bookmark
