     REPORT: Double Your Green campaign succeeds!
 
<http://www.jillstein.org/funding?e=eaaf08bb388e2f3499dc2fa3c4a7e838a5096382&utm_source=jillstein&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jul1success&n=1&recruiter_id=45937>

We are very proud to announce that Jill Stein is the first ever Green
Party presidential candidate, and as of July 1st, the only 2012
progressive presidential candidate, to secure the necessary public
support to qualify for federal matching funds!

The Stein campaign has released a semi-final report of donations raised
in its Double Your Green
<http://www.jillstein.org/double_your_green?e=eaaf08bb388e2f3499dc2fa3c4a7e838a5096382&utm_source=jillstein&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jul1success&n=2&recruiter_id=45937> 
campaign,
as follows below
<http://www.jillstein.org/funding?e=eaaf08bb388e2f3499dc2fa3c4a7e838a5096382&utm_source=jillstein&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jul1success&n=3&recruiter_id=45937>. 
Tomorrow,
July 2nd, Dr. Stein will issue a statement regarding the importance of
this victory.

Matching funds map

*The first $250 donated by any adult citizen or legal resident is
counted* by the Federal Election Commission as a qualifying donation,
and *will be doubled* once the Stein campaign's application for matching
funds has been approved. To gain approval, the campaign must demonstrate
that it has raised at least $5000 in qualifying donations in each of at
least 20 states.

*Donations
<http://www.jillstein.org/donate?e=eaaf08bb388e2f3499dc2fa3c4a7e838a5096382&utm_source=jillstein&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jul1success&n=4&recruiter_id=45937> 
in
states that have already qualified are still welcome,* not only for
their own sake, but more importantly because they provide a margin of
safety to ensure that the Stein campaign is approved for matching funds.
Additionally, once we have been approved, every dollar donated up to
$250 per donor will be matched, regarding of the state of residency of
that donor (if you live in Wyoming, your donation will be matched).

*The following table (below
<http://www.jillstein.org/funding?e=eaaf08bb388e2f3499dc2fa3c4a7e838a5096382&utm_source=jillstein&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jul1success&n=5&recruiter_id=45937>) 

shows cumulative qualifying donations ($250 or less) per state. *As of
July 1st, 2012, 22 states had passed the threshold. These states
are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Florida, Illinois,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico,
New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennylvania, Texas, Virginia,
Washington, and Wisconsin.

For the record, the list below shows only 21 'states' with over $5,000 
contributed so far:  They get 22 by counting DC.  (They mention Wyoming, 
which is so far the only state in the union with a contribution recorded.)

Yes well for federal matching funds DC is treated as a state and besides which the Green Party is pushing for statehood for DC. :-)

Very good news!  

The total raised is about $150,000.  That's pathetic when you consider that if our 
100,000 California Greens gave $10 each we'd have a million dollars.  We've got
to do better than this.  Dr. Stein is a very credible and viable candidate who 
well represents the party.  (I'll probably never forgive Ms. McKinney for throwing 
away her credibility just before the 2008 election by claiming on the flimsiest of 
evidence that thousands of people had been executed after Katrina.)

Dr. Stein's writeup is still very confusing.  http://www.jillstein.org/funding

If I'm oversensitive to this it's because I get a hell of a lot of fundraising requests
just on account of my zipcode, and because I have worked many years with a 
cash-strapped organization, AE911Truth, that is accused by its lying detractors of 
being a money-raising scam.   With Dr. Stein's campaign, any vagueness and 
confusion connected to fundraising matters is going to be discomfortable for 
experienced folks.

Yeah! We did it! First time ever for a Green Party presidential candidate. Yes it's a very modest accomplishment, but the fact it's the first time ever (including the Nader 96 and 2000 campaigns) tells us its not a pushover. Now the next goal we've yet to break is the 5% popular vote mark which would provide the party matching funds in the following presidential election cycle.? BTW Brian, I didn't see the page as confusing - makes sense to me.

A few of you may remember the polemic below from a year ago -- updated 
with footnotes.  Enjoy.  Spencer


*I Pledge Allegiance to Liberty and Justice for All *


I pledge allegiance to liberty and justice for all, not restricted to 
the flag of the United States of America nor to the republic for which 
it stands, because when we allow that restriction, we give license to 
media executives and politicians to support state terror 
internationally. Without US troops in Saudi Arabia, the suicide mass 
murders of September 11, 2001 would not have occurred.^1 
<#sdfootnote1sym> If the US had not given weapons of mass destruction to 
Saddam Hussein in the 1980s, he could not plausibly have had them in 
2002.^2 <#sdfootnote2sym> US actions against democracy in countries 
around the world convinced generations of third world politicians that 
the US would not allow them put the interests of their people above the 
concerns of US multinational businesses.^3 <#sdfootnote3sym> I know of 
no major enemy the US has other than ones we have earned by opposing 
liberty and justice for all. I pledge allegiance to liberty and justice 
for all.

1 <#sdfootnote1anc>Thousands of articles and hundreds of books have been 
written on the suicide mass murders of Sept. 11, 2001. The overwhelming 
majority rearrange popular nostrums without any substantive empirical 
grounding. Two summarize serious, relevant research: Robert A. Pape 
(2005) /Dying to Win /(Random House) created a database of 315 incidents 
of suicide terrorism 1980 - 2003. All but 14 were classified as part of 
one of 18 different campaigns by 10 different organization, which shared 
two features: Opposition to a foreign occupation by a democracy. All but 
one (the Kurds in Turkey) had a different religion from the occupiers. 
The suicide mass murders of Sept. 11 contain all 3 of these elements. 
(Wikipedia, "Dying to Win", accessed 2012.07.02.)

2 <#sdfootnote2anc>Wikipedia, "The Riegle Report", accessed 2012.07.02.

3 <#sdfootnote3anc>This claim is so different from the dominant 
narrative disseminated by the mainstream commercial media in the US that 
it requires the introduction of substantial evidence. This footnote 
briefly discusses one example, Cuba, then cites sources that provide 
overviews of many other cases. Regarding Cuba, the US had 60 years from 
the end of the Spanish-American War, 1898, to the Cuban Revolution of 
1959 to instill a culture of freedom and democracy there. Instead, 
through the 1930s, each Cuban government that displayed more concern 
about the well-being of their own citizens than US business interests 
was overthrown by a US troops (Wikipedia, "Cuba--United States 
relations", accessed 2012.07.04). In the 1930s, the US began supporting 
a Cuban military leader, Fulgencio Batista, who responded appropriately 
to US dictates. Batista decided to hold an election in 1952. When polls 
indicated he would lose, he canceled the elections -- and was 
immediately recognized as the head of state by Harry Truman's 
administration. Fidel Castro was a candidate for congress in those 
elections. (Wikipedia, "Fidel Castro", accessed 2012.07.03) Meanwhile, 
Che Guevara was involved in the democratically elected Arbenz regime in 
Guatemala, which was overthrown by a CIA-assisted coup in 1954 
(Wikipedia, "Che Guevara"). A similar coup destroyed democracy in Iran 
in 1953 (Wikipedia, "1953 Iranian coup d'?tat"). And elections scheduled 
for 1956 in Vietnam were canceled when US President Eisenhower concluded 
that the Communist Ho Chi Minh would get 80 percent of the vote (Dwight 
David Eisenhower, 1963, /The White House Years: Mandate for Change/, 
Doubleday, ch. XIV. Chaos in Indochina). From these events, it 
understandable that someone like Castro might conclude that the US would 
not permit democracy to exist in Cuba. This evaluation of US foreign 
policy since the founding of the republic is bolstered by numerous other 
works based on declassified US government documents, reports of 
congressional committees, and articles written by public officials and 
government employees, many after they had left government and other 
seemingly reputable and authoritative sources. One is Noam Chomsky 
(2006) /Failed States /(Metropolitan), which discusses "Thomas 
Carothers, who identifies his stand as neo-Reaganite. ... Carothers 
found a 'strong line of continuity' running through all administrations 
in the post-Cold War era ... .: 'Where democracy appears to fit in well 
with US security and economic interests, the United States promotes 
democracy. Where democracy clashes with other significant interests, it 
is downplayed or even ignored.'" (pp. 149-150) Carothers is troubled by 
this "inconsistent" support for democracy, missing the obvious 
/consistency/in support for "security and economic" interests, i.e., US 
international business interests. (Carothers, 2004, /Critical Mission/, 
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, pp. 7, 42) See also William 
R. Polk (2007) /Violent Politics: A History of Insurgency, Terrorism, & 
Guerilla War, from the American Revolution ti Iraq /(Harper) and William 
Blum (2004) /Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions since World 
War II /(Common Courage Press). This tradition extends earlier 
traditions in Britain and elsewhere of governments supporting a local 
aristocracy at the expense of everyone else (David Graeber, 2011, /Debt: 
The First 5,000 Years/, MelvilleHouse). It includes, for example, the 
decision by President Washington to send US tax money to plantation 
owners in Haiti (then called St. Domingue) to help them suppress a slave 
rebellion during the French Revolution (Wikipedia, "George Washington 
and slavery"). This history is understandable from Tip O'Neill's comment 
that "All politics is local" (Wikipedia, "All politics is local") with 
the understanding that the primary constituency for foreign policy is 
people with substantive business interests outside the country, because 
foreign policy is "local" for them. The general public hears very little 
that is contrary to the short term perceived interests of major 
advertisers, because the media companies would likely lose advertising 
revenue if they exposed too much information that displeased those who 
controlled adverting budgets. (Wikipedia, "Conflict of interest") See 
also Wikipedia ("Republic, Lost") and "The Crisis in US Politics and 
Economics" under "Systemic Corruption" at occupy.pbworks.com

I see political arguments that depend on false assumptions way too 
often.  It's a bad habit we should try to break, a habit that lets 
nonsense sneak into the things people believe.  I've been seeing it a 
lot in the comments on global warming stories.

      "Without US troops in Saudi Arabia, the suicide mass murders of
    September 11, 2001 would not have occurred."

"If I were king, the moon would be made of cheese" is the common 
example.  The sentence is true but it has no meaning, because I'm not 
king.  Nothing that follows from a false assumption truly follows.  It's 
one of the non sequiturs ("it does not follow") the Greeks warned us 
about.  "If Ralph Nader hadn't run in 2000, Gore would have won."  We 
don't know that.  Without Nader's pressure, Gore could have run further 
to the right and lost by a landslide.

Here a way to make Spencer's point without the false assumption.  
"There's evidence that the presence of US troops in SA provoked Al Queda 
into attacking the WTC."

It's a pet peeve.  Thanks for your patience.

Well I offered them "COMPOST the Republicrats"

composting.

I must admit that a stinking dead donkephant is
a pretty repulsive concept.  But no more repulsive
than certain runny cheeses.

       1.  Like you, Cameron, I usually avoid such absolute statements.  
In this case, I provided a footnote citing the most important evidence 
that I know supporting this claim, and I felt that the evidence cited 
there supported the stronger statement.  (I just polished that footnote 
in the copy of this note on the web at 
"http://occupy.pbworks.com/w/page/55119685/Liberty%20and%20Justice%20for%20All".) 
I read somewhere that the Bush administration effectively acknowledged 
this by removing all US troops from Saudi Arabia not too long after 
Sept. 11, 2001.  Checking just now, I found a Wikipedia article claiming 
that the US withdrew most troops in 2003, but a few remain, allegedly at 
Erskin Village, 20 km southeast of Riyadh.

       2.  I believe the available evidence makes my claim different 
from your two examples.


       3.  This was intended to be short -- and I admit it's polemical.  
It seems to me that it would lose its punch and brevity if it were 
reworded as you suggest.  I tried to compensate by including footnotes.  
Evidently, that was not adequate for you (and probably others).

Regarding Nader in 2000 -- In responding to "Nader is responsible for Bush  
winning", I usually respond that "I heard that more Democrats switched over 
and  voted for Republicans than for Nader"  People are very surprised  to 
hear that.  Has anyone else heard this same rebuttal?  I  wonder where the

Subject: [HCA-SantaClara] The Presbyterian Church-USA takes step toward 
divestment from for-profit health insurance companies

? 
This is powerful and important work. the Presbyterian church has supported 
Single Payer for a long time.



? 


News Release?? 7-6-12
Johanna W.H.van Wijk-Bos
?
Today the Presbyterian Church (USA) took a step toward divestment from 
for-profit health insurance companies in the US by instructing the appropriate 
committee of the General Assembly to begin a process of information gathering.? 
The Mission Through Responsible Investing Committee (MRTI) is instructed by the 
General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) to request information and 
explanations of health insurance companies. This information will focus 
especially on the insurers? practices in regard to state and federal lobbying 
expenditures and political campaign contributions, government subsidies and 
profit margins, denials of claims, and top executives? compensation packages. 
Other directives include a conversation with the Board of Pensions, the 
overseeing body that works with the health care provider, to ensure that the 
church?s health plan submits to the same standards that it asks of other 
insurers. Based on its analysis MRTI will evaluate the variance between church 
principles of universal access and affordability on the one hand and corporate 
objectives on the other. It will also assess the likelihood of significant 
change in corporate behavior.
?
In addition, the committee is to recommend measures to the appropriate Council 
of the church, including possible divestment from the health insurance 
companies, measures that will strengthen the integrity of the church?s practice. 
The relevant committees and councils are requested to report on their action to 
the General Assemblies of 2014 and 2016, with an eye to guiding individual 
Presbyterians, congregations and mid-councils, in relation to their own 
investment holdings in this major part of the economy.
?
Finally, all official bodies are encouraged to continue to support 
cost-effective health coverage for all through the single payer (or expanded 
Medicare) model common elsewhere in the developed world, and to support making 
health care affordable and transparent.

The overture for this step originated with the Mid-Kentucky Presbytery, was 
joined by the Presbyteries of Albany, New York City, Long Island and West 
Jersey, and was approved overwhelmingly by the Committee on Health Issues of the 
General Assembly on July 3, 2012.

ASSEMBLY ACTION 
On this Item, the General Assembly, acted as follows: 
Approve as Amended

Voice Vote 
Final Text:
In response to Item 21-01, that the 220th General Assembly (2012) approve the 
following alternate recommendation: 



?1.? The MRTI Committee is instructed to request information and explanations of 
health insurance company policy and practice on: state and federal lobbying 
expenditures and political/campaign contributions, government subsidies and 
profit margins related to provisions of the healthcare ?reform? legislation, 
aggregate data on increases in premiums and deductibles over the past ten years, 
categories and percentages of claims denied, and percentages of profits used in 
compensating top executives in comparison with return to shareholders.

?2.? The MRTI Committee is instructed to be in conversation with the PC(USA) 
Board of Pensions to ensure the PC(USA) health plan submits to the same 
standards that PC(USA), through MRTI, asks of other insurers.


?3.? Based on this corporate engagement and analysis, a summary of which shall 
be posted, MRTI is asked to evaluate the variance between church principles of 
universal access and affordability and corporate objectives, to assess the 
likelihood of significant change in corporate behavior, and to recommend to the 
GAMC and General Assembly measures, including possible divestment, that would 
strengthen the integrity of the church?s practice.

?4.? The GAMC, the Presbyterian Foundation, and the Board of Pensions, in turn, 
are requested to report on their actions (or request guidance) to the 221st and 
222nd General Assembly (2014) and (2016), with an eye to guiding individual 
Presbyterians, congregations, and mid councils in relation to their own 
investment holdings in this major part of the economy.


?5.? The Office of Public Witness and other Presbyterian bodies are encouraged 
to continue to support cost-effective health coverage for all through the single 
payer (or expanded Medicare) model common elsewhere in the developed world, and, 
to support making health care affordable and transparent.?

  Dear fellow activists,

I just returned from Philadelphia and the 
Continental Congress 2.0 & the National Occupy

work on press, and table at the upcoming 
premieres, plus there are a number of other 
events happening this month and in August. If 
anyone wants to help or carpool, let me know.  Carol 650-857-0927

EXPERT GROUP REJECTS WORLD TRADE CENTER REPORTS
ENGINEERS POINT TO EVIDENCE OF SCIENTIFIC FRAUD
CALL FOR INDEPENDENT 9/11 INVESTIGATION
Documentary World Premiere ? FINAL EDITION
?9/11: Explosive Evidence ? Experts Speak Out?

If you thought that the fires at the World Trade 
Center twin towers, set off by the horrific 
jetliner impacts of September 11, 2001, were the 
cause of the destruction of those iconic 
skyscrapers, you may be mistaken. Experts now 
cite evidence showing that high-temperature 
incendiaries and explosives were planted 
throughout the twin towers and the lesser-known 
47-story Building 7, also destroyed later the same day.
So says a group of architects and engineers 
nearly 1700 strong, represented by Richard Gage, 
AIA, founder of Architects & Engineers For 9/11 
Truth (AE911Truth) and the director/producer of a 
new documentary. Two years in the making, the 
documentary ?9/11: Explosive Evidence ? Experts 
Speak Out ? FINAL EDITION ? officially debuted 
May 22 in Beverly Hills with a red carpet treatment and press conference.
Famed actor Ed Asner, host and narrator of 
AE911Truth's micro-documentary "Architects & 
Engineers ? Solving the Mystery of WTC 7," joined 
Gage at the Beverly Hills kickoff and introduced 
the film. Also lending some star power to the 
Beverly Hills opening night were veteran 
Hollywood actors John Heard and Judd Nelson. 
High-rise architect Robert McCoy, one of the 
respected building professionals featured in 
Experts Speak Out, also attended the opening.
A variety of special guests will appear with Gage 
at other premiere locations across the country, 
including experts featured in the film, family 
members of 9/11 victims, and prominent public 
figures who support 9/11 Truth. Mechanical 
engineer Tony Szamboti and 9/11 family member Bob 
McIlvaine, who made headlines with their 
explosive 9/11 interview by Geraldo on Fox News 
in 2010, will attend the premiere screening in Philadelphia on June 25.

The film features 43 experts in building 
engineering, physics, chemistry, and other 
technical fields, plus a half-dozen psychologists 
who discussed the denial of the evidence that the 
AE911Truth engineers have been seeking to get 
attention to since the founding of the nonprofit 
organization in 2007. The group's petition, 
signed by 14,000 concerned citizens in addition 
to the architectural and engineering experts, 
calls upon the U.S. Congress to initiate a new independent investigation.

?The official story about the attacks of 
September 11 falls apart when you look squarely 
at the facts and apply basic scientific 
principles to interpret them," says Gage. "After 
more than ten years, a high-level investigation 
of the evidence is long overdue. Too much is at 
stake here to sweep the concerns under the rug. 
Family members of 9/11 victims speak to the 
viewers of this film. They explain why they are 
still not happy with the answers they've been 
given by our government. And they are asking you 
to join them in looking at what our experts have to say."

Several of the film's experts bear PhD's, 
including renowned biologist Lynn Margulis, now 
deceased. Margulis was a National Medal of 
Science winner who, along with the other experts 
in this film, describes unscientific aspects of 
the US government's studies of the engineering 
failures at the World Trade Center. The complete, 
symmetrical failure of WTC 7 was especially 
baffling to engineers at the time. According to 
experts interviewed in the film, the official 
reports by the Federal Emergency Management 
Agency (FEMA) and later by the National Institute 
of Standards and Technology (NIST) assume their 
own conclusions, exclude relevant evidence, and 
failed to draw reasonable conclusions from the 
evidence that was examined. Dr. Margulis for 
instance discusses how the scientific method 
should have been applied to the evidence of 
high-temperature incendiaries found in the WTC 
dust by an international group of scientists.

The documentary is filled with testimony from 
experts such as Les Young, one of several 
high-rise architects interviewed in the film, who 
remarks, ?I would not have expected the whole 
building to just give in at once. And I thought 
it rather odd that they fell almost perfectly ? 
in very similar ways. It seemed odd that lightning would strike twice.?

The documentary presents interviews with several 
psychologists who share their ideas about why the 
evidence discussed by the technical experts in 
the film has been difficult for many to face, and how to make it easier.
Regarding WTC Building 7, materials engineer 
Kathy McGrade says in the film, "The symmetry is the smoking gun."

Structural engineer Ron Brookman notes: "The 
destruction of evidence was a criminal act in 
itself.... It was already being carted away and 
destroyed when the FEMA investigators got there 
about a month after September 11."
According to retired physics teacher David 
Chandler: "In order for [WTC 7] to be falling 
down with zero resistance, it means that the 
resistance had to have been removed by something 
else.... You can?t have free fall when there?s 
support.... If I were a scientist at NIST, I?d be 
embarrassed to try to put forward something like 
[what they said in their report]. It was clearly a fraudulent argument."
The NIST report on the twin Towers blames their 
destruction on office fires ignited by the 
jetliner impacts, combined with the removal of 
fireproofing insulation, knocked off the steel by 
those impacts. The NIST report on WTC 7, which 
was not hit by a jetliner, blames fires alone.

The World Premiere of this milestone film kicks 
off a 30-city cross-country tour of the United 
States, wrapping up in San Francisco in July.

2) Listening for a Change - On the Eleventh of Every Month
Wednesday, 11 July 2012 - 11:00am - 1:00pm
  Lytton Plaza, University & Emerson, Downtown Palo Alto
 From October 2001 through October 2007 every 
week, except when it was raining; I set up 
tables, banners, chairs, food, educational 
material, and created a space for public dialogue 
on key issues. In November 2007 (when my weekly 
radio shows began), I began doing this on a 
monthly basis, on the 11th of every month, in 
solidarity with other activists worldwide (See http://www.truthaction.org.)
We ask the public three questions and write down their responses-
What do you think/feel about the events of 
September 11th and the U.S. government's response?
How could we defuse terrorism?"
How could we create a safer/better world for our children and all children?
Sponsored by Women's International League for 
Peace and Freedom and Northern California 9-11 
Truth Alliance All welcome. For more information

5) Occupy Bohemian Grove - Creation of Care
Saturday, 14 July 2012 - 12:00 noon - 4:00 pm
  Monte Rio Amphitheater, 9925 Main St, Monte Rio, CA
The BOHEMIAN GROVE ACTION NETWORK, a coalition of 
Justice, Peace and Environmental groups who have 
called attention to this annual ?Retreat of the 
Elite? held every July in Sonoma County, 
California is inviting all to join them in 
drawing attention to this annual gathering of the 1%.
They came together in 1980 and many summers since 
to expose how the Bohemian Grove gathering, held 
every year in seclusion, cements bonds of 
camaraderie among a very small elite that extend 
to business associations far from the Owl Shrine?s funeral pyre.
For more on the history of Bohemian Grove and 
Bohemian Grove Action Network, go to http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com/.
This year there will be an organizing meeting on 
July 7th. People are encouraged to come and stay, 
camp to participate in actions, as well as an 
educational event on July 14th which will include 
many activist groups. Visit the website to see the flyers.
The Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance has 
endorsed this event and activities.

Subject: [GPSCC-chat] Repealing the Citizens United doctrine of the Supreme
 Court in Milpitas
In-Reply-To: <mailman.1.1341946802.1553.sosfbay-discuss@cagreens.org>

Message-ID: <1341958817.1951.390.camel@robs-laptop>

This went out to some folks today.  Please forward to anyone you know
who lives in Milpitas.  Thanks.
--
On June 25, five Supreme Court justices told us to stop complaining
about money corrupting politics. They decided without looking at any
evidence, listening to any arguments, or issuing any legal opinion. (For
a 3-minute description of what happened, watch this video from the heads
of Montana state government: http://snipurl.com/244f2az or
ElectionsAreForUs.org .)

        
        Repealing the Citizens United doctrine of the Supreme Court will
        require a Constitutional amendment ? not an easy task. However,
        between now and August 7, we can do our part. The Milpitas City
        Council will then consider a resolution in support of a
        Constitutional amendment. The proposed draft resolution and the
        actual amendment wording essentially say that corporations are
        not people and money is not speech. The Frequently Asked
        Questions section includes a comparison of various proposed
        amendments, and why they don't cover all the bases like this
        MoveToAmend version does. 
        
        Three more background documents:
        The Conservative Case for Overturning Citizens United
        http://www.citizen.org/documents/Conservative-Talking-Points.pdf
        A Call for a Constitutional Amendment
        http://www.citizen.org/documents/Fact-Sheet-Why-Pass-a-Constitutional-Amendment1.pdf
        How does Citizens United affect our city?
        http://www.citizen.org/documents/How-does-Citizens-United-affect-our-city517.pdf
        
        On that last subject, outside money has already affected our
        City by creating a fiefdom for Walmart and repealing the city's
        new campaign finance law (Milpitas Post, Feb 10, 2012).
        
        What you can do:
        - Speak out: write a letter to the Post
        (opinion at themilpitaspost.com), call the Council members (left
        column of
        http://www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov/government/council/city_council.asp), e-mail the Council members (http://www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov/government/council/speak.asp), alert your friends and neighbors, post a comment on a blog or http://milpitas.patch.com/, sign the petition (at http://movetoamend.org/ under GET INVOVLED)
        - Lobby the Council members. Join with one, two or three other
        supporters to discuss with each Council member why supporting a
        Constitutional amendment is important. 
        - Attend the August 7 City Council meeting and urge them to join
        a growing number of cities calling for an amendment
        (http://movetoamend.org/resolutions-map). The meeting starts at
        7:00 pm in Council Chambers (City Hall). If not moved to speak,
        you can sit and wear one of our ?name tags? that shows your
        support for a resolution. Your presence makes a big impact.
        
        Thanks for your service on behalf of democracy.

NOTE 2:  In the attached message Sanda Everette recommends accessing Livestream via a link on the CA Greens website on the page http://www.cagreens.org/national-news-gpus so that they can track how many viewers they have from California.

Happy viewing!

Best regards,
Valerie

The schedule for the Livestreaming events at the convention is on the Green
Party channel. Livestream.com/greenpartyus.  You can check the schedule
from there and even rsvp which might give you a reminder, but when you
actually watch the show, please link to that page from the cagreens page
link below.

*Date:* July 8, 2012 4:59:01 PM PDT
*To:* gpca-forum <gpca-forum at cagreens.org>
*Subject:* *Livestreaming at the Presidential Nominating Convention*

Many of the events at the PNC will be Livestreamed so those of you not
attending, can still watch the process.  There is a link to the GPUS
Livestream channel from our GPCA -GPUS National
News<http://www.cagreens.org/national-news-gpus#>web page at
http://www.cagreens.org/national-news-gpus#.  Please share this link with
Greens in your area.

Although you could find the show directly from Livestream, or from the GPUS
web page, GPUS tracks where people are coming from who are watching the
broadcast, so they won't know you are from CA unless you link from our
website.

Everything that is Livestreamed is also recorded and rebroadcast, and you
can choose to watch previous broadcasts.  When we are Livestreaming you
will see the live show embedded in our page or use it as a link to the
channel's page. During a live broadcast, there is a live chat on the
channel page.  I know that there will be two press conferences on Friday
morning that will be Livestreamed, as well as the convention on Saturday.
 I don't know more about the schedule at this point.  The general schedule
for the convention is at  http://www.gpconvention2012.com/p/scheduling.html

I am sending this today, so if you have not checked out these resources
yet, you can play with them before the convention and start sharing it with
your networks.  I will try to send it again closer to the event, but I know
I will be quite busy at the meeting wearing hats as co-chair of the
Credentialing Committee, on the Media committee, co-chair of the GPCA
GPUS/NC delegation, and general mother hen.  I am looking forward to the
event....though not joining the east coast heat wave....which is abating a
little.

I would be impressed with this organization except for one thing: When I tried to e-mail them using the e-mail address on their web site, my mail was returned as undeliverable.  Any clue as to when/where they will be having 
their tour of the SF Bay Area on July 26-27 about Internet Freedom?

Check out this high quality, well-funded Green Party periodical from the american Henrich B?lles Foundation in Washington D.C.
The foundation is underwritten by the German Green Party (which due to their much more advanced Democacy than ours is substantially funded by tax payer's money in proportion to the votes they receive - part of proportional 
representation).

Working on this movie is one reason I didn't come to meetings for such a long

I didn't have time to fix it.)  I don't agree with everything that's in the movie, 
but much of it is important and all of it merits consideration.

An interview with Cheri Honkala has been ADDED to tomorrow's schedule:

Cheri Honkala Live Interview - Jill Stein's VP Nominee
12:30 PM - 1:15 PM EDT / 9:30 AM - 10:15 AM on July 13, 2012 


Tomorrow's first two events have been renamed, but their times are the same:

Friday, July 13

9:00 AM - 10:00 AM EDT / 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM PDT on July 13, 2012

The rest of the schedule is identical to what I posted before, but if you're interested in catching things live I strongly recommend checking the website now and then for changes.  However, if you miss something the shows will be archived.

Happy viewing,
Valerie

Subject: [GPSCC-chat] Fw: [gpca-forum] Fwd: Livestreaming at the Presidential Nominating Convention

Hi everyone,

If you're not going to the Green Party's Presidential Nominating Convention but are curious about it, I recommend visiting the GPUS's Livestream page at http://www.livestream.com/greenpartyus to watch some of the events live -- or later, after they have been archived.

Here's the schedule on that page as of now:

Thursday, July 12
Green Party US National Convention Opening Press Conference
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM EDT / 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM PDT on July 12, 2012 

Friday, July 13
Green Party Candidates & Officeholders Press Conference
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM EDT / 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM PDT on July 13, 2012 

Friday, July 13
Green Party Additional Candidates & Officeholder Press Conference
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT / 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM PDT on July 13, 2012 

Friday, July 13
Live streaming & Social Media Workshop
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EDT / 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM PDT on July 13, 2012 

Friday, July 13
International Greens Reception
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM PDT on July 13, 2012 

Saturday, July 14
Presidential Candidate Press Conference
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM EDT / 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM PDT on July 14, 2012 

Saturday, July 14
Green Party National Convention
10:00 AM - 4:30 PM EDT / 7:00 AM - 1:30 PM PDT on July 14, 2012 

Saturday, July 14
Jill Stein likely Presidential Nominee Party
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM EDT / 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM PDT on July 14, 2012 


NOTE 1:  I added the PDT times.  Any math errors are mine, not GPUS's.

NOTE 2:  In the attached message Sanda Everette recommends accessing Livestream via a link on the CA Greens website on the page http://www.cagreens.org/national-news-gpus so that they can track how many viewers they have from California.

Happy viewing!

Best regards,
Valerie

If Paulists can prevail at the Nebraska GOP convention today, he has a shot at being
considered as a presidential candidate at the National GOP convention.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/07/its-d-day-for-ron-pauls-2012-insurgency/


I would be delighted if Condoleezza "KindaLiesaLot"  Rice were the Republican candidate
for VP.  Perhaps exposure of her perjury before the 9/11 Commission would pressure her 
to rat out her fellow war criminals   Cheney, Rumsfeld, Feith, Yoo, Bybee, Addington, 
Gonzales, Haynes, and Bush.

                                                            	PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT 2 BAY AREA FORUMS ON THE THREAT TO OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES:  The SF 99% Coalition has organized two forums with great panelists on July 29 and July 31 to raise awareness of the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) and the threat it poses to our civil liberties*.  (See below for details.)  Please join us at either or both of them to learn more about it and what we can do.  And please forward this announcement to anyone (individuals and organizations) you know who might want to learn more about the threat to our human, political and civil rights and liberties posed by the NDAA and other related laws and policies coming out of Washington DC lately.  Thanks!  -Art Persyko, for the SF 99% Coalition



The San Francisco 99% Coalition invites you to a panel discussion:
Our Vanishing Civil Liberties?Why it Matters, Now!
at two dates and locations in the Bay Area:
Sunday, July 29, 1 pm in San Francisco at the Unitarian Universalist Center, 1187 Franklin at Geary
Tuesday, July 31, 7 pm in Oakland at the Oakland Peace Center, 111 Fairmount at 29th 
*What's this all about?  Late last year, President Obama signed an annual military funding bill -- the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA -- including controversial provisions that could authorize the US military to indefinitely detain anyone in the US without trial. The statute is so vague that anyone could be detained in military custody: mere suspicion of association with potential terrorists (or, for that matter, disfavored demographic or political groups) could suffice. The war on terror has long undermined our civil liberties and enabled ethnic profiling.  The NDAA exacerbates that sad, outrageous, and continuing history.  

Two diverse panels will provide analysis, explore potential grassroots responses, and address questions from the audience. 

Panelists in San Francisco on Sunday, July 29 at 1 pm:
 
 
Shahid Buttar, Executive Director, Bill of     Rights Defense Committee
 
Nancy Mancias, Code Pink Accountability     Campaigner
 
Grace Shimizu, Asian Americans for Peace and     Justice Organizer
 
Ashwak Hauter, Arab Resource and Organizing     Center 


Panelists in Oakland on Tuesday, July 31, 7 pm:
 
 
Shahid Buttar, Executive Director, Bill of     Rights Defense Committee
 
Bob Meola, member of Movement for a Democratic     Society-Bay Area
 
Debra Small of Break the Chains
 
Lee Tien, Senior Staff Attorney for the     Electronic Frontier Foundation
 
Mike Flynn, National Lawyers Guild &     Coalition for a Safe San Francisco

Message-ID: <50036169.5000900@sbcglobal.net>

Hello South Bay and Peninsula!   

Are you available for getting together at 4:00 pm or so this Wednesday, 
July 18, somewhere in the vicinity of the SF Mime Troupe show that 
evening in Redwood City?  The details of the show are below.

I have set a goal to get to almost every SF Mime Troupe show this year, 
30-45 minutes before the show in order to  put a leaflet in the hands of 
audience members. The leaflet has my Open Letter to Governor Jerry 
Brown, about the budget, on one side, and on the other side "Occupying 
Government in Sacramento: Possibilities for a Boomerang on the 1%" 
focused on how the California Top Two Primary allows anybody to vote for 
anybody regardless of voter registration, so vote for candidates 
independent of corporate money, like the Greens!

Since I'll be on the peninsula, it would be great to have a chance to be 
with a bunch of people and talk about changing California for the BETTER 
for a change!  And changing the U.S. and the world.

Let me know if it's possible for you. It would be fun to see and talk 
with you.

Occupy the voting booth!

Tian can be seen at 10:26, 29:30, 31:12, and 44:15  

Green New Deal starts at 14:00:  it will end climate change, obviate wars for oil, 
and end unemployment by creating ecologically, economically, and socially 
sustainable jobs in clean manufacture, local food production, public transport, 
clean renewable energy, health care, low cost housing, drug prevention--  
ecologically sustainable jobs that serve our social needs.  There will be a
moratorium on foreclosures and evictions.

Corporate backers of our legislature depend on high unemployment to keep
wages down.

Medicare for all.  Tuition-free public education K-through college, an investment 
in the future.   (The G.I. bill returned $7 for every dollar invested.)

The economy and our democracy have been hijacked by the big banks and 
financiers.  End bailouts and corporate giveaways, and break up the big banks.
Restore Glass-Steagall.  Establish public control of the money supply and
credit.  90% tax on bonuses for bailed-out bankers.  

Reforms are necessary to restore democracy.  End Big Money's domination of
elections.  We need a constitutional amendment:  corporations are not people
and money is not speech.  We'll guarantee paper ballots, create non-partisan 
election commissions, restore voting rights of 1.4 million ex-felons; and  
implement IRV, proportional representation, public finance, and equal
access to the airwaves and the debates.  (Occupy the Debates.)

The Green New Deal will p us back from the brink--for our economy, our
environment, and our democracy.  

Bring the troops and the war dollars home from illegal, immoral wars and 
from 1000 military bases in 140 countries where we don't need to be.  
Militarism will be replaced by foreign policy based on respect for international
law and human rights.

Repeal unAmerican provisions of the PATRIOT Act, and the NDAA, and
the Anti-Trespass and Anti Terrorism Acts that criminalize protest.  Prohibit
DHS and FBI conspiring with local police to suppress freedom of speech.

Legalize marijuana, end the war on immigrants.  End the deportations!  End
so-called Free Trade agreements that generate economic refugees, and 
institute Fair Trade agreements.

The Politics of Fear have brought us everything we were afraid of.  It's time
for the Politics of Courage.  Let's turn the White House into a Green House.

Subject: [GPSCC-chat] Update on Laura Wells at SF Mime Troupe: meet 5:00pm,

Message-ID: <20120717.191758.18647.2@webmail01.vgs.untd.com>

Hi folks,

The text below is from an HTML email I received from Laura Wells.  I can't be there, but I'm passing it on to the list because I strongly believe that we need to publicize things like this to more Greens (Laura is a past and future Green candidate).

If you're going to RSVP, please contact Laura Wells, not me.

Best wishes,
Valerie

Sorry about the confusion - the date is still the 26th; there was a mistake on the website and they will be fixing it soon. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Whew, does Andrew Levine need an editor!  Few will read far enough to get to his 
important points:

The ruling duopoly of D's and R's serves the 1%, the group FDR called "economic royalists".
Obama's meteoric rise to power is best explained by the notion that he sold his soul to the 1%.
He's a Wall Street flunky and enabler of corporate malfeasance, he's engineered 
extrajudicial 
assassinations and, as President Drone, wantonly 
violated international law. He's protected Bush era war criminals, undermined 
privacy rights, and continued each and every departure 
from the rule of 
law broached since 9/11.  Spineless Democratic bipartisanship may be more 
damaging to the country than would reawakened Democratic obstruction to Republican rule.

Far preferable to refusing to vote is voting for 3rd parties:  it keeps them alive, future 
circumstances may improve their prospects, their campaigns improve the quality of political 
discourse and, in the 3/4 of the states that are red or blue enough, voting 3rd party does no 
harm in the presidential race because it will not change the outcome of the electoral college 
results.  He's voting for Jill Stein.  He's eschewing Lesser Evilism.

Just give $10.  Do your bit.  If every Green in California gave $10 that would

This arrived today, Fri 20 July, via jimd at cagreens.org

So, who wants to work with this young man?

Hello Mr. Doyle,

    My name is Joe Connors, and I am a student living in Milpitas, Ca.
 
As a recent graduate from high school, I would like to become more
 involved in local politics and help raise awareness and support for
independent groups.

I am only 15 years of age, and thus am unable to  vote, but I am looking to
volunteer and help the organization you represent  in other ways. To put it
bluntly, I am somewhat lost as to how to participate
 in any action that is being taken by the Green Party's Santa Clara 
contingent,
 and would appreciate any direction you may offer me.

Thank you,
Joe Connors

So, who wants to work with this young man?

To the question, who will he vote for

Here, then, is what I?m going to do and what I would urge others to do 
as well:
instead of voting for the least bad feasible alternative, whoever that is,
I?m voting Green.

To the question, who will he vote for
his reasoning seems to be in the paragraph

These considerations suggest that, to avoid the snare of lesser evilism,
a better way than non-participation may be to vote, when possible,
for a non-feasible alternative. I would suggest that, come November 6,
the best way to do that will be to vote, if one can, for a ?third party?
candidate who is not a lesser evil.


Thus, a slogan for us could be
NOT VOTING? VOTE GREEN -
IT DOESN"T CHANGE THE OUTCOME.

I agree with Jim:  A vote for any candidate who can afford massive 
advertising on television is a vote for bribery.  That's because the 
huge campaign budgets pay first for focus groups and surveys to 
determine what will most likely sell.  Then when in office, those 
politicians must deliver a return to the campaign contributors, 
averaging roughly $10 for each $1 -- but often more like $1,000 for each 
$1.  For example, Solyndra got half a billion dollars in load guarantees 
in return for half a million in campaign contributions to Obama for 
President in 2008.  Spencer

Taibbi references an article from 2010 that described FDR's Home Owners? 
Loan Corporation (?HOLC?), which purchased one million distressed mortgages 
from banks from 1933-1935--1/6 of the urban home mortgages.  Though
HOLC was able to pick and choose its cases and was indulgent of late or 
missing payments, 20% of its mortgages wound up in default.
http://www.tnr.com/article/unhampered?page=0,0

 An article by Yes! Magazine editor Doug Pibel points out:

   "Since 1950, the average size of a new house in the United States 

   has more than doubled, even as average household size has 
   decreased by 
nearly a quarter. The average American now has 
   living space just shy of 
1,000 square feet?nearly twice the size of 
   the average house in 1950. 
Have our needs really changed that 
   much in six decades? Or have we been 
sold something we don?t 
   really need? . . . The real solution to the wrecked state of U.S. real 
   estate is not 
to try to get things back to where they were. It?s to 
   find creative ways
 to match supply with demand, to change the 
   way we finance housing, and 
to recognize that owning the biggest
   house on the block could be the 
American nightmare rather than 
   the American dream."

Message-ID: <500B4F96.30404@prodsyse.com>

Hello, All:


       This afternoon, I attended a panel discussion on "Organized 
Labor, Immigrants & the Rights of All Workers" 
(www.sanjosepeace.org/calendar_event.php?eid=20120515164135927 
<http://www.sanjosepeace.org/calendar_event.php?eid=20120515164135927>). 
Three speakers (David Bacon, Fritz Conle, and Adriana Garc?a) described 
numerous cases to support the claim that "an attack on one is an attack 
on all".  For example, the criminalization of work by people here 
without papers gives employers license to employ all manner of illegal 
tactics to prevent workers from obtaining proper enforcement of US law 
regarding workplace safety, etc.  Fritz Conle described a woman whose 
application for disability compensation was denied, claiming she had 
already collected all that was due her. After checking, it was revealed 
that after California law was changed to allow people to apply for 
unemployment benefits via telephone or Internet, a post office box in 
Delano, CA, had been given as the address for several former employees 
of a certain firm, including Conle's client.  This was almost certainly 
fraud, but Conle was unaware of any pressure to investigate and 
prosecute this case, though he was able eventually to get unemployment 
for his client.


       For me, one of the most memorable parts of the session was the 
comments by Jim Beall, currently representing California Assembly 
district 24 (http://asmdc.org/members/a24 
<http://asmdc.org/members/a24/>) and running for California State Senate 
in district 15 (www.jimbeall.com <http://www.jimbeall.com/>).  He said 
that beginning at age 15, he had worked for several years doing stoop 
labor in California's agriculture industry.  While picking tomatoes, he 
noticed another group also picking tomatoes but at roughly double the 
rate.  He later learned that they were Braceros (Wikipedia, "Bracero 
Program"), being paid half the rate per tomato, so at the end of the 
day, the Braceros took home roughly the same amount of money he did for 
half the production.  Some years later, he was working towards the south 
end of the Central Valley, when he noticed several law enforcement 
vehicles appear with their red lights flashing.  Many of his co-workers 
disappeared at that moment, ran from the field, got in their cars, and 
left.  That happened to be Friday, when everyone got paid -- except for 
the undocumented, who had fled for fear of arrest.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer

I read this article:
"The Careerists"
     http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/the_careerists_20120723/
     http://www.commondreams.org/view/2012/07/23-0

I have often found Chris Hedges columns to be bleak
and depressing.  This one also paints a bleak picture.
But unlike the others, this one was not depressing.
I think it provides a glimmer of understanding that
might end up being helpful.  I say that in part due
to my emotional response and to some of the comments.

I suspect that the subject is not new to most, but I
think that there still will be something new to many.

For those who have seen "Thank You for Smoking":
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427944/
when asked why he did what he did, Nick Naylor said
"to pay the mortgage".

There's a reference to climate change in paragraph 7.


A personal story:  Without going into details I once
was a manager, I was required to perform an unpleasant
and I believe unethical task, I later decided to never
be a manager again, and I now wish I had resigned as
manager instead of doing what was requested.  I think
this helps me relate to this article.

Subject: [GPSCC-chat] Tim Geithner before House Financial Services Committee
Message-ID: <BAY165-W553DBE9AB3AAC89DFA47BA9EC30@phx.gbl>


It appears that Geithner knew (while president of the Federal Reserve Bank of NY) in 
2009 about the Libor rate-fixing scandal and did nothing.  He is currently Obama's
Sec'y of the Treasury.  There have been suggestion that he is facing potential
criminal liability as the DoJ begins its investigations.

Geithner appears before the House Financial Services Committee tomorrow.

This happens on CSpan3 at 7:00 am Pacific time tomorrow.

The following is an announcement from the Los Angeles branch of the ANSWER Coalition, which has been deeply engaged in the struggle in Anaheim against the outrageous police attacks. Please help them through this difficult time by making an urgently-needed donation.
ANSWER Los Angeles office ransacked & robbed
Attack comes hours office deluged with 
racist hate calls over Anaheim police protests
Your help needed!







 


Door to ANSWER LA office.


ANSWER file cabinets searched.



Attackers trashed storage room looking for all sound equipment and bullhorns. 
Dear John,
On Monday, the ANSWER Coalition was highlighted in the mass media for our role supporting the protests in response to the outrageous police attack in Anaheim. ANSWER placards and signs were highly visible in media photos and video. ANSWER volunteers were interviewed by mainstream media outlets.

That night, the ANSWER office in Los Angeles was broken into, ransacked and robbed. All of our computers, ten total, were stolen, in addition to all of our sound equipment and our bullhorns ? the things essential to organizing and conducting protest actions. We had many other losses too and our files were ransacked.

Please click here to make an urgently needed donation to help us recover from this attack.

At this point, we cannot say with certainty the nature of this attack?but we believe the events leading up to it are noteworthy. After being in the national spotlight the ANSWER Coalition office was deluged with racist hate calls supporting the Anaheim police, who killed two unarmed men in 24 hours and inflicted so much brutality against the community. At the same time, right-wing websites began an internet-based attack campaign against the ANSWER Coalition labeling us ?outside agitators.? Hours later the office was broken into and ransacked.

And we know that the United States?and southern California in particular?has a long history of police attacks on the offices progressive organizations, with the intent of disrupting or sabotaging their organizing efforts during key political crises.

Despite this attack, we are not deterred. We still managed to mobilize for the mass action at the Anaheim City Council meeting, and will be marching in Downey this Saturday against the police murder of Mike Nida.

However, our work has been severely disrupted. We are asking for your help to so that we can replace our equipment and rebuild our office. Please help us so that we can continue mobilizing actions against police brutality, the war in Afghanistan, budget cuts, and as we work to build a movement for justice and equality. Please click here to make an urgently needed donation.

Your solidarity and support through this attack is critical to continuing our work, and is very much appreciated. Please make as generous a donation as you can. Standing together we can make a difference.
In struggle,

>BRIEF REPORT FROM INSIDE ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS
>
>As a 40+ year resident of Anaheim and a longtime critic of police brutality and misconduct, I went to Tuesday night's meeting of the Anaheim City Council with the intent of speaking during public comments regarding the latest flurry of officer-involved shootings.
>
>I arrived there with a friend shortly after 3:30 p.m. because I wanted to make sure we both got seats inside Council Chambers. I suspected that it would be flooded with people, and was right. The local building trade unions were holding a demonstration in front of City Hall at the time I got there and a number of their members later entered and filled up every seat that was available.
>
>When Mayor Tom Tait began the meeting around 4:40 p.m., a number of anti-police brutality protesters started shouting near the glass door entrance to Council Chambers. Visibly irritated, Mayor Tait temporarily recessed the meeting and Anaheim Police officers equipped with riot gear started to enter the room. It was incredibly surreal to watch police officers equipped with helmets, batons, and pellet guns parade back and forth inside Council Chambers. They would march in from a rear exit leading into Council Chambers and then go directly into the lobby, where they were trying to push anti-police brutality protesters back outside who were loudly demanding to get in. They sometimes would go back out the rear exit, then return again. 
>
>(Although I'm not defending the city's actions in keeping people out, because every seat in Council Chambers had already been taken and many people were standing against the wall, the fire marshals refused to let any additional people in, citing risk of fire and other hazards. This has occurred before at many previous meetings of that body when the room was packed.)
>
>After the lobby was cleared of chanting protesters by riot police, Mayor Tait then resumed the meeting. Although the meeting at first strictly followed the agenda, it stayed on public comments for the rest of the evening. Aside from myself, there were quite a few people during public comments who spoke critically about the Anaheim Police Department and the recent shootings.
>
>Several times during the meeting, Mayor Tait held five minute recesses, I assume to keep abreast on events that were occurring on the streets outside Anaheim City Hall. He and other members of the council appeared to be shaken by what was going on. Some of them looked like they were in daze. 
>
>Although there were many items on the Council Agenda, Mayor Tait decided to cut the meeting short and continue them to a future date.
>
>When I exited Anaheim City Hall, there were dozens of riot police surrounding the building and the adjacent parking structure. There were police cars with flashing lights everywhere.
>
>It was a truly bizarre experience.
>
>[UPDATE: When I wrote this brief report 9 hours ago, I forgot to mention that Mayor Tom Tait did deviate from the Council Agenda slightly by making comments about the shooting and the "civil unrest" that was occurring. He also had the Council pass an emergency resolution asking for federal authorities to conduct investigations.]

       Good interview with Amy Goodman + others


       Noam Chomsky has endorsed Jill Stein.


Proposed:  Santa Clara Greens adopt "Green New Deal" as a campaign 
slogan.  Consensus.



*** Must find replacement for Warner as Regional Rep.  (Warner) Warner 
will resign Sept. 15.  Cindy ____________ was appointed as the alternate 
a little over a year ago.  Cindy has been fairly inactive and has no 
background with state party politics.  If we do NOT select anyone else, 
Cindy will become our Regional Rep.


Duties:  Attend the monthly teleconferences, serve on a committee, share 
information with the county groups, ... .

>


Proposed:  Pick a quantity and let John, Tian or Valerie decide the design.


Concern:  Judging by the rate at which t-shirts have sold in the past, 
AND the fact that our tabling teams are not super active these days, Jim 
Doyle is concerned that we may not sell that many but will stand aside.


We have a consensus with a stand aside on ordering 20.  Our tablers need 
to make it happen.

       1.  Merriam to draft a reply to the letter received from someone 
and circulate it to the County Council for approval.


       2.  Spencer to ask if he'd like to help with the Foreclosure Summit.


*** We need to have 4 delegates to the Standing General Assembly. (Warner)


Proposed:  The 4 members of the County Council be our 4 delegates to the 
Standing General Assembly.  No concerns.  We have consensus. (Spencer, 
Jim Dole, Merriam, Drew:  Warner will forward an email to us on what we 
need to do.)


*** Warner will send names and contact info for the County Council to 
the Co-Coordinaters for the State party (Sanda and Alex)
>
>
>     Update on Foreclosure Summit 5 min (Spencer)
>

** What about use of eminent domain?


** What about a tax on vacant property?


In sum:  The foreclosure situation is getting worse but the plans for 
the Foreclosure Summit are progressing.


*** Laura Wells, Green candidate for CA Governor:


Proposed:  Santa Clara Greens organize an event with Laura.


Q:  How large an event?  A:  Merriam wasn't thinking of doing this 
before October.


Concern:  Preferred to organize for Jill Stein.


Consensus:  Merriam & Drew can look to organize something, generate a 
more concrete proposal.

       We voted $250 to redo the web site.  Spencer made suggestions for 
a process.

There was a Silicon Valley meeting with them on Friday last week, but I did not get the directions in time to be usefull.? See below for more details. Thanks.

Hi John,

your mail was somehow filtered in the spam container. I'm staying till wednesday around noon in San Francisco and then will fly back. There are no more public events. But if anyone wants to meet, please let me know. Do you have contacts to the Green Party in San Francisco?

Best,

Hello again,
?
I had a blast at the talk on Internet privacy tonight in San Francisco.? It was mentioned at the meeting that there will be a duplicate talk in Silicon Valley on Friday, July 27, 2012.? When and where is this going to be exactly? Thanks.
