[GPSCC-chat] Post-Election Summer Activities...

[Carol Brouillet]

Dear friends, colleagues, supporters, activists,

Many thanks to all who pitched in and helped with my Congressional 
Campaign, we learned a lot and I'm glad we did it. I hope what we did 
will make it easier to mobilize people into a stronger political 
force in the future.  There are plenty of campaigns, efforts that 
need support.  I generally want to do "everything," but the 
Congressional Campaign forced me to be more focused and let go of 
trying to do "way more than I could..."  Now I'm obliged to choose 
again where to put my time, energy, resources and that is not an easy 
task.  I do have certain responsibilities (like fetching the signs in 
from where they were deployed in transit corridors) and showing up in 
court (to avoid additional jail time and hefty fines) and I did sign 
up to be a delegate to the Continental Congress 2.0 
(<http://www.the99declaration.org/>http://www.the99declaration.org/ ) 
taking place in Philadelphia, alongside another national gathering 
for the Occupy Movement 
(<http://www.occupynationalgathering.com/>http://www.occupynationalgathering.com/ 
) during the first week of July.  I'm also committed to helping with 
the premiere of the new 9/11 Explosive Evidence- Experts Speak Out 
(See http://www.ae911truth.org ) in July, as well as a June 23rd 
premiere of a documentary, A Noble Lie, Oklahmoa City 1995, about the 
Oklahoma City Bombing on in Berkeley 
(<http://www.bfuu.org/events>http://www.bfuu.org/events ).

Of course, with my three sons at home now, there are other demands 
upon me, such as making blueberry waffles this Sunday, giving them 
time and attention this summer. (Now that the youngest is in college, 
it is rare to
  have  them all home at the same time.  I also want to visit my mom, 
who is getting on in years.

There are also events coming up to push for Single Payer Healthcare, 
a local resolution to support a 28th Amendment to abolish corporate 
personhood, the annual monetary reform conference, efforts to rein in 
the growing police state, efforts to shut down nuclear power in 
California, efforts to prevent an impending war with Syria and Iran.

Today, though, I will just work on waffles, collecting yard signs 
(I'm going to clean off the ones that I find and store them for 
possible reuse in 2014), writing thank-you letters, catching up with 
the unending pile of tasks at hand.  If you have one or more yard 
signs that you would like me to pick up- please let me know (and give 
me your address).  If you would like to accompany me on the yard sign 
hunt, let me know (I'll be passing by Castle Rock, so an opportunity 
for a hike is also a tempting possibility. (If you want waffles & to 
help with yard signs/hike - aim to be at my home at 11:30 am...)
