[GPSCC-chat] Sally Lieber

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Warner, et al.:


       I think Warner's position takes this off the table -- unless 
someone from her campaign comes to address our monthly meeting, Nov. 27.


       Longer term, the Green Party would benefit from working with (a) 
the Peace & Freedom party and (b) MoveOn to develop a common slate of 
candidates:  I would not expect MoveOn to buy into that, but they 
might.  If MoveOn is, say, 10 times our size, and we could get them to 
endorse one of our candidates in exchange for us endorsing 10 of theirs, 
I think that would benefit both groups.


       After this election, I think we should develop a plan for the 
next 2 years to increase the number of Greens and coalition partners 
running for low level offices like school board or water district.  That 
could give us more visibility, help us attract more members, and reverse 
the decline in numbers of registered Greens we've seen over the past few 
years.


       Spencer
