[GPSCC-chat] Why you should vote Yes on Prop 37

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, John, Susie, Gil:


GIL:  There is a discussion of organizing an event on Prop 37, which 
would require labeling of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).  I'm 
copying you, because you indicated in the past that you might be able to 
get space on campus for events sponsored by Occupy San José.  OSJ has 
not yet endorsed this, but I'd be shocked if they turned it down if we 
presented them with a reasonable proposal.


ALL:


       I just requested the Peace Center for the evening of Nov. 2 for 
this -- to reduce the chances that it might be scheduled for something 
else while we speak.


       However, if you want to consider a different venue for this (time 
or place), that would be fine with me.  If you arrange such (or if the 
Green Party decides NOT to endorse this event on Nov. 2), I will notify 
the Peace Center that we do not need that space Nov. 2.  If you would 
like space at San José State, you might want to ask Gil Villagran, 
copied on this email.


       Spencer
