As a part of our effort to form coalitions with other groups working on our major topics, I have agreed to have a phone banking at my house to try to get people to go to the August 3 event at Chevron refinery. It will probably be next month. I think the meeting to write the script will be on June 28. If you would like to participate in that, please let me know. If you would like to participate in the phone banking, please let me know that, too. You can, of course, take the script and do phone banking at your own house, or even do it without the script, but we would like to coordinate who is going to be calling whom.

$165 is NOT too expensive to participate. E pay more for many events. This is our only outreach specifically aimed at the African American communityduring the year. I request the Council override this and participate in this event.

       This last weekend, I attended an event that Sandy helped organize 
with David Cobb, Shamaco, and others at Silicon Valley De-Bug.  Shamaco 
African American living in Oakland.  If we do this, we should try to get 
Raj Jayadev of De-Bug and Shamaco to help us prepare -- and maybe even 
table with us.

Gentlemen,
Caroline informed me that there a $100 limit on booth fees
for this event was agreed to at the May monthly meeting.

Sorry, they have raised their former $150 to $165 so we will
not be tabling there this year.

The announcement from info at sjaacsa.org is included below.

It is true that we have spent this amount in the past and the
price is not out of line for a two day event from such an organisation.

However, I do foresee a problem. It is not with the funding but
with finding enough people to staff the table during the hours
of operation - 7 hours each day.

Then too, there is the matter of the transportation of thecanopy
and the tabling materials.

I would suggest an alternative: wear your Green Party T-shirts
and walk around as a roving ambassador.

Great that's that.? we have at least the minimum staffing (and the Council votes).? Thanks to Tian and John for volunteering and if anyone else wants to join us that'd be fantastic.

Oh and Jim Doyle go ahead and write the check thanks.

Okay, I'll arrange to bring the tabling supplies and staff the table on Saturday.

Great that's that.? we have at least the minimum staffing (and the Council votes).? Thanks to Tian and John for volunteering and if anyone else wants to join us that'd be 
fantastic.


Oh and Jim Doyle go ahead and write the check thanks.

Okay, I'll arrange to bring the tabling supplies and staff the table on Saturday.

Think we can get enough volunteers to staff the table all weekend? I'm not sure at all. 
Dragging my heels at the thought of trying to round them up for that.

 This last weekend, I attended an event that Sandy helped organize with 
David Cobb, Shamaco, and others at Silicon Valley De-Bug.? Shamaco 
African American living in Oakland.? If we do this, we should try to get
 Raj Jayadev of De-Bug and Shamaco to help us prepare -- and maybe even 
table with us.?

Gentlemen,
Caroline informed me that there a $100 limit on booth fees
for this event was agreed to at the May monthly meeting.

Sorry, they have raised their former $150 to $165 so we will
not be tabling there this year.

The only bright spots:? The students really shone!? We got lots of positive attention for having mobilized and spoken out.? They did move to 1) have a committee to include students which would address student grievances and to 2) make an (rather patronizing IMO) effort to educate students about "financial literacy" (big hint: don't use the Higher One card - switch to something else).

Spencer,
?
The incorrect phone number is still listed where my phone number should be. I hardly ever use my cell phone. Please change my phone number to my home phone which is 408-914-2751.?Also, do we have lists of registered Greens with their home addresses so I can go door to door collecting signatures?? Also, we don't each have to get 20 signatures.? 20 in total from the group is good enough, which works out to less than 5 signatures each, since we probably will have 5-10 people gathering signatures.?Thanks.
?
Sincerely,
?
John Thielking

Greetings all, 


Please forward the email message underneath to others that you know.


Some of you receiving this are on the LPDOC Chapter Silicon Valley email list. I think this issue is so important that I'm sending this to you too. What if they wouldn't let Leonard Peltier receive letters?


If you live in the South Bay area, please do what you can to attend this meeting to show support that this policy is not implemented. It is so important for family members to keep connected to their loved ones in jail and it is vital for people in jail to hear from their families and loved ones.


thank you

Subject: ACTION ALERT: Come to public meeting regarding policy to stop inmates from receiving letters (June 5th at 6pm)


Please forward on to others who may be interested...



Community Meeting On the Proposed Policy to Stop Inmates from Receiving Letters
(Come and make your opinion heard!)
WHAT:
Santa Clara County jail officials are proposing to stop inmates from receiving letters. The proposal would allow for only a limited sized "postcards" to be sent to inmates. Chief Hirokawa has agreed to hear from concerned community members, legal groups, and service providers who are opposed to the proposed policy. The administrators of the jail need to hear from the community how strongly we all feel against this policy, and why it is harmful to inmates, their families, and our collective community. Read Mercury News article for more background:? Santa Clara County jails want to limit incoming mail to small postcards

WHEN: June 5th at 6pm to 8pm.

WHERE: The Community Meeting will be held at the African America Community Service Agency 
304 N. 6th Street San Jose, CA 95112

Also: 
Read the moving set of pieces from Steeda MGruder, founder of Sisters That Been There, along with women currently incarcerated as they make the very powerful case for keeping letters in the jails: 
For Those Behind The Walls, Letters Are Our Lifelines

And see attached letter from the ACLU stating their opposition to the policy.


(For questions, or how to get involved with, The Coalition for Justice and Accountability's efforts to stop this policy, email: svdebug at newamericamedia.org)

 June 27, 2013

Hello, All:


       1.  Please use the attached minor revision of the nominating 
petition.  As noted below, we need a total of 20 signatures of Santa 
Clara County residents registered Green.  We could get this from 20 
different people signing this form (as both a nominator and a 
circulator) or from one "circulator" getting signatures from him/herself 
and 19 others or any combination in between.


       2.  At the last meeting, at least one attendee suggested we would 
not have problems collecting 20 signatures.  Without checking the 
minutes, I think we rarely get that many at any monthly meeting, but we 
often get more than half.  I don't see it as trivial, but it shouldn't 
be hard, either:  If 5 people each get one other and one gets 5 other 
Greens registered in Santa Clara County but who rarely come to our 
monthly meeting, those 10 with our regular attendees should put us over 
the required 20 -- just barely.


       3.  If anyone wants to give me a list of zip codes in Santa Clara 
County, per John's suggestion below, I can give you names, addresses and 
phone numbers of Greens with those zips.  I have a list of over 750,000 
registered voters in Santa Clara County from September 2012, of which 
4112 are Green.  I'm not completely sure what the rules are regarding 
the use of this list, except that I cannot circulate it promiscuously.  
The 4112 Greens use 117 different zip codes.  One zip includes 213 
Greens;  40 zips include only 1 Green each.  However, I'm not sure we 
need to do this.


       4.  If we don't have 20 valid signatures by June 27, we can 
reschedule the election for July 25 and devise a strategy to get the 
additional signatures we need before then.


JOHN:  Thanks for the correction.


       Spencer

FYI,

"Austerity is Killing Us"
http://www.commondreams.org/view/2013/06/05-2

It's about how government austerity policies are
causing a lot of suffering; deaths, suicides, depression,
and more.  It's about a new book ?The Body Economic:
Why Austerity Kills?.

I have not read it, but it sounds like the book
would be of great interest in those concerned about
health care.  In fact, I have just now put a hold
on it at my [Palo Alto] library.

Gerry --

If you were interested in today's protest to let Obama know,
personally, how we feel about the Keystone XL pipeline, he's
running late, so there  is time to make it after work hours.

ABC has reported that Obama is scheduled to land at Moffet Field at 6
pm.  If this is correct, we will be protesting until at least 7 pm! *If
you can?t make it until 5:30 or 6 pm, no problem,* join us!  We will
have people at Middlefield and University throughout the event to direct 
you to the rally location.

Palo Alto Daily News reports that the event will be in the 1000 block of
of Forest Ave.  That's six blocks from the University/Middlefield crossing--
two blocks toward Mountain View, and four blocks toward the bay.

Dear Green Friends, 

The California Democratic Party Hack Du Jour is disgraced Santa Clara County Supervisor George Shirakawa, Jr.

Why do I have to read about this stuff in the MSM? The California Green Party has got to stop ignoring or even defending outrages committed by our local Democratic Party Machines in places like San Francisco, San Jose, and Los Angeles.

Democratic Party Hack Du Jour: George Shirakawa
by Alex Walker 


The California Democratic Party Hack Du Jour is Disgraced Santa Clara County Supervisor George Shirakawa Jr. While awaiting sentencing for lying on campaign finance reports and gambling with public funds, Shirakawa is faced with a new charge that is downright bizarre: impersonating a political opponent. The critical evidence? Shirakawa's DNA pulled from a postage stamp on an illegal campaign hit piece. The new charges could get the supervisor-turned-defendant three more years in the pen.

 Here is the part of the story relevant to our California Green Party: Shirakawa was a solid good 'ole boy in the San Jose Democratic Party Machine. He has been strongly backed by the big labor unions. His illegal campaign "hit piece" was on behalf of a former aide, Xavier Campos, who is, himself, a relative of Democratic Assembly Member Nora Campos. Finally, Shirakawa was one of those "People of Color" we are told all progressives, including Greens, should defer to without question. And what was in his campaign "hit piece?" The piece, written in Vietnamese, accused Campos' opponent of being a Communist (you can't make this stuff up). 

 Thus, Shirakawa's saga represents everything wrong with the Democratic Party Machine politics in the U.S.A. today.   . . .

It appears that a LOT is happening about US government

on Common Dreams:

The ACLU is collecting signatures, but with so little

I agree that the Green Party should not defend the status quo in any shape or form. I was really disappointed at the choices available for District 2 Supervisor to replace Shirakawa.? Ms Alvarado's mother (a former District 2 supervisor) endorsed Shirakawa when he first ran for office.? Cindy Chavez has dirty dealings with the DA over Shirakawa and dirty dealings with the Valley Medical Foundation to explain, among other things, before she will get my vote.? And even dark horse Patricia Martinez-Roach?is openly a Shirakawa apologist, stating in her announcement to run for District 2 Supervisor that Shirakawa's legacy can only be continued, not replaced.? So if you didn't want to vote for a Sheriff's Deputy or a couple of total unknowns there was nobody to vote for on the June 4th ballot, at least if you were using a "doesn't have anything to do with Shirakawa" standard for a sniff test on who to vote for.

Deric Lostutter helped expose the Steubenville rape case, but he's now being investigated for hacking--and is facing more prison time than the actual rapists. Tell the U.S. Attorney and the Department of Justice not to prosecute Lostutter.

Dear John,
"Hacker Who Helped Expose Steubenville Could Get More Prison Time Than The 2 Convicted Rapists."
That's a real headline. And it's true.1
Deric Lostutter, also known as KYAnonymous, helped expose the now-infamous Steubenville, Ohio teen rape case and cover-up.2 Without his work, we don't know if Jane Doe would have ever received justice.
Lostutter?tracked down photos and tweets from teenagers who witnessed the rape and joked about it. He then posted a video threatening to out those who joked about the rape unless action was taken.3
Until Lostutter?exposed those photos, tweets, and posted his video, authorities in Steubenville had been slow-walking the prosecution. His posts?focused a national spotlight?on the case and created enough public outcry that authorities were forced to act.4
Now, he?s facing 10 years in prison for his role in "hacking" and uncovering this awful crime--while the actual rapists will serve no more than 2 years.5
This is flat out wrong, and outrage is building ever since news of this story broke on Friday. The U.S. Attorney and the Department of Justice could decide not to prosecute Lostutter, reduce the charges, or take prison time off the table. Public pressure is what brought justice in Steubenville in the first place, and public pressure can help end this witch hunt against Lostutter. Can you sign the petition telling the U.S. Attorney and the Department of Justice that Lostutter is a hero, not a criminal?
Tell the U.S. Attorney and the Department of Justice not to prosecute Deric Lostutter.
Lostutter?is a 26-year-old internet security consultant. He lives on a farm in Eastern Kentucky, where he likes to fish and ride his motorcycle. He read about the Steubenville teen rape case in the New York Times?but didn?t think he could do anything about it until a friend sent him the tweets and photos by teens who witnessed the attack. He told Mother Jones that he decided to post them online because "I was always raised to stick up for people who are getting bullied."6
By then, it was December of 2012--four months after the assault--and two boys had been charged with the rape but there was no trial for months, and the police were dragging their feet on the investigation.?Witnesses weren?t talking and evidence had been erased.7
The tweets and photos exposed by Lostutter?and other hackers he worked with sparked public outrage, including petitions signed by nearly 150,000 UltraViolet members demanding justice for the survivor. National media descended on the town and started asking tough questions of local authorities who were trying to sweep the whole incident under the rug.8
Now, Lostutter?tells Mother Jones that Steubenville officials are behind the FBI investigation. "They want to make an example of me, saying, 'You don't [expletive] come after us. Don't question us,'" he told the magazine.9 Town officials have resented the attention on the case since the beginning, but the truth is that without the public pressure that Lostutter?helped create, the two rapists might have gotten away with it.
It?s wrong that a rapist can serve just 1 year for a brutal assault on a 15-year-old girl, but the hacker who helped uncover the crime is facing up to 10 years in federal prison. We should be applauding Deric Lostutter, not sending him to jail. Outrage is already building over this case, and if we all speak out now, we can pressure U.S. Attorney and the Department of Justice?not to prosecute?Lostutter. Can you sign the petition?
Sign the petition.
Thanks for speaking out.

A week from Thursday? That sounds awesome!
Are there carpoolers? If not, who wants to go up on Caltrain and ride 
the rest of the way?

Or just use public transit + walking, like I do!  For me, a combination of walk -> bus -> Caltrain -> BART -> bus will work.

Google's trip planner is a quick and easy way to figure out what works for you:
  1)  go to maps.google.com
  2)  search for battery east, san francisco, ca
  3)  click the "Get directions" button
  4)  click the button with a picture of a bus (the other options are car, walking and bicycle)
  5)  battery east, san francisco, ca will appear in the "B" box (your destination)
  6)  type the address you're coming from in the "A" box
  7)  in the three drop-down menus, select "Arrive by", choose (or type) 06/20/13 for the date and enter (or select) the time you wish to arrive
  8)  click "GET DIRECTIONS"

You'll probably get something like 3 or 4 options.  Click on each one to see the route on the map and read the route description below.  At the end of the route description it also tells you total travel time, how much it will cost and how much they estimate it would cost to go by car (that cost is a link which you can click to read how they came up with the estimate).  Zoom in and out of the map to see details of any parts of the route you're curious about.  To see details like buildings, sidewalks, crosswalks, etc., switch to Satellite view (click "Satellite" in the upper right-hand corner of the map; you can always switch back to "Map" by clicking the same button).

I'm not sure if I'm going (don't know if I'm working that day), but now I know when I'll need to leave and how much it will cost.  :-)

Cheers,
Valerie

Hi folks,

Today I got an email from Restore the Delta (http://www.restorethedelta.org) announcing some upcoming screenings of "Over Troubled Waters" (http://www.overtroubledwaters.org).  Visit http://overtroubledwaters.org/screenings/ for the particulars.

One FREE screening happens at CineArts Santana Row on Thursday, July 25 at 7:00 PM (conflict with GPSCC business meeting).  There will be a Q&A Water Panel following the film.  Donations accepted but not required.

There will also be an online screening as part of the Green Unplugged Film Festival later this month, and a couple of screenings in San Francisco in July and August.  Again, see http://overtroubledwaters.org/screenings/ for details.

Best wishes,
Valerie

Subject: [GPSCC-chat] GMO OMG
Message-ID: <BAY165-W440036E5FF9F4922EF08249E860@phx.gbl>

Dear Friends,


										For the last two years, my wife, Elizabeth, has been 
volunteering her time producing a powerful documentary about GMOs, with 
talented film makers, Jeremy Seifert (Director) and Joshua Kunau 
(Producer) whose last film, ?Dive!? won dozens of film festival awards.



									
										?GMO OMG?, premiered at the prestigious 
Berlin International Film Festival this year, to very positive reviews, 
and since then it has won almost every festival it has screened at. We need your help
 to get this film's important educational message everywhere. This 
significant film project needs your help to raise an additional $100,000
 to make this happen. Please donate today.



									
													

											
													

															
											
										I strongly support this film, not simply because I have a 
brief interview in it, or because my wife Elizabeth is a producer, but 
because I have personally dedicated more time and effort on this issue 
than anyone else in government over the past 14 years.



									
										In 1999 I heard a public radio report concerning a university 
study of a population of Monarch butterflies which were killed or 
injured while feeding on genetically modified plants. I wondered, if GMO
 substances could kill or injure butterflies, could GMOs have an adverse
 effect on animals and human beings as well?



									
										Therefore, in 1999 and in each successive Congress, I 
introduced bills to test and label genetically engineered products, 
based on the simple principle that the public has a right to know how their food is made and what it contains. The bills were met with stiff opposition from the Big Ag - Bio Tech lobby, led of course by Monsanto.



									
										Fourteen years later Monsanto has a viselike grip on our 
agriculture and trade policies, infiltrating both Democratic and 
Republican administrations alike. This corporate behemoth contributes 
generously to politicians, and runs misleading advertising campaigns to 
promote GMOs.



									
										Still, the American public, if given a chance, wants to know 
if the food we are consuming is genetically engineered. This fundamental
 right of people is now being taken up at a state and federal level. 
Internationally, 64 countries have policies which require the labeling 
of GMOs. Many of those 64 countries have also severely restricted or 
banned the importation and cultivation of GMOs... And yet, we in America
 can't even get a labeling bill?!



									
										Into this mix arrives GMO OMG, a timely, beautiful, 
heart-felt film about one family's journey of discovery into the world 
of GMO's and the impact of GMO's on food, agricultural and the 
environment. It is a powerful educational and organizing tool which 
brings home the urgency of this issue. Time is running out.



									
										Please contribute to support a quick and broad release of GMO OMG and its important educational message.



									
										If you aren't in a position to personally make a donation 
today, please help join the effort to raise funds from friends and 
family. This film will make a major impact given a chance to get into 
general release.



									
										I have always been grateful for your steadfast support and willingness to take a stand with me when it mattered most!

I am a little surprised that my email is the only
one on this list about government spying.

Oh well.

Seems to me that what Congress does depends on what
it hears from the public.  So I just sent an email
to my four reps about it.  It was about 2700 chars,
so I had to delete a bit of it to get under Obama's
limit of 2500.

This is the Healthcare Movie email. You can sign up to receive. Laurie Simons 
and her husband produced the Healthcare Movie.?



If you scroll down there is a link to her blog where she describes her recent 
?journey through the unfair insurance system as she gets treatment for malignant 
melanoma on her face. 


She lists all the expenses and what her insurance will or will not pay for. She 
is 62 so not yet eligible for Medicare. Her husband also writes updates on the 
blog. I wished her well and told her that I was sending this to my lists esp. 
since many have seen their wonderful movie.

You can also contact her with a get well message. I'm sure she would find that 
comforting.

Lynn

While Obamacare does some good things, it still requires everyone to buy 
insurance from insurance companies whose reason for being is to make a profit. 
?While there may be some government help with high premium costs, needed 
coverage may still be lacking, and overall costs will continue to rise. ?It 
costs less to cover everyone than to keep dividing people into "risk pools"! ?

Single payer healthcare costs less, covers everyone, and has better outcomes.

 Things Happen....
Healthcare Movie co-producer Laurie Simons had a suspicious freckle growing on 
her cheek. ?Recent biopsies revealed malignant melanoma.

Insurance did not cover the two required surgeries, because Laurie is out of 
state and therefore, for the most part, out of network.

It's hard to hide a health problem that leaves a scar in the middle of your 
face, so Laurie and Terry have created a blog with the full story. ?Check it out 
at?www.facing-forward.net.

?Your comments are welcome.

"Health insurance is not the same as health care" ?Donna Smith

When healthcare becomes a commodity instead of a social service, people need to 
protect their financial assets from unexpected medical expenses. ?Health 
insurance does not provide you with healthcare, it only offers a way to protect 
your assets (if you are lucky and your condition qualifies for payment). ?High 
costs of healthcare are out of control in the U.S.

Recent Comment About The Healthcare Movie:
Thank you for your excellent movie. I just ordered 5 copies to distribute to 
people I know, including some of the Wisconsin State Legislature.
Here is a copy of [my] letter to the editor of the Cap Times in Madison, 
Wisconsin.
Dear Editor: I recently stopped at a garage sale at a home that was for sale and 
had a conversation with the owner. Several of her small children were riding 
their bikes in the driveway. She related to me they were selling their home and 
belongings because she and her husband were trying to pay off her medical bills 
after she had surgery in Madison. She had health insurance before she got sick, 
but when the insurer refused to pay for her heart surgery, they could not afford 
the $300,000-$400,000 doctor and hospital bills that are still piling up. The 
insurer claimed that her heart problem was a ?pre-existing condition? she had 
when she purchased the policy 20 years ago. Obviously, 20 years ago, she was not 
in the congestive heart failure that necessitated the surgery. Nonetheless, they 
used the ?pre-existing condition? to weasel out of paying for her surgery.
In 2009, while many Americans were losing their jobs and homes, five health 
insurance corporations boasted total profits of $12.2 billion ? money that they 
collected by NOT providing care to patients. Before leaving, I personally 
apologized to her for being a part this health care system. Later that evening I 
watched ?The Healthcare Movie,? which contrasts our greedy American system with 
Canada?s Medicare for ALL health care system. I strongly encourage all readers 
to view this informative (and justifiably embarrassing for Americans) movie.
Dr. Timothy Shaw, ?Fitchburg, Wisconsin?

Action Alert 
 URGENT UPDATE: The Farm Bill has passed the Senate and is currently in the House Rules Committee. It will go to the House floor on Tuesday or sometime this week for a vote, so please voice your opposition NOW.
The Farm Bill being considered in the House of Representatives contains an amendment from Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) that could wipe out animal-protection laws nationwide, including Arizona's law banning gestation crates, Michigan's law banning veal crates, and California's law banning battery cages. In fact, state factory farm confinement laws, horse slaughter bans, and puppy mill regulations are all at risk. 
Take Action 

Share this

Twitter   

Please call your U.S. representative and urge him or her to oppose King's amendment to the Farm Bill right away. You can say: "As a constituent, I'm asking you to oppose the King Amendment to the Farm Bill because, like most Americans, I want farm animals to have protection from cruelty."
Please see PETA's action alert for more information. 
Thank you for all that you do for animals.

To: 	letters at mercurynews.com



The Mercury News editorial on the Public Records Act provides good
examples of problems that would have gotten worse without transparency.
Current international news includes other examples such as Iran's
nuclear program.  Fifty years ago, the US Central Intelligence Agency
organized a coup that destroyed democracy there, replacing it with state
terror under the Shah.  In 1980 as the Iranian public stood in the
streets until the Shah fled, the US pushed Saddam Hussein to attack
Iran.  A few years later, the US provided chemical and biological
warfare technology to Saddam Hussein, which he used during that period.
Are we better off today because of these and many other acts of war
taken by the US government without the knowledge of the electorate?

p.s.  The Mercury (paper edition) reported that all the Senators and 
most of the representatives in the Assembly from the Bay Area voted for 
the budget, gutting the Public Records Act.  I just found my 
representatives in the California Assembly and Senate via 
"http://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov 
<http://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/>" and wrote them as follows:


What are your thoughts on the provision of the current budget that would 
apparently nullify the California Public Records Act?  The Mercury 
editorial on this yesterday gave several examples of problems that 
likely would have gotten worse without the present transparency.  The 
public has a need to know, and we need to encourage rather than 
discourage citizen involvement in politics. Gutting the Public Records 
Act is a step in the wrong direction, I believe.


      I agree with the Mercury -- and Assange, Manning, Snowden and 
Obama's hosts in Germany who compared the US national security apparatus 
to the East German Stasi, who recruited 15% of the population to spy on 
their fellow citizens, school children turning in their parents, etc.  I 
encourage you to write you representatives on this -- and the Mercury.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer

(http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_23485981/mercury-news-editorial-public-records-act-must-be). 
Comments?  Best Wishes, Spencer

From: 	Spencer Graves <spencer.graves at effectivedefense.org>
To: 	letters at mercurynews.com



The Mercury News editorial on the Public Records Act provides good
examples of problems that would have gotten worse without transparency.
Current international news includes other examples such as Iran's
nuclear program.  Fifty years ago, the US Central Intelligence Agency
organized a coup that destroyed democracy there, replacing it with state
terror under the Shah.  In 1980 as the Iranian public stood in the
streets until the Shah fled, the US pushed Saddam Hussein to attack
Iran.  A few years later, the US provided chemical and biological
warfare technology to Saddam Hussein, which he used during that period.
Are we better off today because of these and many other acts of war
taken by the US government without the knowledge of the electorate?

An example of one of the recommended search engines is https://startpage.com/uk/ That page says it is powered by Google, but if you hover your mouse over the Google logo you find out that your Google search is done anonymously through this portal. Nice!

I do not know the details but there was a call from

Perhaps we could have been there as well.

       I don't know their rules.  The Peace Center got a table for free 
with no electricity;  that would have cost far more than the Peace 
Center wanted to pay.  Commercial organizations had to pay.  I don't 
know how the organizers would have treated the Greens.


       Betsy and I were there yesterday 2-4 PM tabling for the Peace 
Center.  We did not get many visitors.

?   Emergency Alert: 
Lynne Stewart In Grave Danger
?
The warden of Carswell FCI agreed to forward the compassionate release petition to the DOJ. The time to increase the heat is now. 
?
?
White House vigil for Lynne Stewart?s compassionate release started onMonday, June 17th?
and is GROWING.?
KEEP THE PRESSURE ON.
?
Media Contact: Ralph Poynter
917-853-9759?- ralph.poynter at yahoo.com ??????????????
www.LynneStewart.org 
?
The continuing campaign to gain Compassionate Release for Lynne Stewart -- the grievously ill, imprisoned human rights attorney -- is headed to Washington, D.C.
?
Despite being by approved for compassionate release, Stewart continues to be held in Carswell Federal Prison in seriously deteriorating health.
?
Lynne Stewart?s spouse, the 79-year-old social justice activist Ralph Poynter, will lead a continuing vigil in front of the White House starting on Monday, June 17.
?
Poynter urges all those concerned with justice, compassion and basic human rights to join him whether they are available for an hour, for the day, or for the duration. He will be at the White House and making visits to the Federal Bureau of Prisons several blocks away, at 320 First St. NW, Washington D.C., 20534.
?
Lynne Stewart, age 73, is suffering from stage 4 cancer in her lungs. The cancer has metastasized rapidly to her lymph nodes and shoulder. She has lost 60 pounds and her condition is deteriorating rapidly. Stewart?s condition is well-known and medically documented.
?
As Poynter explains: ?Lynne has passed all of the legalities of compassionate release and qualifies for release as the bill was written. The prison warden at Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, has signed for her release, and so has the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Charles R. Samuels. Probation officers charged with inspecting Lynne?s future residence approved her housing. All that is required by the statute of compassionate release has been done. Yet Lynne is still in jail! Every day that her release is postponed makes treatment of her cancer more difficult.?
?
The national campaign for Stewart?s Compassionate Release started more than three months ago, in early March. Thousands of petitions were sent and thousands of phone calls made urging her release. The warden at Carswell Federal Prison recommended her immediate compassionate release six weeks ago.
?
As the Lynne Stewart Defense Committee has explained, Stewart is not guilty of any crimes. In representing a prisoner charged with terrorism, Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, Stewart was unjustly convicted of delivering a simple press release for her client.
?
All those who are concerned with Lynne?s health and unable to get to Washington, D.C., are urged to continue calling the White House, Attorney General and Federal Bureau of Prisons and sending petitions.
?

Hi, Sandy et al.:


       1.  There needs to be an election for the County Council, 
announced in an email May 24 and on our web site since then. (This 
should take only about 5 minutes unless someone wishes to volunteer to 
join our county council or dispute some of our current members.


*** WE NEED AT LEAST 20 SIGNATURES ON NOMINATING PETITIONS OF PEOPLE 
REGISTERED GREEN IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY.  IF YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO 
ATTEND, COULD YOU PLEASE PRINT THE PETITION I EMAILED JUNE 4, SIGN IT, 
AND GET IT BACK TO ME (EITHER A SCANNED IMAGE OR BY USPS)?  IF YOU CAN'T 
PRINT OR CAN'T FIND THAT PETITION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  If we have 20 
valid signatures, we can have the election.  Otherwise, we need a plan 
to get the remaining signatures we need.  In either case, we could 
probably dispense with this item in 5 minutes.


       2.  Could we discuss and vote on a resolution something like the 
following:


             * The Green Party of Santa Clara County supports the 
following initiatives for electoral reform:  Overturning Citizens 
United, citizen-funded election and news, the US and California Disclose 
Acts, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (that requires 
participating states to commit all their electoral votes to the 
candidate who wins the popular vote), and Instant-runoff voting (as 
outlined in the Wikipedia article on "Electoral reform in the United 
States").  The Green Party of Santa Clara County will collaborate with 
all other organizations working to pass these issues including getting 
supporting resolutions passed at local and state levels as appropriate.  
This includes in particular Move to Amend and Rootstrikers.


*** NOTE:  These issues are discussed in the Wikipedia article on 
"Electoral reform in the United States".  (I've been editing that 
article and could use input from any of you on how it could be improved.)


       Thanks,
       Spencer

Message-ID: <51C78661.1000308@prodsyse.com>

Hello, All:


WIKIPEDIA


       1.  Might you have time to review and comment on the Wikipedia 
article on "Electoral reform in the United States"?  Your comments could 
help improve that article.  (I wrote much of the current text.)


             1.1.  I've asked for time on the agenda for the Green party 
meeting this Thursday for a resolution supporting a list of reforms 
mentioned there and for collaborating with other organizations in 
promoting these reforms.


             1.2.  I've just completed a substantial revision of that 
article, and I'd be pleased to have any suggestions you may have for how 
to improve that Wikipedia article.


CITIZEN-FUNDED NEWS


       2.  The single most important reform I think we need is 
citizen-funded news.  The lack of adequate investigative journalism in 
the US today seems to me to be a primary obstacle to reasonable progress 
against all the other major problems facing the US and the world today.  
Unfortunately, no organization I know is working on this.


             2.1.  I hope the Santa Clara Greens will pass the proposed 
resolution on this and other reforms at our meeting this Thursday.


             2.2.  I also hope I can get suggestions and perhaps other 
help from you all on how to promote this and other electoral reforms 
with other groups and individuals.


       I hope to see you Thursday.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer

         This petition was posted yesterday on the official White House
         site, "We /the/ People."  With 150,000 signatures in the next
         month, not only will we get an official White House response, we
         will also demonstrate widespread support for strong and urgent
         climate action.  Please consider signing and helping it go viral.

Barbara Fukumoto


         WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:


   Declare War on Carbon and use Executive Powers to focus the US' fight
   against Climate Change as part of "World War C."

Climate Change is the greatest threat to our security, our children's
future and global stability since World War II. We have already lost
lives and suffered huge economic impacts with Katrina and Sandy, which
cost the US over $100 Billion, record droughts, flooding, tornadoes,
fires, crop losses and much, much more.

The US has responded militarily to provocations much less threatening,
even putting our nation into debt to secure our safety. Yet, climate
change threatens mankind's survival on the planet. Ot her nations are
already taking emergency actions.

The U.S. can organize and lead the global attack against this threat
using our military, industry, entrepreneurs and all resources at the
disposal of the President. Nothing less will do, if we want to save our
children's future.

Friends,

Well, some good news: five years in, we're starting to see at least the
outlines of a strategy from President Obama to deal with climate change.

He's clearly heard the clamor that you have raised, and Tuesday at 1:35
PM EDT, he will make a speech in DC laying out his plans.

*We hope you'll join in watching it -- there will be a 350.org virtual
watch party, hosted on our site, where you can watch and see analysis as
it happens via our Twitter account.* For those of you who use twitter,
tweet in with the hashtag #ForwardOnClimate to be a part of the
conversation on our site. If you can bring together friends or even some
coworkers around for a quick break to watch with us, that would be
excellent too.

*To join the watch party, just click here when the time comes:
act.350.org/thanks/watch-party-obama-climate-speech/
<http://act.350.org/go/3352?t=1&akid=3281.8388.T_AP3U>*

*If you'd like a reminder to tune in, just click this link and we'll
send you an email a little bit before the speech tomorrow:
act.350.org/sign/obama-watch-party-reminder/
<http://act.350.org/go/3353?t=2&akid=3281.8388.T_AP3U>*

*As for the speech itself, here's what I'm hoping for: tough action on
emissions from coal-fired power plants.* Local activists and groups like
the Sierra Club have done a great job in facing down the expansion plans
of the coal industry in recent years, blocking dozens of proposed coal
plants. The industry is weakened enough that the administration may be
willing to challenge it more directly with regulations on existing power
plants -- and this would be indeed be an important step forward.

*And here's what I'm not expecting: anything at all about the Keystone
XL pipeline.* That is still wending its way through a twisted
bureaucratic process. But if I was being optimistic, I'd say tomorrow's
speech makes eventual victory more likely: the President is above all a
logical man, and kicking off a climate action plan only to approve a tar
sands pipeline is like saying you're ready to quit smoking then buying a
carton of Marlboros.

At any rate, we'll do all that we can think of to keep up the pressure.
If this were a race, you can think of this speech as the starter's
pistol, after a long slog to get the runners all lined up. There is
still a race yet to run.

Your hard work made this possible. Given the siege of extreme weather we
now see daily around the planet, it's one of many steps we need to take.
But it is in the right direction, and that?s good news.

Bill McKibben

 The Supreme Court's Citizens United decision unleashed unlimited, anonymous corporate spending on campaigns.? Over $425 million was spent last year on ballot measures in California alone, with most of the money hiding behind misleading names.? That's why we need to pass SB 52 (Leno-Hill), the?California DISCLOSE Act, to make sure that people know who is really paying for political ads. 
? 
SB 52,?the?California DISCLOSE Act,?would: 
	* Replace current deceptive "Paid for by" disclosures with real disclosure, making the top funders of the ad boldly and explicitly clear ON THE AD ITSELF.  
	* Require that ads have a link to a website showing the top ten funders.   
 Tell voters who is really funding propositions and attack ads when it counts!?

Probation.? Whenever I was late to school, the police would be
surrounding our campus giving out truancy tickets.? After a few
times getting tickets, my Probation was violated, and I was sent to
juvenile hall. 
>?
>From the time I entered the gate at juvenile hall, I felt anxious and
hopeless.?? I remember the sound and sight of the big, bulky,
metal wire gate opening up and then shutting behind me. 
>?
>I took showers with a staff watching from the beginning to the end.?
And there was no curtain on the window, so I could also see male staff
come around during showers for the whole time I was locked up.
>?
>For the first few days, I was very distant.? I wouldn?t eat or go to
the day room (a large room where you could sit with other people).?
I felt unsure and uncomfortable.? But instead of trying to counsel
me, the Probation staff just stopped talking to me ? they even stopped
asking if I wanted food or dayroom time.? Even though I wasn?t on
lock-down, I felt like I was in solitary confinement already. 
>?
>I guess the staff thought I was depressed, so then they put me on
lockdown for real - no cell mate, no dayroom time, no hope.? The
rooms are about 5 feet by ten feet with a metal door and a small
shatter-proof window that you can see out of into a small part of the
hall if you stand on your toes.? With the exception of the door, the
walls are all cinderblock, painted white.? Some sections of the wall
are covered in gang-related tagging and brown stains that look like
smeared feces or blood.? 
>?
>Almost everyone in lock down was in shorts and a tee shirt.? The air
conditioning would be on full-blast.? It was freezing.??
Once in that cell, you would not come out again until it was time again
to take your shower ? 23 hours later.
>?
>I felt completely unwanted and unnoticed.? I started to feel tense
when any of the guards came close to my cell, paranoid that I had done
something wrong, when in reality, I had been by myself for 23 hours of
the day. 
>?
>It is by far the worst feeling I had ever experienced.
>?
>There were also girls in the unit who tried to kill themselves or cut
themselves, and they were also put in the box.? You had little or no
human contact, except when you were brought food or the nurse brought
some people their meds.? I even know people who hid their meds in
their mouth so they could save them up to get a stronger high.
>?
>I believe that the cruel and unusual punishment of the SHU made it easier
for the Probation Department to treat everyone in juvenile hall this
way.? Once you get used to locking a person in a cage, it becomes
normal for you.? You don?t notice how harmful it is, and these
conditions start to spread throughout the facility.? Even for people
who weren?t on lock down, nights for everyone were also under lock-down
conditions.? From 8pm or 9pm until 6am, you are locked into a single
person cell that looks exactly like the box.? It?s also freezing,
and if you?re found with an extra blanket or sweatshirt, you are accused
of having contraband and punished.? We had no books or writing
materials, so nights were endless ? just you, your thoughts and the
screams or crying of the young people in the cells next to you. The
sheets and underwear were often stained with urine, blood and
feces.?? Just like in the box, people had to beg to use the
restroom, were ignored or told to shut up, and were sometimes forced to
pee on the floor or into a towel or sheet.??? 
>?
>Your family and the community expect that you are safe and
unharmed.?? In reality you might be safe from other youth ? but
not from yourself.? Being locked down makes you feel that you are
worthless to society.? You start to think about any way to escape ?
even if it means suicide.? When I got home, I felt I had
changed.? My family could not believe my experience ? and it
constantly made me feel like I was a bad person.? That feeling of
hopelessness had only increased.
>?
>I think all young people deserve something better that a 23-hour
cell.? If we need to heal or calm down, the best thing would be to
create a nature park, or have us work outside to grow food, or take
vocational trainings so we are ready to start our lives over after
release.

The news coverage of Obama's speech on climate change was disgraceful. Not even kpfa.org had full coverage of his speech. CNN had a snippet on their news channel and claimed that the whole speech was being broadcast on cnn.com/live. But going to that site I saw nothing at all, not even the George Zimmerman trial, which CNN devoted most of their cable broadcast to.? I'm not a big fan of Obama and I think that his speech would be mostly a "do as I say and not as I do" type of thing, but it at least deserves to be heard by as wide an audience as possible. I suppose it will be posted to the whitehouse.gov web site later. Oh well....

Friends,

Well, some good news: five years in, we're starting to see at least the
outlines of a strategy from President Obama to deal with climate change.

He's clearly heard the clamor that you have raised, and Tuesday at 1:35
PM EDT, he will make a speech in DC laying out his plans.

*We hope you'll join in watching it -- there will be a 350.org virtual
watch party, hosted on our site, where you can watch and see analysis as
it happens via our Twitter account.* For those of you who use twitter,
tweet in with the hashtag #ForwardOnClimate to be a part of the
conversation on our site. If you can bring together friends or even some
coworkers around for a quick break to watch with us, that would be
excellent too.

*To join the watch party, just click here when the time comes:
act.350.org/thanks/watch-party-obama-climate-speech/
<http://act.350.org/go/3352?t=1&akid=3281.8388.T_AP3U>*

*If you'd like a reminder to tune in, just click this link and we'll
send you an email a little bit before the speech tomorrow:
act.350.org/sign/obama-watch-party-reminder/
<http://act.350.org/go/3353?t=2&akid=3281.8388.T_AP3U>*

*As for the speech itself, here's what I'm hoping for: tough action on
emissions from coal-fired power plants.* Local activists and groups like
the Sierra Club have done a great job in facing down the expansion plans
of the coal industry in recent years, blocking dozens of proposed coal
plants. The industry is weakened enough that the administration may be
willing to challenge it more directly with regulations on existing power
plants -- and this would be indeed be an important step forward.

*And here's what I'm not expecting: anything at all about the Keystone
XL pipeline.* That is still wending its way through a twisted
bureaucratic process. But if I was being optimistic, I'd say tomorrow's
speech makes eventual victory more likely: the President is above all a
logical man, and kicking off a climate action plan only to approve a tar
sands pipeline is like saying you're ready to quit smoking then buying a
carton of Marlboros.

At any rate, we'll do all that we can think of to keep up the pressure.
If this were a race, you can think of this speech as the starter's
pistol, after a long slog to get the runners all lined up. There is
still a race yet to run.

Your hard work made this possible. Given the siege of extreme weather we
now see daily around the planet, it's one of many steps we need to take.
But it is in the right direction, and that?s good news.

Bill McKibben

The video is now posted on www.whitehouse.gov on the home page.? It was a good speech.? Obama claimed that the US has already reduced carbon emissions for instance, though he did give one shameless plug for the new nuclear power plants that are being built in the US.

       I've heard from no one other than you, and I'm concerned that we 
may not get 20.

>RELEASE: Obama's climate proposals fall dangerously short, ignore
time-critical opportunity to revive the economy
>? Wednesday, June 26, 2013 ~ Jill Stein, President, Green Shadow Cabinet
>
>? The Green Shadow Cabinet said today that while President Obama's
call for the Environental Protection Agency to strengthen regulation of
carbon emissions from existing power plants was a long overdue step in
the right direction, his ?all of the above? approach to energy is still a
disaster for the climate.
>
>? Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party's 2012 presidential nominees
noted, "You can't give your child an 'all of the above diet' with
toxic lead and arsenic, and think that adding some spinach and
blueberries is going to make it OK. Likewise, reducing carbon pollution
from coal does not make fracking, tar sands oil, deep water and Arctic
drilling OK. The climate is spiraling into runaway warming. Obama's
promotion of cheap dirty fossil fuels makes coal regulations just window
dressing on a disastrous policy."
>
>? In addition to its broad concerns on fossil fuel use, the Cabinet
strongly opposes the Obama administration's continued push to revitalize
the expensive, dangerous, nuclear power industry. The massive subsidies
required by the nuclear industry siphon away funds needed to expand
renewable energy. Nuclear power still has lethal, unsolvable, long term
waste-storage problems. In addition, the White House's proposed plants
could not be built in time to have a significant impact on greenhouse gas
emissions.
>
>? President Obama's proposals fall far short of an urgently-needed
Green New Deal to revive the American economy with clean, renewable
energy. The Green New Deal would create 25 million jobs, particularly
jobs that transition us to a carbon-free economy. It would be paid for
through cuts to the military budget, elimination of the $40 billion in
subsidies for fossil fuels and nukes, a Wall Street transaction tax
yielding $100s of billions in revenue per year, and requiring the wealthy
to pay their fair share.
>
>? As an example, a recent Stanford University report showed how NY
could convert to 100% renewable energy by 2030 in a program that would
create jobs and pay for the costs of conversion with health care savings
alone. ( "Examining the Feasibility of Converting New York State's
All-Purpose Energy Infrastructure to One Using Wind, Water and
Sunlight", co-authored by Stanford University Professor Mark
Jacobson,)
>
>? The Cabinet also pointed to Germany?s energy transformation,
(Energiewende), that shifts from nuclear and fossil fuels to
renewables. Thanks in large part to its Green Party, Germany will cut
greenhouse-gas emissions by 40% relative to 1990 levels by 2020. By
comparison, the goals set by President Obama translate to only a 4% cut
in emissions - about one-tenth of the German commitment. The Cabinet also
calls for a feed-in tariff program that Germany has used to create a
vibrant renewable energy sector ? benefitting small businesses,
homeowners, farmers and communities - by insuring profitable rates for
renewable power. This has helped fuel Germany?s vigorous economy, and put
renewable energy technology on track to be the major employment sector in
the nation within the decade.
>
>? To help put us on a similar path, the Green Shadow Cabinet calls
for Congress to impose fees on the use of carbon. In addition, the
federal government should also use its immense purchasing power to drive
the development of clean renewable energy, conservation and
efficiency.
>
>? EPA should accelerate and increase fuel efficiency standards.
Under the Clean Air Act, it should phase out the use of HFCs and replace
them with alternatives that protect the ozone layer without contributing
to greenhouse gas emissions. Under the Clean Water Act, it should set
standards for acid pollution in water to reduce the negative impact
carbon dioxide has on coral, plankton, shell fish and other marine
animals.? It should approve the petition by the Center for
Biological Diversity to revise water quality criteria in light of new
scientific information about ocean acidification, adopting a criterion
for pH stating: ?For marine waters, pH should not deviate measurably from
naturally occurring pH levels as a result of absorption of anthropogenic
carbon dioxide.?
>
>? The Cabinet challenged Obama's escalating development of extreme
fossil fuels that has been the major focus of ?all of the above? -
mountain top removal of coal, fracked oil and gas, deep water and Arctic
drilling, and tar sands oil. The world already has five times as much
oil, coal and gas available as climate scientists say the atmosphere can
tolerate if global temperature rise is to stay below the internationally
accepted limit of two degrees Celsius.? So rather than drill for
more fossil fuels, we must keep 80 percent of those reserves locked away
safely underground to avoid a climate disaster. In order to achieve this,
and protect the climate for everyone rather than corporate profits for a
few, we need to consider making energy a democratically-controlled public
utility, with a mission to take us from fossil fuels to renewables at
least cost.? 
>
>? Steve Breyman, EPA Adminstrator for the Green Shadow Cabinet,
noted that, "Obama's 'all of the above' energy strategy is
unrealistic and cowardly. It's overly expensive and unscientific. It
ignores climate change and generates waste that remains dangerous for a
thousand generations. Rather than face up to even a single powerful
industry--nuclear, coal, oil, or gas--the President punted. Actually, he
went golfing with fossil fuel company executives. We end up having to
fight the Keystone XL pipeline, with the likelihood that the President
will ultimately approve it, paving the way to full exploitation of the
Canadian tar sands, a development called 'game over' for the climate by
James Hansen."
>
>? Breyman added that, "International leadership, a major theme
of the President's speech, is only possible when national policy is at
the leading edge. Unfortunately, Obama has yet to match the carbon
reduction policies we see in other countries, including China, the
world's other global warming superpower. The U.S. has been both the major
contributor to climate change and the major denier of the need for action
at both the domestic and international level. Enacting policies proposed
by the Green Shadow Cabinet would put America in a good position to lead
internationally.?
>
>? Stein concluded her comments by stating that, ?The fact that 80%
of climate warming has occurred since 1980 shows how this crisis is
accelerating. We now have unprecedented storms, permanent drought
("megadrought") in the American southwest, and just witnessed
three major forest fires in California and Colorado in springtime that
would normally happen only after a long hot dry summer. In short, we
don't have time for false assurance while climate catastrophe continues
to escalate.?
>
>? ?The American people understand that real progress on climate is
urgently needed, and support this in poll after poll. The obstacle to
progress is the American political establishment - bought and paid for by
fossil fuel companies and closely allied Wall Street interests.? Obama
himself was the third largest recipient of campaign donations from the
oil and gas industry in the last election cycle, receiving more than
$800,000.
>
>? "The question of the hour is not how to persuade the American
people to do the right thing on climate. It's how to force our hijacked
political establishment to act in our interests - for the climate, and
for our economy. Congress and the President continue to throw us under
the bus on both counts, inflicting austerity on everyday people - cutting
Medicare, social security, schools, etc. - while they squander trillions
on wars, Wall Street bailouts and tax giveaways for the wealthy,"
said Stein.
>
>? ?We cannot wait to reclaim our children?s future ? and our future.
We must act now. If Obama won?t lead, the people will find a way to
provide that leadership. It?s not the President?s legacy that?s at stake.
It?s ours.?

>
>? By and 5-4 vote today, June 25, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court has
sanctioned the return of apartheid in nine states in our union that have
a long legacy of blocking black and Latino voters.
>
>? The Court struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965
that required nine states, all but one former Confederate states, to seek
pre-clearance from the U.S. Justice Department prior to changing election
laws. The states are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
>
>? Blatant racist attacks on the U.S. electorate have been the
deliberate strategy of the Republican Party, in particular, since its
theft of the 2000 presidential election in Florida.
>
>? In 2000, the Republican Party overtly embraced old-fashioned Jim
Crow tactics, targeting former felons as a pretext for stripping 90,000
poor and minority voters from the voting rolls. A majority of the
illegally purged voters were African American.
>
>? In 2004, the Republicans shifted these deliberate racist tactics
to the pivotal battleground state of Ohio. More than 300,000 voters were
eliminated from registration rolls in heavily Democratic urban areas such
as Toledo and Cincinnati. In the city of Cleveland 24.93% of all voters
in the 2000 presidential election vanished from the voting rolls.
Republican Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, Ohio?s first black
elected official, deployed a wide range of deceptive methods aimed at
disenfranchising poor and minority voters. Also, urban areas were
short-changed on voting machines and denied paper backup ballots. Tens of
thousands of minority voters were forced to use the ?back of the bus?
provisional ballots, which often went uncounted or were
discarded.
>
>? So successful were these new Jim Crow tactics in Ohio, the
Republicans purged another 1.2 million in the 2008 election in the
Buckeye State. They repeated this in 2012,? purging 1.25 million
more voters.
>
>? Also in 2012, led by Georgia and Indiana, GOP-controlled
legislatures began passing laws demanding state-issued photo ID cards for
all voters. New York University?s Brennan Center estimated that such laws
would disenfranchise more than 10 million voters. It is precisely this
type of law that will go into effect in Texas as a result of this June 25
Supreme Court decision.
>
>? Poor, minority and elderly voters who do not drive, often do not
have a photo ID. Moreover, forcing people who do not need a driver?s
license or state-issued photo ID card should constitute an illegal poll
tax.
>
>? The Supreme Court ruling removes the last remnants of protection
for poor and minority voters and will openly invite new and creative ways
to repress the most vulnerable people in our society.
>
>? What the Supreme Court should have done is expand the principles
of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into the emerging Jim Crow states of
Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.? 
>
>? What the Green Shadow Cabinet proposes goes far beyond a voting
rights act. A new federal voting rights law, followed by a constitutional
voting rights amendment must be passed guaranteeing all U.S. citizens the
right to vote. In the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr., ultimately we
will be judged as a democracy by what we do to protect and defend the
most vulnerable of our sisters and brothers.

If there is no other speaker, I'd like to play the prototype Greencast (ie. Green pod-/ogg-cast) "GreenTekValley" that I did for my "Political Economy of Silicon Valley" class at De Anza college.? It's about 15 minutes long.? We can discuss the possibilities that doing the ongoing Greencast it raises for our party.

>This summer two powerful forces, 350BayArea.org and the environmental justice groups organizing in Richmond, California, are coming together and taking action in Northern California to stop climate chaos and move towards a just, renewable region and world.
>350BayArea.org and the Bay Area climate movement brought 5,000 people together for Forward on Climate on February 17th, making it the biggest climate mobilization in Northern California history and the largest in the US after the 40,000 people at the national rally in DC.
>Environmental justice and community groups who organize in the shadow of the Chevron Richmond oil refinery, the largest greenhouse gas emitter in the entire state, have stood up to Chevron and won an amazing series of victories that have broken the 100 year cycle of Chevron running Richmond as a ?company town.? These victories have included stopping Chevron?s dirty crude refinery expansion project, and the Richmond Progressive Alliance winning elections of the mayor and city council members in spite of millions spent by Chevron.
>Earlier this month the Contra Costa Times revealed that Chevron and the other four Bay Area refineries were already refining tar sands oil from Canada brought to the Bay Area by rail and that they want more! On August 3rd, the anniversary of the big refinery fire last year, this powerful alliance is bringing together a mass mobilization in Richmond to stand up to Chevron's pollution and their drive to refine more dirty tar sands. 
>Can you be there? Click here to join: joinsummerheat.org/bay/
>The festival resistance may include a parade of sunflowers, and here's why. At one of our early meetings, a young local urban farming organizer from Richmond described his vision of people marching through the streets to the Chevron Refinery, carrying hundreds of sunflowers aloft and then planting sunflower seeds or starts (sunflowers can help de-toxify soil, making it a good symbol for removing Chevrons toxins) at the refinery when we arrive. When I saw him last Saturday with a group of high school kids who had taken over an abandoned lot in Richmond/San Pablo and were transforming it into another urban garden, he said he had bought 1000 sunflower seeds and that we would plant them together soon.
>This event has incredible potential to bring together thousands on the doorstep of the largest climate polluter in the state, and to build the movement to stop climate chaos. To realize that potential we need you. You can participate in the march and rally with no risk of arrest, or for those who choose to, there will an option of nonviolent direct action or civil disobedience.
>Click here to sign up -- and once you do, can you also do at least one of these three things?
>1) Spread the word: Can you invite your community, network, friends, co-workers, fellow students and family? You can start by forwarding this email with a note from you, and a follow up phone call or meeting goes a long way -- we'll need everyone who can pitching in in every way they can to make this work
>2) Get our message on BART: Laurie from our ambitious, creative Outreach Committee writes, ?We are trying a new form of outreach.?? We have decided to advertise our regional Summer Heat mobilization on 14? BART stations for 2 weeks prior to the action.? By putting mini billboards up in Bay Area transportation hubs, we hope to broaden our base beyond our usual networks."
>We are over halfway to being able to fund this project -- can you help us get our message out on BART??? Click here to donate to fund BART billboards: 350bayarea.nationbuilder.com/donate
>3) Participate in nonviolent direct action: Can you join us in heeding the ?Summer Heat? call to action and risking arrest? We will plan a peaceful, well-organized effective nonviolent action, with lots of training to prepare, and legal support to make sure everyone is taken care of.?
>*Training Teach-in for anyone interested in supporting or participating nonviolent direct action, we are preparing a series of trainings before the action. We are still in the process of setting trainings up in the Bay Area and we may be able to send a trainer to your town if you have a group of 20 or more who would like to join. Check joinsummerheat.org/bay/ for the schedule.
>* Form a Group to participate in the action: Organize an "affinity group" of people who will participate in (or support those who do) nonviolent direct action on August 3 from your organization, your friends, family, community, congregation, union, school, neighborhood, etc. More info on affinity groups here.

Caroline:  Fred had an event Tuesday about the minimum wage.  People in 
Mt. View are working to raise the minimum wage there, following the 
increase in San Jos?.

       Plan:  Show the movie and have a panel (1) health care, (2) Green 
party, and (3) immigrants.  ACA = Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).


       Sandy still needs to confirm a space.  We should  not start 
telephoning until 3 weeks before the event.  The key to advancing health 
care in CA is involving Latinos, because ACA disproportionately excludes 
Latinos.


       Plan tentatively to use 7 Trees, in a Latino Neighborhood.

> 8:20-8:35 Report on May 29 Day of Action, June 6 Obama protest and 
> other climate change activities.


       May 25 Monsanto protest:  500 - 1,000 people in downtown San Jos? 
marching from Cesar Chavez park ... .  Enthusiastic crowd but no sound.


       May 29 & June 6 people in multiple places between 100 and 500 
people.


       June 11:  Keystone pipeline protest in Milbrae esp. against 
Facebook shareholder meeting.


       350.org meets tomorrow night.

> 8:35-8:50 Report back by delegates from State meeting, June 22-23.

       Warner:  (1) Warner made his objection re. the Standing General 
Assembly.  Agenda was approved under the new rules but not the old (60% 
but not 2/3).  19 yes, 12 no, many abstentions.  one vote would have 
changed the result.


             (2) Breakout session for Finance Committee Saturday PM. 
They plan to organize a separate subcommittee for fund raising.


             (3) Campaign & candidates working group Sunday AM:


       Gerry:  more upset that Warner is with the coup to the party. 
Also has questions about the finance committee.  Someone hacked the 
account.  People asked questions and did NOT get good answers, but 
apparently the funds were recovered.


       Caroline:  Green issues meeting:  People at a loss for what to 
do.  Caroline described picking 2 issues, building coalitions. Others 
seemed enthused about that.


        Drew:  Also unhappy about the Standing General Assembly having 
powers to change the bylaws.  GROW = grass roots organizing working 
group.  We need 120K+ or we lose our ballot access.


       Dana:  was an alternate who became a delegate.  She was proud of 
our delegation.  Everyone comported themselves well.


(only 30? people total attendance)


       Next plenary in Sonoma:


       Gerry, Drew, Dana, and Warner (and Caroline) will see if there 
are other people who want to spend time on this.

> 8:50-9:00 Election for County Council.


       Drew counted 21 signatures.  Spencer will scan the lists and 
check to ensure that they are registered Green in Santa Clara County.  
Drew and Andrea expressed concerns about the lack of gender balance.  
However, they agreed to stand aside.  We have consensus.  Spencer will 
scan the lists and offer to send to Sanda Everett and Alex Chantz to 
confirm that we've complied with the rules.


       For the future,there may be rule changes.  We need to stay on top 
of the rule changes.

> 9:00-9:10 Appointment of new term Standing General Assembly GPSCC members


       Warner:  We are entitled to 5 members on this SGA.


       TheCC (state Coordinating Committee) 12 memberselected, 6 men, 6 
women. The CC is responsible for scheduling meeting, dealing with the 
Secretary of State, and other admin tasks -- to the extent that this can 
be done with a monthly phone call and a fairly active email list.  The 
self-asserted powers of the SGA are equal to a state-wide meeting.


       Are there any other volunteers for the SGA?


       Drew, Spencer and John have agreed to serve on the SGA.  Need 
females but standing aside. Consensus.

It seems to me unclear whether I am the preparer
for the next meeting or this meeting.  How about
"and next meeting agenda preparer:  Gerry"?

I am glad you said "apparently" because I am not 100% sure

There were 36 delegate cards, and at least one person
who was not a delegate.  I would guess there were
about 40 in attendance.

I could be wrong, but I thought the decision was just to inform
them of the results, and to NOT provide documentation unless
asked.

The San Francisco Mime Troupe will be performing
"Oil and Water" at Mitchell Park in Palo Alto at 7PM on July 9th,
(just 11 days away).

Performances are free, donations requested at the
END of the show.

I think it's partly about global warming.

I could be wrong, but I thought the decision was just to inform
them of the results, and to NOT provide documentation unless
asked.

Gerry



 I believe Gerry is correct. Sandy

It seems to me unclear whether I am the preparer

I am glad you said "apparently" because I am not 100% sure

There were 36 delegate cards, and at least one person
who was not a delegate.  I would guess there were
about 40 in attendance.

Subj: Green Educator seeks San Jose  Host



I am an elected Alameda County Council member for the  Green Party. I am 
also an environmental educator. I am looking for someone who  lives near the 
campus of San Jose State University who will let me stay at  their place for 
a few nights in July. All I need is a place on the floor to  roll out my air 
mattress and sleeping bag; and access to a bathroom.  
I?ve been accepted into two teacher professional  development classes on 
the teaching of climate change. I live in Oakland and I  would love to avoid 
either a lot of round-trip driving or local San Jose hotel  costs. 
I already have a gracious host for my second class  at San Jose State (July 
15-19). All I  am lacking is a host for three nights for my first class, 
which runs from July  8-10. I am seeking a place to stay for Sunday, Monday 
and Tuesday nights (July  7-9). (If Sunday evening is an awkward time for me 
to arrive, I could also  drive to the class on Monday morning and only stay 
at your place for Monday  and Tuesday nights.)
If you can host me, or know of someone who can, please  call me at my home 
phone: (510) 547-7589, or email me at: _aaronreaven at hotmail.com_ 
(mailto:aaronreaven at hotmail.com) . 
Thanks very much for any leads, suggestions or offers,  Aaron  Reaven

Thomas Homer-Dixon is a professor at the
University of Waterloo in Ontario:
http://www.homerdixon.com/biography/ .

I think of him as a think tank guy.

I just received a newsletter from his office,
(I subscribed years ago).  I think you might
find some of his info interesting.


He provides a link to a Canadian "Reality Check"
website:
http://oilsandsrealitycheck.org/


NOTE: There is some redundancy of info between
the next 2 articles.

Here's an article for the New York Times:
"The Tar Sands Disaster"
http://www.homerdixon.com/2013/04/01/the-tar-sands-disaster/
"IF President Obama blocks the Keystone XL pipeline once and for all,
he?ll do Canada a favor."
(He says Canadians do not support the tar sands usage.)

Here's a short debate between Homer-Dixon and a tar
sands supporter (also Canadian):
"Oil Sands Debate"
http://www.homerdixon.com/2013/06/03/oil-sands-debate/
"Resolved: The oil sands industry is distorting Canada?s economy and
eroding its democracy in ways that will exact an enormous cost on our
society over the long term."


And here's 41 articles, including the above two:

Subject: [GPSCC-chat] Obama and the War on Terror
Message-ID: <BAY165-W1735702FBBBF0774CBC1C09E700@phx.gbl>

Paul George is a very well-organized speaker and he's had a month to reflect on Obama's talk.  Last time I saw Paul speak it was to about 75 people in Mountain View about the economic crash.  The mayor was there.  Within a few weeks the City Council of Mountain View had passed a resolution in favor of amending the Constitution to end corporate personhood.  

This should be a very informative and thoughtful talk. 


Did the President's National Security Speech Really Change Anything?             A talk by
 Paul George
 Director, Peninsula Peace and Justice Center             On
 May 23, President Barack Obama gave a major policy speech on the 
so-called war on terror. It was, on the surface at least, a clear and 
welcome call for a change. It was also clear that Obama was responding 
to tremendous public pressure to end the policies of his reviled 
predecessor, something he has failed to do thus far. But how far does 
his new policy outline go toward actually ending the perpetual war that 
has gripped our nation since 9/11? And what might the actual new 
national security program look like? In this talk, our speaker will dig 
deep into the President's address, keeping the historic context in mind,
 to find out if our country's endless war might actually be ending.
             Paul
 George has been a grassroots human rights activist and organizer for 
over 40 years. He is the director of Peninsula Peace and Justice Center,
 the Peninsula's leading activist organization. Paul is a frequent 
public speaker on a range of topics. Audiences have been enthusiastic 
about his sharp analyses and clear explanations of complex national 
policies.             Sponsored by the Humanist Community in Silicon Valley
