Continued  Discussion regarding priorities for  speakers topics at meetings 
– Sandy Perry (15 Minutes) 
Sandy  Perry proposal:  That our local  GPSCC adopt two issue campaigns in 
order to concentrate our local work, increase  our impact, and grow: climate 
change and single payer health care.  This does not mean we would drop 
other  issues or refrain from endorsing other causes. Above all, it does not 
mean any  member has to stop doing work he or she as an individual feels called 
to do.   
It  means we would devote more collective thought, discussion, planning, 
and meeting  time to two campaigns with the idea of making a breakthrough in 
expanding our  ranks and influence. We would build our monthly meeting agenda 
around planning  how to advance our work around these issues…  This would 
not replace our ongoing tasks  of running in local elections… and registering 
Green voters… (See full text on  GPSCC discussion email list)

ten key values.
