Alternative parties, or People's parties works for me (really the opposition or suppressed parties ), though I don't mind minor parties.
Luis Rodriguez sends his apologies that the 24th will notbepossible for him to come speak with us and we are trying to find analternative date. We may be able to bring him to De Anza, and hopefully somewhere in San José as well.
Green is GO!
