[GPSCC-chat] Messaging for Prop 49, the Overturn Citizens United Advisory Measure on the California ballot, Nov. 4, 2014

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Caroline:


       Yes, please send me the 350.org notifications of upcoming events 
you mentioned.


       What can you tell me about why "they don't get posted"?  Do you 
get an error message?  What do you do why you "have tried"?


       Thanks,
       sg

I had rubber stamps made and Jim Doyle came over and helped stamp. Sandy went to the healthcare meeting. I have tried to send along 350.org notifications of upcoming events, but they don't get posted. Shall I just send them to you?
