       Work with Caroline:  We can speak if we have a speaker.  Caroline 
will not be there. Sandy will be doing something else.  We need a 
speaker.  Large event, ~ 500 people.  Caroline will table.

       Obamacare is fraying.  It's a reasonable time to talk about 
single payer.

       Even if we get it passed by the legislature and signed by a 
governor ... .

Someone needs to contact Santa Clara U. and SJSU.  Contact Jim Doyle to 
see if he has information, then make appropriate contacts.  Tian can't 
do it by himself.  Warner might be available, but can't organize it.
