[GPSCC-chat] North Bay Green Party Candidate Jena

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Sandy, et al.:


       If you can get her for the Global Climate Convergence, that 
sounds like it would give her a larger audience than the Santa Clara 
Greens, April 24.


       We should give her a realistic estimate of how many people she 
can expect to see at our meeting May 22.  Otherwise, we could have her 
coming here to talk with a small group of people who will vote for her 
anyway instead of possibly meeting a larger group of swing voters -- or 
people more likely to influence others.


       Spencer
