<DIV>Greetings and thanks for an opportunity to post.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm interested in supporting GP efforts, but after a cursory
review of the SCCGP activities and discussions am left wondering what
distinguishes your group from myriad others lending voice
to initiatives coming from the left-of-center Dems? While sympathetic
to many of those positions (and appreciative of their
obvious affinity for Greens), I am
frankly concerned that such close alignments undercut
the opportunity for a Green Party agenda to lead this country out
of its two-party stalemate. Environmental issues are not even mentioned in your
discussions. The science is now sufficiently clear to suggest that
such issues, natural to the Greens and cutting across so
many of the old political divides, will soon come to dominant our
political process. Can anyone tell me specifically how SCCGP is addressing
such issues? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for any/all responses in advance.</DIV>
