<DIV>I spoke by telephone with Jerry Fang this afternoon. He explained
that this forum will be mostly about ballot measures and that candidates or
candidate representatives will NOT have speaking time. He said a table
would be provided for literatute and that the expectation is that the literature
will emphasize our presidential and vp candidates. He indicated
that tablers should show up about a half hour before the program start
time. So... It's important to make sure there is literture about
Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente to have at that event along with voter reg
cards and general GPSCC info. <A

<DIV>Below is a copy of the material I gave to Jim Doyle last night re the
September 25th program at the United Way building. Several people said
they would attend. Jim Doyle has the volunteers list. Someone
needs to take on the assignment of contacting Mr. Fang and finding
out details about tabling. . Warner</DIV>
