<br> Most of the comments on the article are depressing. Somebody needs to refute the "Greens are spoilers" statement in the comments.<br><br> B <br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 09:25:40 -0800<br>From: wrolley@charter.net<br>To: sosfbay-discuss@cagreens.org<br>Subject: [Sosfbay-discuss] Laura Wells in Sac Bee - From my blog.<br><br>
<h3 class="ecxpost-title"> Laura Wells and Main Stream Media. </h3>
For
far too long, I have heard Greens talk about being given short shrift
by main stream media. It has become such a truism that most Greens
don't even try. <br>
<br>
Let me show you something what can be done if you try. <a href="http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/capitolalertlatest/2010/01/are-frustrated.html">Laura
Wells in the Sacramento Bee</a>.
It can be done. All you have to do is become the story. In Laura's
case, part of that story is having been the top vote getter for any
Green in a CA partisan race. That was as a candidate for Controller in
2002 when she out polled the top of the Green ticket, Peter Camejo.<br>
<br>
There is no secret to this. Mainstream Media is always looking for a
story. So, give them one. If you like this about Laura, then go visit
her <a href="http://www.laurawells.org/">web site</a>, become a fan of
Laura on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Aimee_allison#/pages/Laura-Wells-for-Governor-of-California/232783500399?ref=ts">facebook</a>,
follow her on <a href="http://twitter.com/Wells4Gov">twitter</a>. <br>

More importantly, take some time to <a href="http://cagreening.blogspot.com/2009/12/feelin-spirit.html">Feel
the spirit</a>.
Bill Moyers had it right. We don't have the money to compete with a
Meg Whitman or a Steve Poizner or a Jerry Brown with maybe $7 Mil in
the bank. But now one works their ass off like a Green. We have to,
but that is what is going to win elections and, who know, maybe make a
heroine out of Laura.
