<DIV>Hi There,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My suggestion is to wait on this. I am a member of MoveOn and
although they sure do get people out for these discussions most everyone is a
Democrat and I'm not so sure the local Council would be pleased to have the
Green Party handing out information about an event that is not a MoveOn
event. I know the co-chair of the local MoveOn Council and I think it is
better to contact her, get her interested in what we are presenting at our Town
Hall and ask her to contact her list of people and spread the word that
way. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, someone from our Green Party could go to this MoveOn
discussion and talk to the individual people who are there. I have
found this kind of networking to be very successful. Unfortunately, I
am involved with a San Jose Peace Center event and can't go to the MoveOn
discussion.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Merriam </DIV>

San Jose Community Forum: Make Democracy Work for the Rest of Us!
Big corporations have stood in the way of the changes we need on Wall Street reform, health care, clean energy, and more. We're meeting up to discuss how we make Washington work for the 98% of us who don't have big-time lobbyists representing us in DC. Here are the event details:
Host: Steve M. and your local MoveOn Council
Where: Cambrian Branch Library (in San Jose)
When: Tuesday, May 4, 2010, at 7:00 PM
What: MoveOn members are meeting up at a community forum in San Jose Tuesday, May 4, 2010, at 7:00 PM to talk about how our democracy is being overrun by lobbyists and big corporations—and what we can do about it.
