    Hi, All:  <br>
    <br>
    <br>
          What specifically is the status of instant-runoff voting in
    San Jose?  It seems that now would be a great time to push that.  <br>
    <br>

    Well,
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>It would be nice to come out with our own "State of the City"
      address, maybe the day before the mayor's:</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>List the Occupy issues and how they apply locally. Dig through
      City Council minutes to show what if anything they have done in
      2011 to address these issues. Mention the "innovative" ways the
      City treats concerned citizens/protesters and the damage (time,
      energy, money, lost income, reputation etc.) they've caused with
      their misguided eviction policy, citations and arrests. Compare
      current City Council priorities with what would be ours. That kind
      of thing.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>This might be a little project we could run over a few weeks
      leading up to February 9. Maybe involve a broader public (via
      blog, social media etc.), too. Like that original "We are the 99
      percent" Tumblr, a "What's the state of (y)our city?" to capture
      some of the voices that likely won't be represented at the Feb 9
      event.</div>
    <div><br>

    <div>Mayor Reed's past SOTC speeches are here (with video): <a
