<DIV>Spencer et al,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I just now ordered the DVD of the movie from <A href="http://www.responsibletechnology.org/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>www.responsibletechnology.org</A> . I also ordered 25 of each of their brochures about the health risks of GMOs and one other brochure, I can't remember. We have permission to show the movie as a nonprofit for donations, with some encouragement to donate any money raised over our costs to go to the Food Policy Fund, that has a link on the above web site. Food Policy Fund is backing Prop 37. I think the 10 days from the time I get back until the movie showing is enough time to get the word out, but if I can confirm that we have the venue and consensus within the county council before this Sunday, I will have fliers available to hand out while I'm gone. My room mate Pete O'Reilly might be interested in handing them out if no one else is. (He is asleep right now so I can't confirm that) Thanks.</DIV>

<DIV>Should we move on getting this started before the next GP GA meeting? If so, I move that the county council should vote on sponsoring this event at the Peace Center. I vote in favor of this. According to the calendar, Friday Nov 2, 2012 is open. We could hand out lots of fliers before then. I will be out of town from October 15 to October 22nd, but I could start printing and handing out fliers this Sunday before I leave. I will be watching movies on Friday all day but if others could coordinate the vote and contact Shelby to confirm the Peace Center availability, I will drop by the Peace Center at about 6PM Friday October 12th to check on things and I will check my cell phone e-mail to see what the final vote is too. Thanks.</DIV>

<DIV>This video is useful to show before the election because it does a good job of clearing up the uncertainty about weather or not GMOs are really bad for us (they are really bad for us and for farm animals). In the Yes On N campaign about water fluoridation being banned in Santa Cruz, which passed and became law, a lot of the debate hinged on the dangers of fluoridation, not so much on the nuts and bolts of the initiative that simply stated that nothing could be added to the water to treat humans as opposed to treating the water. I did spring for a wi fi adapter for my laptop, but if it would be better to play the video from a hard drive I can do that instead. I called Shelby and confirmed that the Peace Center has cables to run from the laptop to the projector and the sound system. Another thing that the video points out is that there is a voluntary "GMO free" labeling initiative afoot similar to the labels on milk saying that
the milk is rBGH free. The market share of products with those labels is growing by 250% per year. As for campaigning for prop 37, handing out fliers for the movie would do some of that too. You can hand out 3 fliers per minute, as opposed to spending 5 minutes or more contacting and talking to each person that you manage to reach going door to door. We can put the url for the movie on the flier so that people who can't make the exact date and time can still watch the movie.</DIV>
