<div>We still need to have a discussion about selling the
Peacemovies.com 2011 and 2012 booklets. That could go
under tabling or fundraising. Also, Tian still has not
contacted me about putting T-shirts on my web site for
sale. It would be nice if we have a line on getting more
shirts than our current stock, just in case my direct
mail campaign goes as good as I hope and I get lots of
orders off the web site. Thanks.</div>

Lisa Altieri, co-founder 350 Silicon Valley: Our sole focus is
climate change. 70% of the US is <br>
<br>
Search for Yale Communications on Climate <br>
<br>
FIVE GROUPS: <br>
16% of the US are alarmed <br>
25-30 of the US are concerned<br>
cautious <br>
total: 70% <br>
<br>
_____________<br>
8% climate deniers <br>
<br>
All 3 groups (alarmed, concerned, cautious) don't know what to do.
Our job is to help these people understand. <br>
<br>
A carbon tax done sensibly would make most people better off, create
jobs; The people hurt would be fossil fuel interests. <br>
<br>
Politically active on the environment for over 20 years and with
350.org since it was founded in 2009. <br>
<br>
In Silicon Valley we have 4 campaigns and about to start a fifth: <br>
<br>
<br>
1. divestment (Calpers working on this). For us to stay
below 2 degrees C global warming, we need to stay below 565 gigatons
CO2; the reserves are roughly 5 times this number. At our current
rate of consumption, we will blow by that 565 in 15 years. <br>
<br>
<br>
2. Keystone XL pipeline: amount matching what humanity has
burned already. <br>
<br>
<br>
3. Cap & trade or carbon tax. <br>
<br>
<br>
4. outreach. <br>
<br>
<br>
5. local action. <br>
<br>
<br>
350 is international: They've had demonstrations in every country
except North Korea. <br>
<br>
<br>
4:30-6:30 Thursday, June 6, in Palo Alto: demonstration 350.org,
Credo, Sierra Club, ..., near intersection of Middlefield and
University. <br>

County Council Problem: We are a County Party. We have our own
bylaws that go back to 1992, concurrent with the State party.
Bylaws have been amended. Our County Councils are "normally" the
product of an election. If we have fewer than 7 candidates for
County Council (the max number), they do not appear on the County
ballot. Recently, no one collected signatures for a County Council
and therefore, the State Party is saying that we did not collect 20
signatures and therefore Santa Clara County does NOT have a valid
County Council. <br>
<br>
<br>
To fix: We need to create a single piece of paper that lists
the names of all the candidates: election code The undersigned
support and nominate the above candidates (names and addresses of
current Green party members in Santa Clara County: Sandy will
draft and send it at least to Spencer, who will put it on the web
with an announcement of an election at the June meeting and will
ensure that it gets to others who can print copies and collect
signatures so we have at least 20 required for us to have a legal
election during our June meeting. <br>
<br>
<br>
STATEWIDE MEETING IN NAPA, JUNE 22-23: <br>
<br>
<br>
Go to "<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.cagreens.org">www.cagreens.org</a>". Click "Party" (upper right) ->
"General Assembly" -> "General Assembly: June 2013" (left, half
way down) -> "Draft Agenda" and "Delegates" <br>
<br>
<br>
** Under Delegates, I read that we are allowed 1 "Automatic
seat" plus 4 "proportional seats" for 5 "total seats". <br>
<br>
<br>
We selected the following delegates: Warner, Caroline, Drew,
Gerry, and Tian; these are designated as our delegates with Dana
and Debbie as alternates. <br>
<br>
<br>
IF THIS IS INCORRECT, PLEASE LET US KNOW. <br>
<br>
<br>
** Could someone please check to see what has to happen to get
people officially registered and notify this list? If the County
Council needs to do something, please let me know what, and I'll
make it happen. <br>
<br>
<br>
Napa Women's Club: Registration fee $40 until June 19 or $45
after. <br>
<br>
<br>
This is the first plenary of the year = a "Budget Plenary":
typical: $20-100K received and spent, not counting ~$20K reserve.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Regional rep: Last June, the Coordinating Council created a
"Standard General Assembly". The SGA bylaws changes may have
eliminated the regional rep, but Warner is not sure. <br>
<br>
<br>
Warner will need a ride. Caroline will happily have someone
else drive her car. <br>
<br>
<br>
Alternate: Dana. <br>
<br>
<br>
NEED TO ASK IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO BE A DELEGATE. <br>

Caroline will call Dana and coordinate a date to make swag,
then notify Spencer, who will deliver the Green party material he
