I'll give you some GPUS stuff to add to your set. This is a good idea. However, it is not intuitively obvious to anyone about how you might accomplish this. Bert Heuer and I have been exchanging comments about how to re-organize, refresh the current site. Bert has made a good start, but there is much more to be done and the question of tabling materials is right in the middle of that. There are three different sources for acquiring tabling materials on the GPCA site: - the Clearinghouse (http://www.cagreens.org/clearinghouse/) provides some printed material at prices below cost. This includes bundles of copies of Green Focus. - Grassroots Organizing Working Group (GROW) has a section of their web site with a number of documents that can be downloaded electronically. They vary in quality. Some of them are bi-lingual English / Espa?ol http://www.cagreens.org/grow/flyers.html - the platform appears to be available only in a 2002 version as a pdf file or from the Clearinghouse. The Web Version is essentially up to date, having been worked on after the September Plenary. Some of the platform (e.g. immigration plank) is available in a Spanish Language document which I can provide. That document was circulated on the platform committee email list. I have updated the GROW pages to make it available as a pdf file. http://www.cagreens.org/grow/flyers/Verdes_en_Imgracion.pdf -- I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.

MoveOn's empty gestures against Fox News, even though their complaints are usually legitimate, accomplish nothing, and they obfuscate the fact that a lot of the 'liberal' media act just as much like corporate pro-military mouthpieces as the Murdoch gang. In fact, Fox sometimes covers news in a fairer & more detailed way than the liberal news outlets. Fox's coverage of our 2004 convention in Milwaukee was the best of all the major media, and the Fox reporters we spoke to asked interesting questions that showed they had done their homework. On the other hand, The Washington Post reported on the Milwaukee convention as if it had been a fashion show (featuring Birkenstocks & all the other usual Green stereotypes). But Sam's best point, for the Green Party, is that our goal is to build popular support and persuade folks to our point of view, not draw lines in the sand. -- Scott UNDERNEWS FROM THE PROGRESSIVE REVIEW MAR 8 2007 Edited by Sam Smith LATEST HEADLINES & INDEX: http://prorev.com EDWARDS CHICKENS OUT ON FOX CBS - Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards won't participate in a debate co-hosted by Fox News and the Nevada Democratic Party, his campaign said, as party officials tried to settle a dustup over their partnership with the cable network. Edwards' campaign said the involvement of Fox News, which is often accused by liberals of having a conservative bias, was part of the decision to pass on the Aug. 14 debate in Reno. . . The two Democratic presidential frontrunners, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama, have not indicated whether they will attend the Nevada debate. . . Move On Civic Action says it has collected more than 260,000 signatures on a petition that calls the cable network a "mouthpiece for the Republican Party, not a legitimate news channel.". . . Democratic Party officials and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid initially touted the partnership with Fox News as an opportunity to reach out to a different bloc of voters. But in a letter posted Wednesday on the party's Web site, Democratic Party Chairman Tom Collins said Reid now shares activists' concerns and "has asked us to take another look." Collins said the party would invite a "local progressive voice" to participate on the debate panel, which also would include a reporter from a local Fox affiliate, a national Fox News reporter and the moderator. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/03/08/politics/main2546570.shtml SAM SMITH - The Edwards reaction, apparently motivated in part by the self-righteous lot at Move On, demonstrates one of the reasons the Democrats don't do better. You can't win a fight if you refuse to get in the ring. As one of the few who has appeared on Pacifica, NPR. . . and the Bill O'Reilly Show, your editor learned that long ago. Admittedly, you've got to know your moves, among which I would include these: - Keep smiling. The rightwing hosts want to get you mad. Just don't. It throws them off their pace. - Find something they can agree on or something you have in common. Before my appearance on the O'Reilly Factor, I mentioned to the host that my granddaughter was growing up about 20 miles from his hometown on Long Island. He immediately become friendlier. In the 1990s, I was worried about a book related appearance on a Idaho radio station in the heart of Mark Fuhrman country. Then in his introduction, the host mentioned that I was a supporter of jury nullification, an issue that has fans on both the left and the right. When I heard that, I knew I was home free. Just one sentence in the book had saved me from being stereotyped. The interview, originally scheduled for 20 minutes, went on for an hour. - Help people move from their pet issues to others they haven't thought much about. I once did a talk show in Michigan militia territory. I used some lines about gays not being the ones who take your pensions and feminists not shortchanging your healthcare. Some guy calls in and says, "You know this fellow from Washington has a point. We have to stop worrying so much about those gays and women and worry more about the corporations." It taught me not to give up on people Part of the problem is that many on the left and the right approach the other side as solders against an enemy or lawyers in a trial rather than as teachers or organizers. Its not a good approach because if you can't change the hearts and minds of some of those watching on Fox, you're probably going to lose the race. Put a smile on your face, some facts in your mouth and give it a try.

(Time Sensitive Announcement-Please forward widely as appropriate) *HOW TO APPLY FOR A Green National Committee (GNC) DELEGATE OR ALTERNATE SEAT:* The Green Party of California is always looking for interested California Greens to serve at the national level of the state party. The only strict requirement is that you be a registered Green in California. The next couple of years should be a very exciting time in the Green Party at the national level. The major decisions of the National Committee will primarily be focused on rules and policies leading to the 2008 Convention, so it will be a very interesting time, and a good reason for YOUR input!! We prefer those who have served in some capacity at the state and/or county party level and will ask for a referral from a state or county representative, if we're not familiar with your green party activity. We strongly encourage those who self-identify as a minority, whether by region, gender, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, or disability. California has 13 Delegate seats and 13 Alternate seats at present. There are seven seats open for Delegate, out of thirteen, and 9 seats open for alternates. As delegates are usually elected with staggered terms throughout the year, this number is larger than usual because of the length of time since the last plenary. Note that some delegates and alternates currently holding those seats will also be running for reelection. If some form of Delegate Apportionment passes at the national level, CA will more than triple its delegation. There will be elections by the General Assembly at the GPCA Plenary in San Francisco May 26-27 for these seats, by IRV. We need your two-paragraph bios/applications by MARCH 26 for inclusion in the plenary packets. Get your applications in NOW so you can included in the election.

You may also submit an optional campaign statement.

If you have even thought about the idea, but did not think you had the time, please let us know. If we end up needing a delegation 40 strong, we will need many of you and will work with you to come up to speed and to figure out how to fit us into your life. Applications should also be sent to the GPUS Delegation ASAP if the applicant wishes to receive an endorsement from the Delegation, so that we can get those endoresements into the plenary packet as well.

Drew Northern Irish Greens decline Bush invite for St. Patrick's Day (fwd) Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2007 06:14:43 -0700 (PDT) PRESS RELEASE: GREENS DECLINE ST PATRICKS DAY INVITATION TO THE WHITEHOUSE, CITING WAR IN IRAQ AND CLIMATE CHANGE THURSDAY 15 MARCH The Green Party has declined an invitation to join President Bush's Whitehouse celebrations on St Patrick's Day. The Party is citing its opposition to the war in Iraq and the need for political leadership in the battle to protect the climate and reduce greenhouse gas emissions as their reason for the decision. In a brief statement on behalf of the Party Executive, Dr John Barry & Dr Peter Doran said: "Green Partiy colleagues in the US and across the world have been consistent in their opposition to President Bush's illegal war in Iraq. Moreover, if the Green Party is to be true to its commitment to combat climate change, we must walk the talk. The Party has decided that a two-way trip across the Atlantic to celebrate St Patrick's Day in the Whitehouse is not a compelling reason, morally or practically, for emitting half a tonne of CO2." Citing the lack of leadership shown by the Bush Adminstration on climate change Dr. Barry explained: "Our decision to decline this invitation should not be read as a criticism of the American people, but of the Bush Adminstration. Despite the Bush adminstration's lack of commitment to tackling climate change, there are many positive signs of grassroots leadership on the issue in the United States - in California, for example. Dozens of Mayors representing some 25 million Americans have signed up to an initiative to get American cities to meet the US's Kyoto environmental target which George Bush repudiated: cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 7% by 2010." The Green Party Executive thanked the American administration for the invitation but declined. ENDS More from: Peter F Doran Green Party Media and Communications Belfast, Northern Ireland Home Tel.

Message-ID: <402335.76704.qm@web52210.mail.yahoo.com> http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/22352 Copier + Hard Drive: A Dangerous Combination Thu Mar 15, 2007 7:04PM EDT It sounds like a slam dunk: Put a hard drive into a standard photocopier, so you can have a digital version of anything you run through the machine. That way, if the original is ever lost, you can always run back to the backup. (I hadn't realized this, but copiers have been including hard drives for five years now.) But now people are finally waking up to the wrinkle in this plan, which should have been obvious: What do people use copiers for, anyway? Yes, for company flyers and employee manuals, but also for tax returns, insurance cards, photo IDs, and Social Security paperwork. Now what happens when that copier gets old and is sold on eBay? Gulp. Computerworld has more of the story. Copiers are hardly highly-secure devices, and such data could be accessed via a network connection, too. The wake-up call is, surprisingly, being delivered by Sharp, a manufacturer of these devices. The company polled Americans and found that 54 percent of those surveyed had no idea that photocopiers stored digital versions of everything put on the glass. Count me in the majority, I guess. What to do? Naturally, Sharp is promoting its newer copiers, which encrypt digitally stored copies and "virtually shred" recent ones so they can't be recovered. If you've got such features on your office machine, make sure you use them. But also remember that next time you make copies at Kinko's or another copy shop, you could be leaving behind a copy of anything you reproduce. Behave accordingly. ___________________ JamBoi Jammy The Sacred Cow Slayer "Live humbly, laugh often and love unconditionally" (anon) http://dailyJam.blogspot.com ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?

We are planning how we will make our GPSCC a *major party* contender in Santa Clara County including the campaigns and candidates we are planning to run in 2007 and 2008. Merriam, Natasha, (Wendy?), Wes, Jim S., Cameron, Jim D., Gerry, (Tim?) have expressed interest (some of us will go to the "Si Se Puede" march first and then carpool to Morgan Hill). Everyone's invited so please speak up if you want to join in the strategizing. Here's a reiteration of Wes' more complete directions to the Morgan Hill Library: I have booked the meeting room of the Morgan Hill Public Library from 1:00 to 4:00 on that day. (This is the last day that they are booking this room as they prepare to move to a new building this summer.) There is some ability to change the hours, if required. The library is open from 10 AM to 6 M. The location is 17575 Peak Ave. Driving / bus directions are here: http://www.santaclaracountylib.org/morganhill/MHdirections.html Most common access is by car...the count of traffic lights on the library site is out of date, so... From the North Take U.S. 101 south from San Jose. Take the East Dunne Avenue exit in Morgan Hill. Turn right (west) onto Dunne. Cross Monterey Highway (4th traffic light). Turn right on Peak Avenue (first stop sign after Monterey Rd). Turn left on Main (first stop sign). Turn left again into the Library parking lot (corner of Peak & Main). Weekend bus schedule for VTA Route 68 (San Jose Diridon Station to Gilroy) is here: http://www.vta.org/schedules/SC_68.html#effective_dates Organize, Energize, Coalize!

Dr. Marshall Rosenberg is a psychologist who developed the principles of nonviolent communication (NVC) a language and consciousness of compassion that can dramatically improve relationships. Thousands of people around the globe have found new avenues to peace within their families and communities, in schools, prisons and urban gangs, and between warring factions in some of the most violent places on earth. Workshop topics will include introductions to the practical skills of nonviolent communication for the general public as well as for therapists. Also included are workshops for intimate relationships and understanding anger. Dr. Rosenberg will demonstrate how these communication skills can be used in real-life situations by interacting with the audience at each workshop. The workshops in San Francisco are expected to fill completely. Pre-registration is suggested. For complete information on all upcoming Marshall Rosenberg workshops in San Francisco and Oakland, please visit the web. This event is sponsored by Bay Area Nonviolent Communication, a nonprofit educational organization. All events are offered by BayNVC on an inclusive sliding-scale basis.
