>Hi Eric,  Â   This email prompted me to tell you what I've been 
thinking  some time, which is to thank you for keeping us current  
with San Francisco political activity.  I am so busy with  my work and 
church that I don't often have time to attend  these events, but I am 
so grateful that you, and a handful  of others, keep us posted.  We're 
going to start building an  infrastructure in the Sunset to respond to 
this kind of  activity, and we will depend on you, and others like 
you,  to warn us when we need to activate it.  Â   Rita Goldberger  Â

>Though nearly every major environmental and social justice group has 
voiced strong opposition to the building of new fossil fuel power 
plants in San Francisco, next Monday, May 5th, our Public Utilities 
Commission (SFPUC) will outrageously seek permission to build a 
polluting natural gas power plant in San Francisco within the next 
year. Worse still, if approved, this plant will be built in our most 
environmentally damaged and vulnerable neighborhood, the Bayview 
Hunters Point. Meanwhile, new reports surface nearly every week that 
the Global Warming crisis is becoming much more serious, much more 
rapidly than previously believed, and our entire planet is in danger.

>Unfortunately, Mayor Gavin Newsom and our Board of Supervisors are 
wavering, and have still not come out in majority opposition to this 
disastrous power plant! This means that the plant construction could 
be approved as early as next week.

Monday May 5, from 9-10am, to show the Mayor and Board of Supervisors 
that San Franciscans will not tolerate further inaction, and that we 
demand that this unacceptable power plant project be stopped 
immediately. We must send a message to the world that San Francisco 
has decided to lead the planet to a clean energy future by permanently 
halting all plans to build fossil fuel power plants.
