Saturday April 11, 4pm 2467 28 Ave. @ Taraval (off the L Muni line) Times are tough, and the SF Green Party is feeling the pinch as we are struggling to pay rent on our office. So as we work on finding new ways to bring in some extra money, help us out with some temporary support by coming to Barry Hermanson's "Rent Party" and enjoy some of Barry's famous homebrewed beer. Barry has brewed up some IPA and an ESB (English Style Bitter - that actually tastes like a brown ale) just for this occasion, so come on by and party with the Greens, and if you can donate any amount, large or small, we will come a little closer to making ends meet and holding on to the valuable resource that the office provides. Bring grillable items to share if you can! * Green Party General Membership Meeting: Wednesday, April 22, 7-9pm 1028-A Howard Street (between 6th and 7th streets) http://www.sfgreenparty.org/ _______________________ NEWS America Needs A Green Economic Recovery Plan, Not Obama's Wall Street Rescue Operation http://www.gp.org/press/pr-national.php?ID=195 Don't Go There Mr. President! http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090413/hayden?rel=emailNation Senate Passes Green Energy Bill http://capitolweekly.net/article.php?1&_c=xvmif8yjjntb1v&issueId=xv12cqmbjch...
