All,

I am available to help, as the GPCA press secretary, craft a release. Just

give me a day or 2 notice. This is an issue we can disseminate via release

to not only local, but statewide media.

Feel free to contact me anytime.

Peace,

Cres

All-

It looks like we have a week to put together a press statement for 

the event, and I can help.  One focus can be on how local action can 

make a statement against the exploitation of Native Lands for any 

industrial purpose, which is in line with the Social Justice Plank on 

Native Americans of the State Party.

I don't think it would be hard to argue that the city greens would 

agree to oppose any energy put in to the SF grid by any source that 

violates environmental justice, but I do not believe anything 

specific to the subject has passed through general membership 

consideration.  Should it be a release from the Green Party of SF or 

the Sustainability WG?

I look forward to tonight's event.

See you there,

Don

Hi Ann,

Thanks for your thoughts on this, and for an attempt at a release.

If no one responded to your thought about writing a release, it is 

because we did not think we needed to.  I have written many releases 

for the SF Green Party, and I just write it, send it to the County 

Council for approval, and then distribute it to the media.  There is 

no need for the extra step of telling people you might write a release.

I wish I could help you expand these words into a release, but I 

have to work all day and will not have time.  I also know nothing 

about the press conference today.  I don't know when it will be, or 

who may be speaking.  This is knowledge I would need anyway if I 

were to write a release.

Anyway, thanks for your efforts nevertheless.

Best,

Erika

I think I not only aimed this at the list but at most everyone else 

in the susainability group, plus Erika (the SF Greens sole 

publicist?), though I know there's at least one more gal in the 

working group, who just moved over here from the East Bay.  I really 

wanted an answer 'cause I was still plannin' to try and get myself 

down to City Hall by noon tomorrow.

Has it been postponed?  And could someone please remind me of the 

Howard Street address of the Peak Oil Education event tomorrow 

night?  7:30, right?  I was planning to try to make both events---on 

time, which, as you know, would be a small miracle, for me.

Please don't make me go racing off to City Hall if this thing has 

been postponed.  I'd expect Mary R. to get an announcement of a 

postponement before I would.

This came up because I offered to write a paragraph or so saying 

this means we won't be needing any gas turbine peaker power in 

Bayview Hunters Point or Lakeview-Oceanside-Merced, or any 

coal-fired power from the native Southwest and nobody took me up on 

it, so I hoped that meant somebody had it covered 'cause I don't 

care if I do it; I just hope it's included in the press 

conference.   Actually, I'd just as soon see somebody else do it, 

but I will if no one else steps forward.  Or maybe I already did:

This legislation means that the CIty and County of San Francisco 

won't be needing any gas turbine peaker power in Bayview Hunters 

Point or Lakeview-Oceanside-Merced, or any coal-fired power from the 

native Four Corners.

There.  Done.  Can anyone try and get that into the press release?

  R&R, for one'n all---A.
