[candidate-development] request for information about CDLC'swork

Sun Mar 16 18:14:47 EDT 2008

I simply want to notify this list that I am participating in a Green oral
history project on the weekend of Mar 30th. It will involve filming and
conversation between early participants in the movement before it even
became a party: about ten or twelve of us sharing our memories from that
time. Location is Oakland or Berkeley area. Entirely self financed by those
of us who treasure early mvt. Organized by Mike Feinstein. Includes John
Rensenbrink, Dee Berry, Ben Kelajious, Howie Hawkins, Mark Satin, Barb
Hendricks and several activists from SF Bay area. I am sending this out
because I dont want any misunderstanding about purpose of it: we will be
focusing on the early years from about 1985 to the following decade. I of
course was still enamored with Greens at that time and became active in
1986. Betts Zisk

Mike,
Thank you,
You got back just in time.  Friday morning, we were able to get the
numbers by Congressional District, that are needed for the delegate
selection plan.  One remaining problem is what to do about the fact
that a significant percentage of the write-ins (listed as "all others")
are not available with names.  The CDLC will have to make a decision
about how to handle this situation.  The information elicited Friday
Morning is generally available, and with the help of Gary, I am posting
it to the CDLC list now, in a format that resembles that in which I
received it leaving out the percentages to the third decimal place.
