[statecom-discuss] date of next State Comm meeting????

[Emily Lewis]

Hi All - I am saying that with the rather, what seems, paltry response  
to
a large endeavor such as getting the G-R message to the
public about the presidential candidates, planning for statecom and  
supporting the candidates is a tall order. Again, I ask that as many of  
you who can come, do come to the CDLC meeting tomorrow eve. We might  
end up with a whole new idea, but we need more than just a few people  
on this committee to make the decision.

I think that with Massachusetts, there is opportunity for the getting  
the Green idea out because it's a "safe" state - it's our message in  
the presidential campaign that counts above any reason to be part of it  
and work our bupkas (euphemism) off. This is something that after this  
campaign we might consider a really long range plan for the next in  
four years, and not just a few weeks.
I am not criticizing; I haven't helped. But is it too late?
Emily
