Fwd: Your Election Reform Meetup is cancelled

["joe pezzillo" <jpezzillo@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is the flipside problem with the Meetup system. There were only two of us (me and Al) signed up, so they cancelled it for everyone.

And, since there were only two of us signed up, we clearly could set the agenda however we want.

So, despite the group's opposition to using Meetup as our core scheduling system (which is fine with me), can I please ask two or three other folks on the list to sign up (for free) as participants, so that we can use Meetup as a way to announce *our* next meeting to those who might be casually interested. For reference, between the current democratic presidential candidates, there are several hundred people here in Boulder County signed up to attend regular political meetings via Meetup. There were probably at least 100 people at the Dean Meetup tonight where I presented CVV to what seemed like a very interested audience.

Thanks for your help in trying to recruit more people to our cause.

Joe
