Re: Proposed Agenda for 11/12 Mtg

[kellen carey <kcarey636@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good agenda, Joe.

 

1) I agree an overview is needed, despite Evan's rather crusty opposition.  New people won't get it unless they understand the basics.  Even savvy people who more or less do get it miss key points, dates, etc.  It's a complex issue.

 

2) I have spoken to Linda regarding a meeting; she's amenable.  I will see her and/or Tom H. tomorrow to nail down a time this week.  I would like to submit in advance to her some questions so she can be prepared for them.  Please send me one two significant questions.   

 

3) I think we need more in the "action/what to do" "Next Steps" category. 
    

a) Editorial board meeting status?

 

b) I submitted an 800 word editorial piece to several of you but never recieved any feedback (don't worry, I'm not sensitive); should we submit that (with or without additional editing) to the Camera for this Sunday or next?  If they aren't interested then let's go immediately to the Daily, Times-Call, the Post, etc.

 

c) Coordinated letter writing campaign, meaning 5 or so letters each week for the next several weeks to each media outlet: Camera, Daily, Post, etc.

 

d) Get volunteers to contact the numerous local chapters of organizations who might support us: Sierra Club, NARAL, NOW, various CU clubs and organizations, Green Party, Dean for Prez, Kucinich for Pres, Republican Party, Libertarians, etc. and try to have their formal endorsements by, say, November 27th (about 2 weeks from tomorrow). Maybe get other groups like League of Women Voters, Common Cause, etc. to reconsider their rather surprising nonopposition to electronic voting.

 

e) Meeting with County Clerk (mentioned above). 

 

f) ????????????
