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) ????????????

(anything I overlooked?), please:
Proposed
Agenda
Introductions
- there was a comment that introductions
should be required so that
people working together via e-mail can learn
who the other folks are in
their group. Nothing more than a name and
affiliation if any? Hopefully
with the added promo, we'll have many more
folks present, may be
difficult if too many.

Situation for New Attendees
- The mess we're in and how we got here in 60

[discussion / q & a for new

Does anyone have a superior resource sheet they could
send me (or
should I use the one on the website or are there other
recommendations
that are practical by tomorrow afternoon)? I can get the
copies
donated.
Thanks!
Joe
