involving other orgs

A month ago Mark Sweitzer sent this to the list. First, it belongs in our
web archive, so I am reposting it. Secondly, now that we've made our first
big public presentation, and have had some luck with the press, it needs
follow-up.

Time to beat the bushes (not that Bush)

I think this approach can lead to success when it's organized by a coalition
of prominent organizations. If the BCCVV can draft a resolution in similar
format to this, and then get it approved and endorsed by many other
organizations, political parties, and government bodies, then it carries
much more clout then just originating from a "focus group" like ours.

A few suggested organizations:
-Boulder City Council
-Boulder County Democratic Party
-Green Party of Colorado
-Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center
-Colorado Communities for Justice and Peace
-Colorado Progressive Coalition
-key State House reps
-U.S. Reps. Udall and DeGette
-The Daily Camera; Colorado Daily
-etc. etc.
