We are about to celebrate the three month anniversary of the Gulf Oil Disaster just as BP is succeeding in tapping the well that blew in April. In keeping with like gatherings around the country this week, we are looking forward toa meeting at 12 Noon on Wed.,7/21/10, that is aligned with the organizations and networks which came together in re "Earth is For People, Not Corporations," on 7/01/10 in San Diego , at the 1st UU Church of S.D.
Whether or not Marjorie can make it, I would like to invite you tho this Potluck Luncheon from 12 Noon to 1:30, on Wednesday, 7/21/10, at the Linda Vista Community Center, 2750 Wheatstone Ave., San Diego , CA 92111 .
There, we will ask you to present a little bit about your organization's plans in the near term and what types of help you will need in order to carry them out. We would also like to know what knowledge or expertise your organizational leaders posses that could help the work of other groups.
Most of you know that we lost some recent elections that, if we progressives had been more united, clearer in our message, and better organized to effect a greater turnout, might not have happened. Here I am speaking of the loss of the Fair Elections proposition 15 at the State Level, the Strong Mayor Election at the San Diego City Level, the Chula Vista Labor Agreement Measure at the local level, and the loss by Mary Salas, in the Assembly Member Election at the State Level, to Juan Vargas by less than 50 votes.
There is a crying need for us to look at what we are doing, how we are appealing to others to join with us in doing it, and who we are allied with to increase the strength of our support when we need it. These are doable tasks and learned behaviors. Please come to take part in this unique gathering.
Yours for a positive future, John
