Election Night Party... and last actions....

Hey Green Guerrilla Network --

Let's start with the celebration!     Election Night party at El Rio.... big screen, DJs, crazy crowd... come join the celebration of everyone's amazing work on all types of issues! 

One Last Kick-Ass Action Planned!  We're teaming up with Greenpeace & Global Exchange for one last kick ass chance to get good media attention for Prop H!   I can't share the details over this listserve, but you can play a huge role in making it a success.  If you're interested, give me a call 510-717-6599.   This may very well be our very last Green Guerrilla action. ever.  So we'd love to do it up with our core supporters... i.e. YOU!

There is so much that can still be done for Prop H over the next two weeks.  Below is a great list of opportunities from the official Prop H listserve.  Find out what time on your calendar you can contribute, and there will be something to do.  And give us a call to let us know you're interested in, so we can hook you up with other Green Guerrilla networkers.   

peace n action,
aliza

Obama says Yes on H!

We were just walking by the Ferry Building, and there he was. Obama. Sporting a Yes on H sticker, no less.   He's much taller and thinner than expected.

Respond to SF Chron This Morning

Hey Green Guerrillas!

This mornings Chronicle says economic crisis might delay action on climate change.   This is a great chance to respond with info about how Prop H and moving to renewable energy economy will save us money.  Anyone up for sending in a Letter to the Editor?  There is a 25% chance of any LTE getting published -- so if 4 of us send one in, we're very likely to get covered.  Below is my letter --- and feel free to use it as your own.  It's OK to duplicate talking points, it just has to get in front of them.

Dear Editor -

"If you think mitigated climate change is expensive, try unmitigated climate change."  Since spoken on the steps of Congress by Dr. Gammon in 1999, this truth has become undeniably apparent with Katrina, Ivan etc. smacking us in the face.  San Francisco has a monumental opportunity to make the change to renewable energy infrastructure -- which guarantees savings in the long term by getting us off of skyrocketing costs of gas and builds a model policy that dramatically reduces emissions.  Prop H, San Francisco's Clean Energy Act, is our once in a lifetime opportunity to make this switch to affordable and safe energy. Don't let it pass us by.  Vote Yes on H.
