POSSIBLE TASKS: Recruit, train, and run strong candidates; organize precincts;
raise funds for campaigns; work on electoral reform; continue producing the
Voter Guide; consider "endorse" rather than "recommend - see
write up," assure that the Green Party stays on the CA ballot line (it's
OK for now); continue fielding a surplus of GPAC County Council candidates so
they appear on the June Primary ballot.

to electoral work
