Too bad about the many probs. Thanks for your great coverage of this issue, Siel, and trust me, with persistence you WILL PREVAIL. Think of all the activists--civil rights, early environmentalists, women's rights, etc--who have persevered and we stand on their shoulders. I'll take this opportunity to mention that a colleague of mine and a good electoral reform, social justice and Green Party activist, Patrick Meighan, has joined the blogging ranks on Michael Rochmes' blog, http://greeninlosangeles.blogspot.com/ Patrick mentioned yours as a truly great single-issue blog http://greeninlosangeles.blogspot.com/2007/01/another-la-green-comes-aboard.html Patrick is also a writer on a popular sitcom, but maybe I've said too much. I don't know if he wants people to know that. (grin) cheers, Lisa http://losangelesgreens.org/ Ah, the life of a grassroots activist. Too bad about the many probs.
