That won't be necessary but I would like to notify Democrats Against Agenda 21, ironically they are also located in Santa Rosa, and I'm sure they would add some fireworks to the Green cell meeting.

Unfortunately the link that Mark provided doesn't take me to any such event on November 10th, Mark could you kindly link us to your source?
