Again I regret to admit I stayed up all night working on this! :-
( And I forgot to try to get hold of Aaron Peskin earlier to see if
he might be willing to co-sign with us (although I never heard any
feedback from anyone on whether they thought this was a good idea).
Barring strong sentiments to the contrary, I may still ask if he's
interested, if I can reach him. If anyone has time this morning to try
and track down a current phone number for him, that would be much
appreciated!
With the help again of input from Aubrey, for which I'm again
grateful, I did finish a 250-word rebuttal however, and I think it's a
good one! The plain text is below, or see the attachment for the
formatted version. Please take a look at it and let me know if you see
any problems or errors, and (officers) please let me know that you
approve having the LPSF listed as a signer. Assuming the signers are
the same as for the opponent argument we filed on Friday, I will again
need Aubrey and Marcy or one of the other officers to meet me at City
Hall to help fill out the paperwork.
Thanks, Aubrey! But please don't call me until 11am -- I plan to
throw on my clothes and head out the door. I know it sounds weird, but
I try to sleep in hour-and-a-half increments; I've heard the body's
sleep cycle works better this way. But if you get hold of Aaron Peskin
and he's interested in co-signing, feel free to call and wake me
earlier!
Thanks, Mike! And thank *you* for throwing an awesome birthday party!
I had fun catching up with Derek and meeting various other folks (saw
Marc Joffe and Francoise briefly), and did get a ride home from your
leftie sister Kathleen. She, Robbie and your mom were all friendly,
and she and I managed to largely avoid getting into a political
argument. The chocolate bars were amusing, btw -- I love your
hippie photo!
By the way, I got a separate email from you labeled "Food/Farming
articles" with 12 mime attachments. Just want to confirm it's a legit
message before opening them, as I don't immediately recall the
conversation that presumably led you to send me the materials. From
the title I'm guessing they're about Monsanto, factory farming, etc.?
Glad you had a good time at the party and with my family...so sorry I was late getting there for Michael and Janice, Francoise who had to leave early.
Yes...the articles were from me in response to your request for information regarding farming, Monsanto etc... I've been following the subject for a while. Feel free to open.
