Regional call and other regional calls to plan for future
campaign schools.
3. Coordinated Congressional Campaign-Brent was frustrated that
no one from CCC called on the Congressional Campaign call. Gray
was on call (+Starlene, David, Terry Baum, MN candidate for
Cong., Mark Samson and Susan Faucett) and not much was
accomplished. Tom suggested that a Nader endorsement proposal
somewhat sidetracked the meeting. Juscha suggested finding key
points for all Congressional candidates to focus on. David and
Juscha propose moving forward with "Shadow Congress"
idea.
