I'm a professional writer; I've produced programs for KPFK, the Pacifica affiliate in Los Angeles; I can write simultaneously informing and amusing press releases; and I've edited speeches by President Bush to make them much funnier than they were before.

I hope to effectively represent the best interests of Green Party members in the state of California to the national convention, should I be called upon to do so. I intend to do this through a combination
of polling my fellow California Greens, reading about their concerns via the Internet and Green publications, and applying the Ten Key Values to problems unique to our state.
