JR,
Regarding my political comment in the SFBA eNews -
You are right, and thanks for stirring the waters. I
was over the top including that political editorial in
the SFBA eNews. The last thing we need to do is to
cause divisions. I will make sure to get that right in
the future.

Good wind,
~George Haye

-ORIGINAL MESSAGE-

I would like to stir up the waters slightly by making
another small
suggestion about the content of our promotional
material.

> SAN FRANCISCO BOARDSAILING ASSOCIATION
<http://www.sfba.org/>
> SFBAeNews by George Haye <geohaye@yahoo.com-DeleteThis>
>
> [...snip...]

> 3. GOOD ELECTION NEWS - THE VOTES ARE COUNTED HERE!
> Many folks concerned about the environment, clean
water, clean air,

U.S. Supreme

the votes for

Although few of them are within the San Francisco city
limits, there
are quite a few people out there who believe
otherwise, feeling that
the counting of questionable votes is inappropriate.*
Although we may
disagree with them on this issue, we could really use
their support!
They have money, they have influence, and they have
good reasons
(traffic, taxes, noise, etc.) to support our cause. I
would suggest
that we should be careful not to alienate this segment
of the community
by appearing as just another partisan political group.
 Our concerns
include everyone, even `them.'

>> Now, go out and shred!

On that we can all agree!

* Before everyone begins flaming me on election
issues, please note that
  I do not necessarily agree with the Supreme Court's
decision, nor with
  the deliberately biased plans suggested by both
campaigns. I had
  hoped for a more fair and less partisan solution,
regardless of the
  outcome. Locally, we still have time to build a
nonpartisan coalition
  over this issue -- can we do better than they have
done?
