James(汪光中) spent time and did great ground work,
he and I had the meeting with president Olivia and Tony Ding(president
of IAPAC) present last night. The plan is as follows (these 2 things are
to be done simultaneously):
1) Sign Petition: CONCERNED CALIFORNIANS - the
petition "California State Assembly: Vote NO to SCA 5!" on Change.org. (
it needs 100,000 signatures by March 18. As of now, it has 74,346
signatures vs. yesterday's 67,890, it sore pretty fast. We should make
the goal).
