[Strawbale]Re: Strawbale digest, Vol 1 #354 - 2 msgs

Michael,

GSBN only occasionally exchanges messages among the group. GSBN is not "a
'traditional' media/government pressure/action group" as you suggest. It
serves The Last Straw journal well as a means of communicating with people
who have organized and are involved in state and regional associations so
that we can keep in touch with them about developments in their
organizations and areas and as a source for articles and journal content,
and it also provides a group of resource people who have been involved in
the sb community as leaders, developers, researchers and information sources
as we prepare and seek articles and content for the journal. If you want to
see the results of the GSBN, subscribe to The Last Straw journal
(www.thelaststraw.org) and you will see the results of our group. The
members of the group also contribute regularly and give a great deal of
their time and expertise to those on the SB-r-us and REPP lists.

Joyce
