Happy Holidays from the Sierra Club's San
Diego Smart Energy Solutions Campaign to protect Anza-Borrego
Desert State Park, the Cleveland National Forest and local
communities from the harmful and unnecessary Sunrise
Powerlink!
We thought a great way to wrap up the year would be
to look back at some of our 2007
campaign milestones:
- FEBRUARY: More than 500 people showed up in
Borrego Springs at the California State Park and Recreation
Commission Hearing to say no to Sunrise
Powerlink.
- MARCH: The campaign sadly bid goodbye to a
tireless activist who devoted countless hours to saving our park
and communities - thank you Kelly Fuller!
- MAY: Activists spoke out against National
Interest Electric Transmission Corridors at a hearing in
San Diego.
- JUNE: New organizer, Micah Mitrosky, came
on board.
- JULY: We rallied outside of the County
Administration Building.
- SEPTEMBER: Ranchita Rocked to stop Sunrise
Powerlink and raise campaign awareness.
- OCTOBER: With the support of public
officials from all levels of government, we released our
exciting alternative to Sunrise Powerlink, San Diego Smart
Energy 2020, making a local media splash. We launched
our campaign web site, www.sdsmartenergy.org, asking
Governor Schwarzenegger for help and brought our first
delegation of Community Leaders to Sacramento. We also reached
out to friends and community partners during the tragic fires of
this year.
- NOVEMBER: We led a second delegation to
meet with key lawmakers in Sacramento.
- DECEMBER: Our campaign received a media
boost from an Op-Ed piece in the San Diego
Union-Tribune by Assembly Member Lori Saldaña and
San Diego City Council Member Donna Frye. Click here to read
their letter. Activists thanked these visionary leaders by
writing letters to the Editor. Click here
to read one letter that was published, submitted by Ms. Irene
Dunny of San Diego.
Whew - it has been a busy year. Thank you for all of
your help, volunteer efforts and support! YOU are the most
important part of this campaign.
There is still much work to be done and we need your
help to do it! The next big campaign milestone will be the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) public hearings
on February 25th in Pine Valley at 6:30
and February 26th at 7:00 p.m. in
Ramona. This will be our BIGGEST
opportunity to send a message to the CPUC, public officials and
SDG&E that Sunrise is the wrong choice for San
Diego. We have smarter energy alternatives to choose
from. Can you attend one of these critical hearings? If
so, please send an email RSVP to mmitrosky@sierraclubsandiego.org
today! Further details about the hearings will be announced in
January.
Stay tuned for information on grassroots volunteer
activities, organizing meetings, web site updates and the
exact location of the public hearings in early 2008.
Have a great Holiday season. Thanks for all of your
dedication and help. The success of this critical campaign
depends on you.
Best,
Micah
