[9:15pm] yari: Pmchi: The letter from the Green Party of Alaska was returned due to a lack of a claimant, which means I have no way to get in contact with the Green Party of Alaska. Physically, that is. I’d still like a firm no, so I will try again in March after some time.

[9:16pm] yari: Yesterday, I had a meeting with Common Ground USA, a Georgist organization. The meeting concluded with them asking “Hey Mitch, can you write an article about the Pirate Party for our website? We need to post anything to update the site, so anything you write will be good.”  This is a great opportunity to write a fluff piece, talking about the Pirate Party and Pirate Politics in general, and getting eyes on us from a group of folks who are interested in w
[9:16pm] yari: what we are and do. I’ll be writing a piece for us later this week, and if there’s anything in particular you’d like me to mention, please reach out or whip up a section and I’ll comply!  That is all from Swarmcare
