Dear GENI
Friend,
In the
past two months in San Diego, we've had international
visitors and global attention.
* The GENI
Initiative was personally given to Vice President
Al Gore last month and to Speaker of the House Newt
Gingrich last week during the Republish National Convention.
* The US
Ambassador to the United Nations Madeleine Albright
received GENI information at a recent Town
Hall Forum.
* Attached
is a response to our material sent to Tim Wirth, Under
Secretary of State for Global Affairs. He is advisor
to Secretary of State Christopher on all international
issues dealing with environment, population and development.
With proposals
to these and others, we are looking both for a GENI
Champion and for support for GENI projects. We intend
these examples to inspire your own initiative to meet
key VIPs when they visit your area.
Thank you
for your response to our call for selection of GENI
Champions. We have yet another opportunity for your
welcome participation. We invite you to submit referrals
of people with whom you want to share The GENI Initiative,
especially others like yourself who can make a difference
financially. We have had an effective campaign of
this nature with our Board of Directors and want to
extend this to you. We will send a letter of introduction
to GENI, followed by a phone call, using your name
as a referrer.
Recently,
we had a great opportunity to educate the public about
the benefits of electrical system integration. The
power failure last week of the Pacific Intertie, which
supplies power to 15 Western States, caused widespread
upset and demands for answers. The attached editorial
gave an excellent summary and lends more validation
to The GENI Initiative.
One important
realization is that a power loss to us in the developed
world is mostly an inconvenience. Power is normally
restored within a few hours. For the 2 billion people
in developing nations who have no electricity, life
hangs in the balance. They are eager for just a simple
light bulb.
Thank you
for your continued financial support. Your assistance
has been vital in this search for a spokesperson and
sustaining financial support.
In partnership
for the planet,
