  Oh I am by no means an expert, nor have I contended to be on Calif.
non-profit law.  However I do have some limited experience in
Calif. Corp. law.  So you slur, although not unexpected, Chris
is interesting to say the least.  If you prefer the high cost of
Calif. business activities, than by all means advocate Calif.
code or jurisdiction for this organizations incorporation.

  Oh, and by the way, thank you for the endorsement for the 2004
national election as a potential presidential candidate.  But frankly
I am not really qualified.  Perhaps you should consider such a run.
And you could run as an independent too boot!  That way there
would be no party affiliation!  I luv independent candidates BTW!
I voted in the 2000 election for Ralph Nader, one of Jamie's
compatriots!  Isn't Jamie a Panel member too?  >;)
