Lyle, 

This is why I joined the SIerra Club.

All the work and organization you and Amber did made this so easy for the
rest of us. And, you weren't kidding, it was fun!

What was most inspiring and rewarding for me was all the people who came up
and thanked me for what I was doing. This issue is so ripe in our our
nation's consciousness. The impression I got from the day was that we could
be on the cusp of a real paradigm switch on energy. "Clean Energy" was
everywhere.  

I hope the candidates took the hint from Clinton that Clean Energy is an
issue to talk about, that it's important, and that it will garner votes. The
Sierra Club's job will be to keep it hot--every chance we get. I wear my
T-shirt now.

Thank you for showing us how it is done. I was a great experience. All the
club members who stayed home might want to think twice about staying home
next time. I hope the next time comes soon. It was a blast.

Jack Eastman
Chair, Leopold Group
