Subject: Sunrise Powerlink ACTION ALERT

It's ALL HANDS ON DECK for a protest against SDG&E's phony-baloney "groundbreaking" ceremony for the Sunrise Powerlink on Thursday, December 9th! Despite the fact that there are currently 3 active lawsuits against the Sunrise Powerlink in courts, SDG&E has scheduled a premature groundbreaking ceremony. The Protect Our Communities Foundation and partners are organizing a rally and protest against the project during the event. Media will be present and Governor Schwarzenegger is expected to attend SDG&E's event. So we need a LARGE CROWD, WITH SIGNS, to show the world that the powerlink is old fossil-fuel infrastructure at its worst, that the project is not acceptable to the citizens of San Diego county, and most of all that the powerlink is not a done deal. PLEASE JOIN US!

When: Thursday, December 9 at 9am
Where: Rough Acres Ranch, 2750 McCain Valley Road, Boulevard, CA 91905 
RSVP to: David Hogan, <a href="mailto:davidhogan at hughes.net" target="_blank" _blank="">davidhogan at hughes.net or 760-809-9244

Directions to Rough Acres Ranch: (approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from downtown San Diego)

1.     Take I-8 East to the Boulevard exit (the next one after Crestwood and the Golden Acorn Casino - past the large wind turbines).

2.     Turn right (south) onto Ribbonwood Road.

3.     Go to the stop sign at Old Hwy 80 and make a left (east) towards Jacumba.
