>Robin, et al,
       We could each send her an email asking her to divest from
Occidental and Vintage petroleum per the info below. Her email is  
schapmis at co.mendocino.ca.us.

Love,
Agnes

> we handed her a list of the 100 biggest petroleum companies and the 100
> biggest coal companies and asked her to divest the County's money from
> these companies. 
>
> Shari looked over the list and said
> that there is only one company on the list that the county invests in,
> Occidental Petroleum.  I mentioned to her that a subsidiary of
> Occidental Petroleum, Vintage Petroleum, owns the exploratory fracking
> leases in the Eel River Basin.  Shari raised her eyebrows and
> responded, "Oh!" with a tone of surprised interest.

> If we want to demonstrate for divestment, we should do it in front
> of the County Administration Building for our Treasurer to divest from
> Occidental Petroleum.

> In Peace, Robin
