Protest SDGE Powerlink "groundbreaking" this Thursday!

Landowners and Other Interested Parties,

It's ALL HANDS ON DECK for a protest against SDGE's phony-baloney "groundbreaking" ceremony for the proposed Sunrise Powerlink on Thursday, December 9th! Despite the fact that there are currently 3 active lawsuits against the proposed Sunrise Powerlink in courts, SDGE 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 SDGE's event. So we need a LARGE CROWD, WITH SIGNS, to show the world that the proposed 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 proposed powerlink is not a done deal. PLEASE JOIN US!
