<span style="font-size:15px">Dear Fellow Spiritual Progressive Michel,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt">As you know, Sunday, December 14th, the Network of Spiritual Progressives hosted a meeting to re-imagine our political future. Three hundred and fifty people attended, and heard from Rabbi Lerner and distinguished guests including Marianne Williamson, George Lakoff, Reginald Lyles, and Matthew Fox, inspiring a practical vision for change. </span> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt">The success of the conference was followed by some more amazing news: Dr. Vandana Shiva, the famed environmentalist from India working for seed integrity against international corporations that are seeking control over every inch of the agricultural process, is enthusiastic about our ESRA (the Environmental and Social Responsibility Amendment to the U.S. Constitution) and has just become the international chair of the Network of Spiritual Progressives, co-chairing with national chair Rabbi Michael Lerner.</span></p>

We're revitalizing our communication - look for our newsletter and a new website soon, breathing new life into the national network of NSP and local chapters. </span><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></p>
