Week 11: Post 1: A Newsletter for a business

   Developing and maintaining a regular presence with supporters of California Liberation is an important part of the strategy of the organization. Collecting the most recent news and packaging it in a weekly newsletter is a good way to keep in touch with people who do not see the regular Facebook posts, Wordpress posts, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, etc.

   The most valuable content for a CALM-PAC newsletter is undoubtedly news updates. This week, for example, has been the most important week in the history of the California Liberation movement, especially with the announcement on Monday that the state of California has formed an agreement with the states of Oregon and Washington to set policies jointly as to when and how the respective states will "re-open" and end social distancing policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. That announcement has caused many commentators to ask whether the new Pacific "pact" and a similar agreement between seven states in the Northeastern United States, could lead to the breakup of the United States. Today, this question was even asked by the Reuters agency in Europe.

   As the business of the California Liberation Movement PAC is disseminating news, publishing a weekly newsletter about current events in politics is just another way to achieve that mission. Indeed, if I was not occupied by college coursework, I would have been writing and publishing all week, definitely. Although I would not call the "Independent California Institute" a "competitor, they publish a weekly newsletter with original content and links to recent articles by other publications. The odd thing about "ICI" is that it seems to be a one-person "organization" who does not like to interact with other California independence activists; none of my many colleagues knows who this person is. I may just have to visit the office listed on the ICI newsletter, as it is in Carlsbad, of all the cities and towns in California.
