Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey (D-CA, Sixth Congressional District) meets with members of Media Action Marin on October 11, 2005. Pictured from left to right: Tica Lyons, David Mathison, Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), June Swan and Media Action Marin Chair Peter Franck.
Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey supports the creation of an independent Community Media Center to administer PEG channels for Marin in this letter dated September 20, 2005 that she wrote to the Marin Telecommunications Agency (MTA).
Representative Woolsey wrote in part:
"I urge you to consider establishing a community-based non-profit organization to administer PEG (Public, Education and Government) channels, a service required by the federal government in order to provide the community with local outlets and access. Such an agency, governed by a locally elected board, would be uniquely qualified to ensure that programming addressed the many different constituencies of Marin county.
Many of these constituencies worked successfully with the MTA, Comcast, and elected officials to resolve issues concerning FM radio service, and I am confident that the same spirit of cooperation can be brought forward to develop the best system for administration of PEG channels."
THANKS Congresswoman Woolsey for your support!

I am a physician(Chief of Medical Staff) working in Butte County with the homeless and mentally ill.
I am seeking a transfer to a county position within Congresswoman Woolsey's district, because of my wishes to support her progressive thinking, and leave a rather conservative district (Butte County).
If a Marin County CALPERS supported position (or Sonoma County) will accept reciprocity with Butte County CALPERS contributions of 3.5 years is available, or known to an adinistrative member of the Congresswoman's office, please advise. Thankyou
