The Cause: 100% of the profits are donated to Protect Our Communities Fund. The Mission of the POC Fund is to stop the Powerlink and at the same time help San Diego County achieve its long-term goal of local power generation and distribution of renewable and clean energy.

We are fighting the proposed SDG&E 150 mile long, devastating transmission line that would cut through Anza Borrego Desert State Park. You can help – join us at Ranchita Rocks, have fun and be heard.

Ranchita Rocks concert is the ONLY fundraiser planned for Protect our Communities Fund (POC) to generate the necessary money to continue the battle. POC has been instrumental in getting the Public Utilities Commissioners to listen and understand the complexity and enormity of this issue. POC's money has bought studies, expert witnesses and legal counsel – all this does not come cheap.

But the fight is not yet over. We need to replenish our war chest. The success of Ranchita Rocks is critical to our continued presence in the face of massive opposition from SDG&E and Sempra. They have unlimited funding – we don’t.

YOU CAN HELP OUR CAUSE by getting the word out about Ranchita Rocks. Spread the word, email your friends, and post bulletins on myspace. If you have a website, put a link on your site to ours. Then let us know you've done so by emailing allirocks@live.com, and we'll put your link on our site! If you live in Southern California, you can hand out flyers and put up posters in your neighborhood - if you're interested in doing that, email Alli at allirocks@live.com. THANKS!
