>>> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
>>> 
>>> *_INSTRUCTIONS FOR GPCA STATEWIDE POLL OF COUNTIES_* 
>>> 
>>> The GPCA uses a poll of all recognized County Green Parties to determine 
>>> GPCA positions on ballot measures as an alternative to making those 
>>> decisions at a state meeting. Ten measures have been put on the >>> ballot by 
>>> the State Legislature for consideration of the voters as part of the 
>>> November2, 2010 General Election. Please be sure that your county 
>>> participates by submitting votes by Saturday, August 28, 2010 
>>> 
>>> *_THE POLL:_* 
>>> 
>>> This poll contains a list of Legislative ballot measures that will be 
>>> voted on as part of the November2, 2010 General Election. Reports on 
>>> these measures written by volunteers from the Green Party grassroots who 
>>> have reviewed the measures follow below. 
>>> 
>>> These reports can be found here: 
>>> 
>>> http://www.cagreens.org/plenary/packet.html 
>>> 
>>> 
>>> Of course, counties are free to agree or disagree with the recommended 
>>> positions. The full text of the initiatives can be located by going to 
>>> the webpage for the California Secretary of State 
>>> http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ballot-measures/qualified-ballot-measures.htm >>> 
>>> 
>>> 
>>> and following the applicable links. 
>>> 
>>> *_PROCESS:_* 
>>> 
>>> Please provide both Poll Coordinators (Richard Gomez and Tian Harter) 
>>> with vote results from your county in the following form for each ballot 
>>> measure: 
>>> 
>>> *"Yes" -for the GPCA to support the measure* 
>>> 
>>> *"No" -for the GPCA to oppose the measure* 
>>> 
>>> *"No Position" -for the GPCA to deliberately remain neutral on the 
>>> measure* 
>>> 
>>> *Votes may also be cast as "Abstain" if they do not wish to participate 
>>> in the poll. Abstentions will be counted toward quorum.* 
>>> 
>>> Vote on each ballot measure itself, not the recommendation. For example, 
>>> if the report has recommended a position of "No," and your county wishes 
>>> to agree and vote "No" on the initiative, then your county should vote 
>>> "No" on the initiative, and not "Yes" on the recommended "No" position. 
>>> 
>>> *PLEASE SUBMIT VOTES IN THE AMOUNT ALLOTED TO YOUR COUNTY FOR THE 
>>> PLENARY.* 
>>> 
>>> That list is published in the agenda packet for that state meeting to be 
>>> held SEPTEMBER 11-12, 2010. For example, if your county has 2 delegates, 
>>> you would submit 2 votes in any combination of positions. (Votes from 
>>> counties with more than one delegate vote need not be unanimous and >>> “half 
>>> votes” may be reported.) If you have any questions about the total >>> number 
>>> of votes that can be cast for any measure, contact the GPCA Coordinating 
>>> Committee member(s) who represent your region. Your county should >>> rely on 
>>> its own internal processes to arrive at its positions. The poll has an 
>>> 80% threshold and requires at least 50% or active California County >>> Green 
>>> Parties to participate. The default where the threshold or quorum is not 
>>> met is “No Position”. VOTES MUST BE REPORTED BY A COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBER. 
>>> 
>>> *_TIMELINE:_* 
>>> 
>>> The voting period begins on AUGUST 1, 2010, and ends on AUGUST 28, 2010 
>>> (11:59 PM PST). Votes received after the closing date and time will not 
>>> be counted. There will not be an extension of this voting period because 
>>> the Plenary convenes FOURTEEN days later. Submit all votes to BOTH the 
>>> Poll co-ordinators at the following email addresses: 
>>> 
>>> Richard Gomez: nate136_66 at yahoo.com <mailto:nate136_66 at yahoo.com> 
>>> 
>>> Tian Harter: tnharter at greens.org <mailto:tnharter at greens.org> 
>>> 
>>> Please submit any questions about the process of the poll to the same 
>>> email addresses. The full text of each of these measures can be found by 
>>> going to the California Secretary of State website 
>>> http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ballot-measures/qualified-ballot-measures.htm >>> 
>>> 
>>> 
>>> clicking the Ballot Measures link, then the Qualified for 2010 General 
>>> link, and then each individual ballot measure.
