GREEN PARTY COUNTY CONTACTS MESSAGE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Volunteers Needed To Report On November 2008 Ballot  Measures

To: County Contacts, Green Party of California -- Please  Distribute Widely
to GPCA Members

From: Warner Bloomberg, Campaigns and Candidates Working Group 
Co-Coordinator

Date: July 7, 2008

Unless otherwise decided by a General Assembly of Delegates at  a state
meeting, the GPCA uses a County Polling process to determine state party
positions on ballot measures.  The CCWG has accepted the job of collecting
reports to send to the County GP’s as part of that County Polling.  Below
is the Secretary of State Summary of Ballot Propositions (go to
_www.ss.ca.gov/elections_ (http://www.ss.ca.gov/elections) ).  Greg  Jan
(_gregjan4 at yahoo.com_ (mailto:gregjan4 at yahoo.com) ) has volunteered  to
facilitate the coordination of proposition reports (because the Alameda
County Green Party has a long record of creating such reports).

If you  are interested in contributing to this effort about one or more of
the ballot  measure reports, please contact Greg as soon as possible.  This
is a time  sensitive project.  Reports need to be completed by the end of
July so County Polling can be done during August and GPCA positions can be
announced in  early September.  Reports need to be reasonably focused, but
should have a  clear explanation of the writer’s position and conclude with
a recommendation  that the GPCA either endorse, oppose or take no position
on a particular initiative or bond measure.  The writier’s name(s) and
County will be  included in the public report distributed on the
County Contacts list to start  the County Polling.  Please Note:  Because
the County Polling period  is expected to include the Plenary scheduled for
August 23-24 in Riverside  County, these same reports will be presented to
the General Assembly of  Delegates for consideration.  If you have any
questions about this message,  contact Warner Bloomberg _wsb3attyca at aol.com_
(mailto:wsb3attyca at aol.com) .
