[GPSCC-chat] First Draft -- Agenda for Thursday August 25th GPSCC Monthly...

John:  At last month's meeting, the consensus (from my  viewpoint) was that 
the topics of "Iran" or "Syria" are topics too large and to  vague for 
there to me any comment(s) other than the situation in each country is  
"terrible" (paraphrase).  Your request that these topics be on each monthly  GPSCC 
agenda do not contain any scope of discussion, any specific proposal, or  any 
explanation about what could be done locally.  IMO, as someone who has  
been compiling GPSCC agendas for years, it is unfair and unreasonable to be  
proposing agenda items without these details.  Similarly, it seems strange  to 
me to be proposing spending money for ads on MTA buses in San Francisco 
when  there is a GPSF.  The place to take that kind of proposal, IMO, is to 
that  County GP (or, in this case, to the New York City GP).
If you want the GPSCC to recommend that the GPCA requwest its  GPUS 
Delegation to sponsor a GPUS anti-war resolution, then say so...   But a more 
effective way to get that would be to contact the California GPUS  Delegates 
directly.  You can get that information from cagreeens.org and  follow the Party 
and Committee links.  Warner

Additional items for the agenda:
 
1) We need to be sure to have our monthly discussion re: Iran and  Syria.  
 
2) Also, we may need to revisit the decision about ordering 20  shirts, as 
the actual cost is more than originally estimated. I still  have not heard 
from Caroline about what method she was using to screen  print our previous 
batch of shirts, which could cut our estimated cost  in half. 
 
3) Also, we should make a motion to formally endorse the position  that the 
US and NATO should not intervene in Syria or Iran and pass this  resolution 
on to other Green Party groups, especially the German Greens,  who were in 
favor of the NATO intervention in Kosovo in the  1990's.  
 
4) We could also consider donating some money to an as yet  undetermined 
group that would run SF Muni Ads in opposition to the  Zionist hate speech 
against Palestinians that the MTA refuses to prevent  from running because of a 
lawsuit in New York that ruled that the  Zionist group has the right to run 
their ads on free speech  grounds.
