[GPSCC-chat] PROPOSED AGENDA GPSCC MEETING THURS JUNE 27

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Sandy et al.:


       1.  There needs to be an election for the County Council, 
announced in an email May 24 and on our web site since then. (This 
should take only about 5 minutes unless someone wishes to volunteer to 
join our county council or dispute some of our current members.


*** WE NEED AT LEAST 20 SIGNATURES ON NOMINATING PETITIONS OF PEOPLE 
REGISTERED GREEN IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY.  IF YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO 
ATTEND, COULD YOU PLEASE PRINT THE PETITION I EMAILED JUNE 4, SIGN IT, 
AND GET IT BACK TO ME (EITHER A SCANNED IMAGE OR BY USPS)?  IF YOU CAN'T 
PRINT OR CAN'T FIND THAT PETITION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  If we have 20 
valid signatures, we can have the election.  Otherwise, we need a plan 
to get the remaining signatures we need.  In either case, we could 
probably dispense with this item in 5 minutes.


       2.  Could we discuss and vote on a resolution something like the 
following:


             * The Green Party of Santa Clara County supports the 
following initiatives for electoral reform:  Overturning Citizens 
United, citizen-funded election and news, the US and California Disclose 
Acts, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (that requires 
participating states to commit all their electoral votes to the 
candidate who wins the popular vote), and Instant-runoff voting (as 
outlined in the Wikipedia article on "Electoral reform in the United 
States").  The Green Party of Santa Clara County will collaborate with 
all other organizations working to pass these issues including getting 
supporting resolutions passed at local and state levels as appropriate.  
This includes in particular Move to Amend and Rootstrikers.


*** NOTE:  These issues are discussed in the Wikipedia article on 
"Electoral reform in the United States".  (I've been editing that 
article and could use input from any of you on how it could be improved.)


       Thanks,
       Spencer

want a different date or location.
