[GPSCC-chat] Electoral reform in the US

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


WIKIPEDIA


       1.  Might you have time to review and comment on the Wikipedia 
article on "Electoral reform in the United States"?  Your comments could 
help improve that article.  (I wrote much of the current text.)


             1.1.  I've asked for time on the agenda for the Green party 
meeting this Thursday for a resolution supporting a list of reforms 
mentioned there and for collaborating with other organizations in 
promoting these reforms.


             1.2.  I've just completed a substantial revision of that 
article, and I'd be pleased to have any suggestions you may have for how 
to improve that Wikipedia article.


CITIZEN-FUNDED NEWS


       2.  The single most important reform I think we need is 
citizen-funded news.  The lack of adequate investigative journalism in 
the US today seems to me to be a primary obstacle to reasonable progress 
against all the other major problems facing the US and the world today.  
Unfortunately, no organization I know is working on this.


             2.1.  I hope the Santa Clara Greens will pass the proposed 
resolution on this and other reforms at our meeting this Thursday.


             2.2.  I also hope I can get suggestions and perhaps other 
help from you all on how to promote this and other electoral reforms 
with other groups and individuals.


       I hope to see you Thursday.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer
