[GPSCC-chat] Elections for County Council, Thursday, June 27

[John Thielking]

Spencer,
 
I'm a bit confused. I thought that we would all pitch in and go door to door or something to collect the 20 signatures that are needed to nominate the candidates.  If we have up to 7 candidates we can get by with collecting only 20 signatures total, but if we have more candidates, then that becomes problematic too.  I do have some free time, but I have no voter list to work from. What is the latest on this? Anyone? Do we have the form for the signatures worked out yet? Thanks.
 
Sincerely,
 
John Thielking

Hello, All:  


      Elections for the County Councils of the Green Party of Santa Clara County will be held at our next regular meeting five weeks from yesterday, Thursday, June 27, at the San José Peace and Justice Center.


      Interested Greens are encouraged to run.  Our primary foci this year are (a) environment, including 350.org, and (b) universal health care.  We are also involved in many other things including citizen-funded elections and news, without which progress on any other issue is virtually impossible.  


      More will follow shortly including collecting signatures to support the candidacies of the existing County Council members.  If you might like to serve, you do NOT need to have signatures collected:  You just need to appear at the June 27 meeting and convince the attendees to elect you;  you must be registered Green for at least a year and live in Santa Clara County.  We currently have vacancies we've been unable to fill.  We are allowed 7, and we currently have five.  After at least one of them is officially elected on June 27, the new County Council can then appoint others subject to the approval of the rest of the attendees at the monthly meeting.  See also "http://www.cagreens.org/santaclara/".  


      Hope to see you on June 27.  
      Spencer
