###
Spencer Graves Proposal re GPSCC local candidates endorsements. Prop 14
has in essence transformed the primary into the only election for minor
parties. We can appear on the general election ballot only if we come in
first or second in the primary. That strongly encourages minor parties to
coordinate with one another to the maximum extent that their membership will
allow. We cannot control which candidates pull papers and file to run, but
we can control endorsements and recruitment of candidates to file papers.
There was discussion of this in the email list of the GPCA Standing General
Assembly <gpca-votes at cagreens.org>. Sanda Everette indicated there have
already been contacts between the statewide Coordinating Committee of the
California Greens and representatives of Peace and Freedom and Libertarian
parties. Sanda said, "We were hoping that there could be a full statewide
slate with candidates running from the three parties and no one competing with
another third party candidate."
RESOLUTION: The Green Party of Santa Clara County will attempt to contact
other minor parties in Santa Clara County, attend their meetings, and
invite them to ours for the following purposes:
1. The Santa Clara Greens will agree to endorse candidates of other minor
parties for races where we do not have our own candidate. "Minor
parties" in this case will refer primarily to the Peace and Freedom and the
Libertarian parties.
2. The Santa Clara Greens will attempt to coordinate with other minor
parties to develop joint procedures for recruiting candidates to run for
offices in a way that can maximize our chances of winning.
Spencer Graves Proposal re GPSCC blog.
PROPOSED: The Santa Clara Greens will authorize the creation of a blog on
its web site. The party will elect at least two blog editors. At least
one editor (different from the author) must approve any text posted as a
blog. All blogs must be consistent with the ten key values and be labeled as
the opinion of the author and not necessarily a position of the Green Party
of Santa Clara County. Also, claims that might be controversial should be
justified with a footnote giving a reference to an appropriate source with
not links when appropriate web sites are available.
