"Minor parties"? Puhleeze! How about "emerging parties" or "nascent parties"?

Subject: Re: [GPSCC-chat] Call For Agenda Items GPSCC Meeting Thursday October 24th
1. GPCA Plenary delegate
recruitment and selection. (15-20 minutes?)
2. Green party endorsing candidates for state office.
Between November 17 and 24, our delegates to the Standing General
Assembly (Jim Doyle, Drew Johnson, John Thielking, Betsy and me)
are supposed to vote on endorsing candidates and issues as
outlined in an email I sent to this list on Oct. 9, 1:52 AM,
subj: "GPCA endorsements for June 2014 primary, Coordinating
Committee, initiatives". There will likely be discussion of this
at the plenary, and we need to instruct our SGA delegates on how
to vote at our meeting Nov. 24 -- if not earlier. I suggest we
have a 10 minute discussion of this at this meeting with a
tentative decision and instruction to delegates and everyone else
regarding how to complete this decision process with minimal time
on Nov. 24. (Announcement with brief discussion: 5 minutes)
3. 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:
3.1. 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.
3.2. 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.
TIME ESTIMATE: 15 minutes?
4. Confirm Green Party December meeting on the 19th
(announcement with discussion: 5 minutes)
5. PROPOSED: SCC GREEN BLOG (see my email to this group
stamped 10/15/2013 10:26 PM, subj: SCC Green 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.
TIME ESTIMATE: 10 minutes
6. Sponsoring a local screening of Gar Alperovitz's "Next
American Revolution". This possibility was discussed in emails to
this list from Drew and me Oct. 6, subj: 'Re: [GPSCC-chat] Fwd:
[gpca-forum] Free copy of Gar Alperovitz's "Next American
Revolution" DVD for local Green Party screenings'.
DISCUSSION: Should we do this? With whom should we
try to co-sponsor? Who has energy to try to help organize
something in this area?
TIME ESTIMATE: 10 minutes.
That's my list.

Folks! The next Green Party of Santa Clara
County general monthly meeting will be next Thursday,

At the September meeting I agreed to prepare a draft agenda.

Please remember to identify whether the item is a report, a
discussion item, or a decision item. List who will be the
presenter(s) and how much time you think should be given to
the item. Remember that we try to limit meetings to two
hours maximum and that there will be many items on the
agenda. If you are proposing a specific proposal, please

draft agenda.
