<DIV><FONT size=4>John: At last month's meeting, the consensus (from my
viewpoint) was that the topics of "Iran" or "Syria" are topics too large and to
vague for there to me any comment(s) other than the situation in each country is
"terrible" (paraphrase). Your request that these topics be on each monthly
GPSCC agenda do not contain any scope of discussion, any specific proposal, or
any explanation about what could be done locally. IMO, as someone who has
been compiling GPSCC agendas for years, it is unfair and unreasonable to be
proposing agenda items without these details. Similarly, it seems strange
to me to be proposing spending money for ads on MTA buses in San Francisco when
there is a GPSF. The place to take that kind of proposal, IMO, is to that
County GP (or, in this case, to the New York City GP).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If you want the GPSCC to recommend that the GPCA requwest its
GPUS Delegation to sponsor a GPUS anti-war resolution, then say so...
But a more effective way to get that would be to contact the California GPUS
Delegates directly. You can get that information from cagreeens.org and
follow the Party and Committee links. Warner</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Additional items for the agenda:</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Cambria></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>1) We need to be sure to have our monthly discussion re: Iran and
Syria. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Cambria></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>2) Also, we may need to revisit the decision about ordering 20
shirts, as the actual cost is more than originally estimated. I still
have not heard from Caroline about what method she was using to screen
print our previous batch of shirts, which could cut our estimated cost
in half. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Cambria></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>3) Also, we should make a motion to formally endorse the position
that the US and NATO should not intervene in Syria or Iran and pass this
resolution on to other Green Party groups, especially the German Greens,
who were in favor of the NATO intervention in Kosovo in the
1990's. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Cambria></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>4) We could also consider donating some money to an as yet
undetermined group that would run SF Muni Ads in opposition to the
Zionist hate speech against Palestinians that the MTA refuses to prevent
from running because of a lawsuit in New York that ruled that the
Zionist group has the right to run their ads on free speech
grounds.</DIV>
