Draft Agenda for Thursday, January 24, 2013 Green Party of Santa Clara County
GA meeting to be held at San Jose Peace Center 48 S 7th St, San Jose, CA.
Final Agenda will be published at 9AM Thursday.
7:00PM -7:30PM Arrive, socialize. Guest speaker Brian Good on:
A. developing new technologies.
1. Many years I have been unhappy that there has been no high-tech reinvention of a Commodore 64, Texas Instruments 99, Radio Shack TRS-80, or Atari 800 that could plug into our TVs.
2. For many years I have wanted a belt-pack flash-drive video recorder so I can plug my flaky old mini-DV video cameras into a tapeless recorder.
3. Smart phone tech is bringing us a computing reinvention without Windows, without Apple, without Intel or AMD. It runs Linux, it's thumb-drive or credit card sized, it's cheap, and it's here. Google A10, A31, Raspberry Pi.
B. third-generation California Disclose Act, SB52. Democrats hold 2/3 majorities in both Assembly and Senate so this year is likely to be the year we win. So join us!
7:30 Meeting begins. Identify facilitator: Jim Doyle </pre>

<br>
<br>
Currently, we have no criteria. <br>
<br>
<br>
Sandy: Invite speakers related to on-going campaigns. <br>
<br>
<br>
Campaigns: Single Payer (Sandy, Caroline), DeAnza (Sandy, Drew), <br>
<br>
<br>
How does CA Single Payer differ from "Health Care for All"?
Campaign for a Healthy California is a coalition driven by nurses.
Health Care for All is their own organization, initiated in the
1990s. Their drawback is mostly all white, ... . <br>
<br>
<br>
Caroline: We also need "climate" and 350.org. <br>
<br>
<br>
Caroline, Sandy, Brian Jim, Spencer to form a committee to
select topics for major campaigns: phone conference? Sandy has
free conference calling. Sandy to send email with suggested times.

<br>
Starting to invite speakers. Good. <br>
<br>
<br>
We operate too much as a committee as a whole. We would be
better, Drew believes, if we came together, broke into committees,
and then came back together. <br>
<br>
<br>
Sponsorship of events should be delegated to the County
Council. <br>
<br>
<br>
We could use Google Hangout to make our meetings virtual, so
people can attend without traveling. <br>
<br>
<br>
The exercise should be fun, energizing and productive. <br>
<br>
<br>
Drew to propose more material and send to the email list and
report a summary at the next meeting. <br>
<br>
<br>
For sponsorship, Drew suggests it gets posted and it passes if
no one objects. <br>

Santa Clara County is allowed 5 representatives on the statewide Standing General Assembly. We currently have only 3. John Thielking is currently not on that list; we should put him on. That
would bring us to 4, consisting entirely of our current County Council.
Drew noted that our County Council is currently all male. Number 7 of the 10 key values of the Green Party is "Feminism and Gender Equity" (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.gp.org/tenkey.php">www.gp.org/tenkey.php</a>). We could use some females. </pre>
