<DIV>a discussion of the next steps for the single payer health care movement,
upcoming activities, role of the Green Party in building the movement and how
we can work in the movement more effectively to build the Green Party.</DIV>
<DIV>TIME: 30 MINUTES.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>To my thinking this is an excessively broadly framed
discussion. I don't believe that the GPSCC has agreed to take on or other
wise be responsible for the entire "single payer health care movement". To
do so would seem to be hugely arrogant and cosmically beyond the relatively
meager GPSCC participants' time/energies -- notwithstanding members who are
already involved in the local county health care for all chapter.

<DIV><FONT size=4>The term "Green Party" likewise is overly broad. Is a
member of the California Delegation to the GPUS or some other GPUS officer or
committee member expected to attend our meeting to represent and discuss
the activities of the national Green Party? Is there someone from the GPCA
Coordinating Committee or Green Issues Working Group expected to attend?
Isn't our self-acknowledged role as a progressive political party to be
supportive rather than directive?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Again, use of the word "movement" without qualification seems
overly broad and poorly framed. How are we expecting ourselves to have
responsibility for the whole "movement" -- whatever that means.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>30 MINUTES... 30 MINUTES!!!!???? There
is no concrete proposal; just an invitation for more meandering undirected
conversation. Isn't this something a committee can be created for
people who want to have an extended conversation to develop a clear proposal for
action(s) that GPSCC participants could practically accomplish and
bring to a meeting as a clear and doable proposal?. </FONT></DIV>
