<DIV><FONT size=4>I think any one of these issues could involve a 20 minute
discussion or longer... I suggest that Spencer choose one of these topics
for the next meeting and we go through them one at a time each month. I do
not see any special urgency for a GPSCC "supports" statement for any of them,
since there is no action provision involved. Also, again, I think
that any presentation of such proposals should include at least a text summary
of what is being requested to be endorsed and information about the current
status (if any) of applicable GPUS and GPCA platform items.

min) - Electoral Reform Proposal (Spencer?)<BR>"“The Green Party of
Santa Clara County supports the following <BR>initiatives for electoral
reform: Overturning Citizens United, <BR>citizen-funded election and
news, the US and California Disclose Acts, <BR>the National Popular Vote
Interstate Compact (that requires <BR>participating states to commit all their
electoral votes to the <BR>candidate who wins the popular vote), and
Instant-runoff voting (as <BR>outlined in the Wikipedia article on "Electoral
reform in the United <BR>States"). The Green Party of Santa Clara County
will collaborate with <BR>all other organizations working to pass these issues
including getting <BR>supporting resolutions passed at local and state levels
as appropriate. <BR> This includes in particular Move to Amend and
Rootstrikers.”<BR><BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
