<pre class="k9mail">Hello, All:<br /><br /><br />Mike Feinstein and Tim Laidman have announced the opening of <br />discussion and voting for candidates and issues before the Standing <br />General Assembly. The Santa Clara Greens currently has 5 delegates (Jim <br />Doyle, Spencer Graves, Drew Johnson, John Thielking, Betsy <br />Wolf-Graves). The official "GPCA-votes SGA voting" discussion is now <br />open and will continue through the General Assembly at Santa Rosa, Nov. <br />16-17, and end via SGA electronic voting Nov. 24 -- unless the rules are <br />changed in Santa Rosa.<br /><br /><br />The following issues are currently being discussed by the SGA:<br /><br /><br />* Discuss ID 33 - California Cannabis Hemp Initiative 2014<br /><br /><br />* Discuss ID 34 - Governor: Deacon Alexander, Luis Rodriguez<br /><br /><br />* Discuss ID 35 - Sec. of State: David Curtis<br /><br /><br />* Discuss ID 36 - Treasurer: Ellen Brown<br /><br /><br />* Discuss ID 37 - Controller:
Laura Wells<br /><br /><br />I think we need to discuss this at the via email. I hope that at <br />the next Santa Clara Greens meeting, October 24, we will provide <br />instructions for how our SGA delegates are to vote on these issues -- or <br />at least a process that will produce an answer by the November 21 <br />meeting of the Santa Clara Greens. I'd prefer to have an answer before <br />November 21 to allow more time for our SGA delegates to overcome any <br />problems they might encounter with the voting system.<br /><br /><br />At this moment, I favor the cannabis initiative, and I think we <br />should endorse exactly one candidate for each office. Having two <br />candidates in our unified primary dilutes our limited votes and reduces <br />further our miniscule chances of winning. I've offered technical <br />support to Laura Wells for her campaign for Controller. She was arrested <br />while our candidate for Governor in 2010. For more, see the Wikipedia <br
/>article on her (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Wells">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Wells</a>). At the <br />present time, I have no preference between Alexander and Rodriguez for <br />Governor.<br /><br /><br />Comments?<br />Best Wishes,<br />Spencer<br /><br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
