<div class="yiv2003046214moz-cite-prefix">Hello, All: Below please find
information on the Standing General Assembly (SGA) items currently
under consideration. Tomorrow evening, we need to decide how
Santa Clara County's SGA delegates should vote on these items.
From my perspective, the decision on all but one of the seven
items is fairly obvious. For Governor, we have a choice of
whether to endorse Deacon Alexander or Luis Rodriguez, either, or
both in what order. <br>

The options are her, "No other candidate", write in, or abstain. I
recommend we vote for her. <br>
<br>
<br>
ID 32 - Election: Coordinating Committee, one male seat, November
2013 - June 2015: There is only one candidate: Shamako Noble (<a href="http://www.cagreens.org/committees/coordinating/election-bios/2013-11/noble" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.cagreens.org/committees/coordinating/election-bios/2013-11/noble</a>).
The options are as before. I recommend we vote for him. <br>
<br>
<br>
ID 33 - GPCA position on California Cannabis Hemp Initiative 2014:
The options are to endorse, take no position, oppose, or abstain. I

and Luis Rodriguez (<a style="font: bold 13px/normal Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 51, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal;" href="http://www.cagreens.org/elections/2014/statewide-candidate-questionnaire-luis-rodriguez-governor" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.cagreens.org/elections/2014/statewide-candidate-questionnaire-luis-rodriguez-governor</a>).
We have five SGA delegates, and we can instruct them to vote
differently. In this case, my inclination is to instruct 3 of our
delegate to vote for Rodriguez first and Alexander second and the
other 2 delegates to vote the opposite. However, I could easily be
persuaded otherwise. <br>
<br>
<br>
* Longer term, I think we should work to recruit exactly one
candidate to run for different offices while coordinating with other
third parties under a slogan like, "Vote -- but not for bribery." <br>
<br>
<br>
* For next year, what do you think about working with the
League of Women Voters and other third parties to organize a series
of debates for offices that rarely get much attention in the media
these days? I think we can help build the party and generate more
interest in the primary -- and our candidates -- by helping organize
such debates. We need also a good outreach program, notifying the
media of the events, inviting all candidates for a given office,
using an empty chair for any who do not show, and using on-line
resources like "Ballotopedia" to summarize the kind of people who
should vote for each candidate or initiative. <br>

Graves Proposal re GPSCC local candidates endorsements.<span> </span>Prop 14 has in
essence transformed the primary into the only election
for minor parties.<span> </span>We
can appear on the general election ballot only if we
come in first or second in the primary.<span> </span>That strongly
encourages minor parties to coordinate with one another
to the maximum extent that their membership will allow.<span> </span>We cannot control
which candidates pull papers and file to run, but we can
control endorsements and recruitment of candidates to
file papers.<span> </span>There
was discussion of this in the email list of the GPCA
Standing General Assembly

indicated there have already been contacts between the
statewide Coordinating Committee of the California
Greens and representatives of Peace and Freedom and
Libertarian parties.<span> </span>Sanda
said, "We were hoping that there could be a full
statewide slate with candidates running from the three
parties and no one competing with another third party
candidate."<span> </span></span></div>

other minor parties for races where we do not have our
own candidate.<span> </span>"Minor
parties" in this case will refer primarily to the Peace

will elect at least two blog editors.<span> </span>At least one

posted as a blog.<span> </span>All
blogs must be consistent with the ten key values and be
labeled as the opinion of the author and not necessarily
a position of the Green Party of Santa Clara County.<span> </span>Also, claims that

footnote giving a reference to an appropriate source
with not links when appropriate web sites are available.
