I would like are council to endorse the debate and retreat - sponsorship for debate to is up - but don't think where org. enough for that 13. According to the principle Duverger's Law, only two parties can exist in the long run in single-winner, winner-take all elections (such as all of ours at the national level). There is only one way for the Green Party to become a viable party in America at the national level, as it is in Europe, short of a cataclysmic environmental catastrophe. And that is to make America a true representative multiparty republic, as most of Europe and the civilized world is. Can it be done? Yes, it can. But it will require a temporary national unity grand alliance party in 2008 of everyone from the Greens to Libertarians, and the Religious Right, African-Americans, seniors, other liberals, Latinos, etc. Everyone disenfranchised by the current system. I believe that if America realizes that it can have a real uncorrupted representative republic, in which every vote counts, it will vote for democracy overwhelmingly. I propose such a strategy at: http://www.americanelectionquiz.com/Victory.html The question is, will you join us? Is the Green Party able to compromise and cooperate short-term – the 2008 presidential election - in order to get what it wants in the long-term – to become a viable national party in America by 2010, with a real effect on American policy? You have the greatest experience in running third-party elections. It cannot be done without you. Sincerely, Ken Ross, CPA, MBA Atlanta,GA P.S. Today I have mailed over 2600 emails to members of each of the above groups. You are welcome to share this plan with your associates. Happy 2008! From Jim 14. Can meet most any night. Have an agenda item. The Marin Registrar of Voters has invited a representative to be on the Election Observer Panel. Cat may be interested. We can have two observers. Jerry put up by
