Concerns about GRP website: “Eliminate US Military”

JB: We look naive. 0%... immediately?!?! How can we attract other groups if we aren’t pragmatic.

Jamie: We are a peace party, but this could  be worded better. Make it clear what we stand for.

Josh: Voted for the proposal. Violence is extreme. Do we believe in non-violence or not?

John: A small group is crafting a counter proposal.

What to do after Bernie Bust, when the #Demexiters #Greenenter?

Jamie: In 2017, the attendance was incredible and it was sabotaged. We need to be ready with Membership Packets ready to go. Many of them won’t have political experience. Let’s think of ways to on-board them, get them involved.
