Subject: [Locals] In regards to the failure to post a minority opinion
asrequired by our By-laws


Dear contacts for our local chapters,

This email is simply to inform you that eleven (and growing) of your
fellow GRP members submitted a statement: "regarding 2008 presidential
primary ballot history and urgent request for solving problems" in
accordance with Section 11.4 of the By-Laws.

This section of the By-laws states: "Minority Opinions. Significant
minority opinions within the Green-Rainbow Party will be recorded and
communicated to other national and regional Green organizations as
appropriate."

It was sent to the Secretary of the GRP this past Thursday, February
28th, 2008, as the person responsible for recording our documents and
requested to be communicated to you.

We understand from the Secretary that while he understands that this
bylaw says "will be communicated" that he is not doing so because he
was so requested by the co-chairs.

The only duties that the co-chairs perform without the full
participation of all adcom members that we can find in the bylaws are
listed under 9.10 and do not include deciding about the communication
of minority opinions (they include official spokespeople, set adcom
agendas, arranging various facilitation, notifying adcom members of
meetings and ensuring adcom members are doing their duties).

We hope that you receive the Statement with the history and urgent
request for action soon.

Sincerely,

James O'Keefe (on behalf of the signers of the aforementioned minority
opinion)
Membership Director, Green-Rainbow Party of Massachusetts
