[candidate-development] GRACE'S ISSUE?--------------------------- DON'T YOU WISH!!!

[gary hicks]

Over these past months there has been a back-and-forth argument about just how are we going to get it right on the question of delegate apportionment. 
   
  It has come to a point where if we don't get it right on a proposed final reccomendation from the co-chair of the CDLC .
   
  And it is his reccomendation. The apportionment sub-committee is composed of John Andrew and Gary Hicks, who are at polar opposites on the issue; Elie Yarden, who is trying to ask everyone if we just can't all get along ------------ and truly this year's existential hero, Dave England, who in past weeks has gone where angels fear to tread on this issue, i.e signing off on items of dubious legality and polity.
   
  I happen to agree with enough of Grace's and Michael's and Martina's and Rick's, and both Jims, and a number of others that we have no business placing delegates for Nader, Ball, or Brown for the simple reason that AS OF TONIGHT AT THIS WRITING they are not running as nominees for our party's presidential ticket. Forget the picky details of the past month. This is whaere things stand TONIGHT.
   
  To repeat, I am in agreement with much of the politics of the Minority Opinion group. But I must also add that I am exhausted with the chariot race that's been taking place involving personalities: the absolute need to be right, the remarks about who is or isn't Green-Rainbow, the off-line emails which even I have shot off [ they'll be in my literary collection, to be opened 100 years after my death ---------- you're all safe.]
   
  We need to settle this matter and soon, to avoid further wreckage, waste of time, loss of opportunity to do the other things we need to be doing as a party. But I want to make it crystal clear --------- do not assume under any circumstances that Grace is the only persons who hold her views. If you choose to demonize Grace, or anyone in this party on either side of this argument, please know that you're messing with me.
