[ComCom] [adcom] Proposed text for robocall; basis for decision

[Gracegrnrnbw at aol.com]

Merelice?   We are publicly discussing a robocall text (which is mostly what 
emails I have been reading...).   You are accusing me of acting unilaterally 
when all I have done is propose something to accomplish one of our Party's only 
a couple of stated commitments?

Proposing to others that we do somehting and staying engaged in the 
conversation to get that done is "acting unilaterally" and "as if you are a central 
authority"?

This is how daring to suggest anything is treated?

Is the goal here that no one suggest any action?   No one try to accomplish 
what we say is our Party's priority?   Doing what Mel said and the Rainbow 
agreed to about focusing on our foreclosure organizing (he had also specifically 
mentioned CORI) is going against the Party?

Nothing seems to be what we say any more...   Grace
