[statecom] Followup to our request for the Secretary to post our minority opinion

[gary hicks]

"On the face of it, it looks like a partisan
document intended to damage the campaign of one particular candidate
and to intimidate party volunteer officers who have insisted on
resisting partisan schemes and respecting the votes cast in our
Primary." 
   
  John:
   
  Just for the record, ALL documents written or otherwise expressed in our party are PARTISAN. The quality of such may be excellent or questionable. All this by way of trying to improve your name-calling skills. :) Anyway:
   
  WHOSE campaign is being targetted for damaging and exactly how and by whom?
   
  HOW are our party's volunteer officers being intimidated and who is doing this intimidating ?
   
  EXACTLY WHAT IS THE NATURE of these partisan schemes?
   
  Merely stating these things doesn't make it so. And to be so summarily glib towards fellow party members who hold a view different than yours is not the best way to resolve matters at hand.
   
  In struggle,
   
  Gary Hicks

  I got a copy of the Minority Report by requesting it. I agree that it
is full of misinformation, is divisive, is harmful to the Party, and
seems designed to mislead people who have not been following the
issues it raises. On the face of it, it looks like a partisan
document intended to damage the campaign of one particular candidate
and to intimidate party volunteer officers who have insisted on
resisting partisan schemes and respecting the votes cast in our
Primary. I don't think the co-chairs should feel obligated to bow to
the demands that it be distributed as if it represented useful
document that has some official blessing. But it should be
forwarded, as the bylaw requires, to the national level (Green Party
US). Further distribution by the co-chairs or committees should be
accompanied by the promised "Majority Report" or whatever explanation
is needed to explain why the committees of the Party have rejected the
arguments contained in the Minority Report.
