[statecom] Explanation for actions

[Gracegrnrnbw at aol.com]

I very much appreciate those who have asked me why I care about how we carry 
out our entire Presidential Nominating process.

Rather than answer in bits and pieces, this is a brief attempt.

We are essentially a non-profit organization by law.   Our by-laws are 
legally binding.   Those of us on adcom are therefore legally and fiduciarily 
responsible for implementation of our corporate responsibilities.   For instance, we 
are supposed to have access to and review all documents sent out in our 
corporate name.   (See Attorney General's website for one document describing 
fiduciary responsibilities - like reading and following by-laws)

In a Presiential Primary Election - our actions (how people get on our 
ballot, selecton of delegates) become an extension of the state's legal 
responsibilities to the voters, candidates and our democracy.   Therefore, such 
constitutional requirements as an equal right to run for a represetantive office (such 
as a convention delegate) apply to our actions.   As you may already realize, 
this is why our Delegate Selection Plan has to be filed with the state.   And 
why it is legally binding on our actions.

Since I have been and expect to continue to be in fiduciary positions, 
carrying out those responsiblities legally matters to me.

And in these matters, as an extension of our government, I am sure we would 
not want to put ourselves in the very positions we complain about other elected 
officials - not reading the details of documents we are deciding upon, not 
following our agreements as elected representatives, etc.

That is why...

Thanks for listening, Grace
