Argh! Please remind us we need to log in before commenting! I wrote a long comment which seems to have been lost. So here goes again. I’m glad to see the section about following up on past proposals by shepherds. However, I would love to see a more participatory engagement on past proposals, especially since some have seen no action. it would be good to activate or revive the two new groups of legislation and action, GASP and pipeline opposition, identifying the new districts for proportional reps, MAAPL workshops (one is being organized now), the Community Uplift Initiative, etc. I had hoped to review past proposals but didn’t get to it, so this list is based on memory only.

The Party is now paying over 25/month. This one tool to help us effectively keep track of our volunteers.

A possibly more interesting discussion might be how engaged should the Party/State Com be engaged in Federal Election Activity as opposed to possibly more effective Local Activity.
