Brent McMillan should have been smart enough not to send out his email which
said things like "Elaine [Brown] is paranoid delusional and is also a late
stage alcoholic".
If he felt this way, he should have resolved the situation in face to face
meetings.
A lesson should be learned - do not send out incendiary emails.
If the political director position is a paid position (or even if it's not)
the greens should seriously think about replacing Brent McMillan. I don't
know if he's a "racist pig" or not; I don't even know if events lead him to
believe what he says below. I do know his email should never have hit
anyone's mail boxes. We cannot depend on someone who makes such a gross
error in judgement. Elaine Brown's candidacy should be decided by
registered greens, not by a smear attack by Brent McMillan.
Donna J. Warren, Green Party Los Angeles County, 2002-2006 Green Party
Candidate for California's Lt. Governor

Subject: [SC] Elaine Brown Situation
[The following is an excerpt from Brent McMillan's email]
"Dear SC member: .
Apparently Valentine had been sent by Elaine Brown to confront me, racist
pig
that I am. . Later Leon called me and confessed what he had been sent there
to do. Elaine went ballistic when he reported what had taken place. Don't
you know that all of us DC Statehood Greens are a bunch of racists bastards
just trying to keep Elaine off the ballot? Apparently Elaine is traveling
to DC on Wednesday to confront me and the
grand conspiracy to keep her off the ballot. I have forewarned Emily. I
don't know which of her past associates that she will send to come after me
next. But, I'm not one to run from a fight. Leon asked my advice about what
to do. I said to Leon that in my opinion Elaine is paranoid delussional and
is also a late stage alcoholic. .
