Hey Jim,
we need to get Byron vetted by CA you're new to me, but i've been here about
a year and a half i think.
Henry, 
wcw is World Can't Wait, as in 'the world can't wait for 2008", there are
chapters across the u.s. Tulsa had one, but i think most of it's members
have moved onto 911 Truth.
As for how many in every state, each adress on gpax would need to be queried
for an accurate reading. What we've done in the fall of 06 is ask who's
represented, and who else would like to join.
As of right now, gpax has onlist  86  and active, maybe 12?
I've little time to do all but if two others would step up to do 30 we could
fire off a batch and perhaps have a more comprehensive list?
Peace,
joni

Hi,
 
I started writing this "I don't think GPAX speaks for the party anymore than
PDA speaks for the Democratic Party. I do think we should endorse
representing organized peace oriented Greens and we should be doing a lot of
it. Is not the Green Party the anti-war party? The Dems will quickly be
showing they aren't."
 
Then I looked up the info online
http://www.gp.org/committees/peace/about.shtml        GPAX appears to be an
official committee of the GP and subject to Article 3 of the by-laws
http://www.gp.org/documents/bylaws.shtml
 
If there is a decisionmaking structure in GPAX they could make the
decisions. Absent that maybe a 2 day deadline. Post the request; people have
2 days to respond yeah or nay and debate. Try for consensus and then some
threshold vote to be timely.
 
What is the current membership of GPAX? How big is it? The description says
3 per state; is that occurring? Is there a list of the 3 official reps from
each state or particularly from Ca my state?  What is the decisionmaking
process? Are there additional by-laws to the ones I cited? 
 
Thanks,
Jim

what is wcw?
 
There should be a broad spectrum of people empowered to endorse. (say 10 -
200
 
Any one of those folks could empower the use of our name, and this should be
notified on email to a larger discuss list.
 
Should it provoke controversy, then it will. But those discussions help
clarify and actually help facilitate action.
 
As I have stated many times, I will work in coalition with everyone except
organized bigots like the minutemen, etc.
 
Were someone to associate GPAX or the national green party with them, I
would want a retraction, apology, and that person would no longer be able to
give our endorsement.
 
Thanks Joni in Okie,
hank back on the left coast

This may draw some similar fire.
My guess is, if we as gpax have a firm commitment towards action and 
expedited sponsorship, do we support that in our SC?
What if there's an org. we have real issues with?
How far does autonomy go?
Is the SC to be held to a different standard than we as an action committee
would like, being
that they're speaking for the Nat'l Party?
Nothings ever black and white, unfortunately, but i think as gpax we would
do well to discuss this, for
those of us that are able...
I'm thinking with good people and good goals and good kv's as a checkpoint
we/none of us should be holding others
back. My thought is, when compelled to flow, we should flow, when there's an
ebb we need to respect that as well.
These are my thoughts. What are Yours?
Peace,
joni
