Electoral Reform Notes
 
Hello all,
 
Here are the notes from the ERWG meeting at the GA on 11/11/17:
 
The Electoral Reform Working Group did not meet quorum, so all discussion was informational.
 
Carol A. Bouldin facilitated the group in the absence of Ann Menasche and Eric Brooks.  She shared that the Electoral Reform working group recommended that the California Green Party endorse the Stop Top Two ballot initiative a few months back and that this was voted on by the coordinating committee and approved.
 
The Stop Top Two initiative would effectively restore CA Primaries to their previous form, in which each party would select which candidate to run in the general election, by repealing the Top Two ballot initiative that passed in 2010 (Prop 14).  Currently the signature gathering process is underway to put the initiative on the ballot (see link above), and about 600,000 valid signatures are required as it would be a constitutional amendment.  For more info on the initiative go to: https://www.stoptop2.com
 
Carol also made everyone aware of HR 3057, which has been discussed in the ERWG telephone conferences.  HR 3057 is a bill in the US House of Representatives that would introduce ranked choice voting and proportional representation for congressional elections. She recommended we call our House Reps to pressure them to sign on as co-sponsors as this bill would help third parties gain some traction on the national level.
 
Various members discussed the importance of paper ballots as the most transparent form of voting. One member suggested we look at the model pioneered by Humboldt County: all ballots are scanned and available online for anyone to count. All of the ballots are also physically stored for recounts.
 
Additionally, there seem to be frequent issues with people's voter registration being randomly changed. People have reported their party preference changing without notice.
 
It was also stressed that we review Mike Feinstein's revisions of the platform on the number of signatures needed to get candidates on the ballot and move forward to amend or approve.
 
Greens interested in participating in the ERWG conference calls:
 
Reed Heisley-Shellaby
Kristen Gritter-Cox
Shannel Pittman
Michael Gaboury
Christine Pepin
Heather Walker
Kathy Swift
Anthony Krzywicki

IT Committee Report
 
Hi all,
This is to report that the IT committee met in Ventura at the GA. The following people were in attendance:
 
Nassim Nouri
Aleece DePuey
Bob Terry
Colt Gonzales
Jennifer Hall
Douglas Johannes
Jane Jarlsberg
Amber Hendershot
Herard Olsen
Rick Greenblott
Sanda Everette
Sadie Fulton
 
The meeting was inquorate. A general discussion took place around our website and resources; including some background information about what operates where, etc. A large majority of those involved in the discussion wished to see our website migrated to NationBuilder; this is resulting from a general dissatisfaction with the overall skill level required to maintain the current website, the need to upgrade it anyway, and a general desire for a more accessible, intuitive content management system, of the variety that NationBuilder offers. Colt and Nassim both expressed interest in joining the committee.
 
In addition, I can report that our regularly scheduled meeting was due to go ahead on 11/20, but did not. There was no email announcement for it. I dialed the number about two minutes after the start time, and waited on the line for about ten minutes; nobody else joined the call during that time.
The committee is currently engaged in email discussion around scheduling an alternate time to make up this meeting.

Application: Nassim Nouri (Santa Clara County) to the IT Committee
 
Dear CC Committee members,
I’d like to submit my application, below, for the IT Committee to you for consideration at your upcoming December meeting.
Thank you for your time and all you do for GPCA,
Nassim
 
Nassim Nouri- nassim1nouri@gmail.com ~ 408-396-5722
I am applying to the IT Committee with the main goal of significantly improving and expanding the support GPCA provides to our county chapters. My professional experience started in science and medical research in academia and led to managing marketing and communications roles in the biotech industry. Currently I manage all of the website, monthly Newsletter and some social media communications for three organizations, including our Green Party of Santa Clara chapter (TheGreens.us), as well as SouthBayPA.org and REACHShirati.org (I created the later two websites and currently maintain all three).
I hope is to contribute to the IT Committee primarily on the GPCA website development and redesign to make it accurate, inspirational and actionable. I also plan to help improve the user experience, participate in building robust communication channels, and simply pitch in the work load that this Committee’s few members have been burden with, for far too long. As a member of the Clearinghouse Committee I also see an opportunity to integrate efforts and streamline communications internally.
My vision for the Green Party is for us to grow into more than an electoral alternative. We need to take our rightful place as the moral imperative in our government. To reach this goal we need to engage all those who have been driven out of participating in our democracy, and effectively communicate our platform, potential and pride in being Greens, the party for, by, and of the people.

Colt Gonzalez (San Joaquin County) to the IT Committee
 
Hello,
 
My name is Colt Gonzales and I'd like to apply for a position on the I/T Committee.  I currently serve as a Co-Coordinator for my County, San Joaquin.  I also serve on various other committees on the county level including I/T where I've worked on the creation and maintenance of our first website, and also our subsequent highly functional NationBuilder Website and database SJCGreens.org . Throughout my life I've acquired various I/T skills needed to fix and maintain websites and databased systems to the point of becoming a local "I/T go-to" at almost every workplace I've ever been a part of.  If I don't have the skills to get something done, I know whom to call to find out how to fix or create something and get it done.
 
I'd like to help the committee and the state party as a whole by applying my knowledge of modern systems to help bring our party up to speed in the modern era of a constantly changing political landscape that demands we run and maintain a highly adaptable web presence.  One that doesn't require constant and laborious maintenance by highly skilled I/T people or coders daily, which actually limits our party's ability to be effective on a day to day basis and requires we scavenge the party for the those skills and attempt to draft people into positions they may not seek.  Applying modern tools and systems to our party will help to facilitate a highly organized and highly functional party to compete in the 21st century and reduce our party's I/T Labor Costs considerably.
 
Thank you,
 
Colt Gonzales

H ello GPCA CC members,
 
I'd like to put my name forth to be considered as a member of the Fu ndraising C ommittee.  In addition to my commitment to building the GPCA, I have extensive relevant experience that would allow me to serve the Fundraising Committee well.
 
In my previous twenty-plus year career as a public librarian, I spent several months annually inviting local businesses to support the library's mission by contributing to programs that encouraged teens to read for fun throughout the year.  These efforts , which I light-heartedly called "beg-a-thons" typically involved connecting with the community and building partnerships. With few exceptions, I found that local businesses were happy to donate  to a cause that benefited the community locally and by extension, the world at large.
 
I am comfortable writing letters, making phone calls and reaching out to anyone who might consider supporting the Green Party's Ten Key Values, financially or otherwise.  My skills and experience can easily be applied to the non-corporate donor world.
 
Thanks for considering my application and I look forward to hearing your decision.
 
In solidarity,
Deatra Cohen

Green Party Coordination Committee,
 
Aloha! My name is James Kaimilani Young. I am a native Californian, Father and Naval Veteran and I’m applying to become a Media Committee Member to assist and uplift the Green Party of CA.
 
In the course of 20 plus years, I have worked with many different marketing firms across Orange County CA. Door to door, Business to Business, public speaking, email, direct mail, social media are just a few marketing strategies that I’m very familiar with. The vast list of companies from fortune 500 companies to mom & pop advertising and marketing businesses that I have had the pleasure of working with have given me a vast amount of knowledge and a formidable skill set that I will bring to the Green Party Media Committee Member position.
 
After doing my own due-diligence and checking my own recourses thus to find out that the U.S. has one political party posing as two – I decided to leap off the Democratic sinking ship about 2 years ago and became a Green Party voter registered member. However, there are millions that have left the new center-left and are now in limbo and that are in a stasis of betrayal. This mass of U.S. voters is “floating” with nowhere to land. Well, I seek to assist our last and only hope (The Green Party) at taking down a two-headed monster that is currently destroying our nation, the planet and all of its inhabitants and if given the opportunity I will put forth great effort in providing a safe and comfortable place for these floating millions to land. Once our numbers become threatening; the 2 Party Oligarchy will have no choice but to [at least] notice our demands.
 
I would be more than honored to be a part of a political party that has held my exact political ethics and values for decades but was never contacted or tapped on the shoulder to realize who the GP truly is. Let’s just say that like me there are millions that are “naïve” to what the Green Party is truly about. I strongly believe that I have many state of the art processes and systems that would help reach far more GP members to then organize and reach out to the floating and naïve masses across our nation.
 
Besides my eagerness to succeed and the diligence that I put forth in all my endeavors, it would be an absolute pleasure to work hand in hand with other Green Party members to do my best to give, use and share my talents, skills and abilities to help The Green Party evolve and excel, because let’s be real… We absolutely must have as many resources possible to combat a system that is stacked to the stars against us.
 
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
James K. Young
