Implementation of our Delegate Selection Plan
Saturday March 29, @11:41PM, by John Andrews, Jill Stein
Subject : Delegate Selection Plan
Summary :
The Green-Rainbow Party submitted a Delegate Selection Plan to the Massachusetts Secretary of State in October 2007. This plan was carefully written to be in compliance with state election laws and to protect the democratic process. The Plan calls for all votes cast to be treated as equally valid in apportioning delegates. The Plan represents a promise to voters, to candidates, and the Party to observe open and explicit rules in the competition for votes and delegates to the national convention. Attempts to alter this plan in order to invalidate votes cast on February 5 or to deny delegates to particular candidates can create legal risk for the Party. Such attempts are also are an invitation to undemocratic partisan infighting that could undermine the integrity of the electoral process. Our committees have much work to do to properly implement the Plan and must focus upon getting that work done in a timely manner. This proposal provides instruction to our committees that will clarify their responsibilities and focus their work.

SUMMARY:

This proposal instructs GRP committees to implement, to the best of their ability, the approved Delegate Selection plan as submitted to the Secretary of State.

Text :
The Administrative Committee and all working committees which might be involved with the related issues are hereby instructed to make good faith efforts to implement the Delegate Selection Plan as filed with the Secretary of State in October 2007. Deviations from this Plan should be made only where it is impossible to follow it for reasons of legal compliance or where unavoidable changes in dates must be accepted. Any such deviations should be for purposes of better implementing the intent of the Plan, not to undermine it, alter its intent, or elaborate upon it.
