GPUS Voting results

Three proposals were adopted last night by the National Committee of the Green Party of the United States:

Hosting of the 2006 Annual National Meeting
Through ranked preference voting, delegates voted to have this year’s annual National Committee Meeting in Tuscon, Arizona from July 27-30.

GPUS National Committee Approval of Forum Managers
Three Discussion List Forum Managers and one alternate were voted in by a simple majority of votes:
51 “yes”; 27 “no”; 5 “abstain”.

(I am one of the three newly elected Forum Managers.)

Endorsement of Letter from Coal River Mountain Watch
In the spirit of the Key Value of Ecological Wisdom and in light of the recent tragedy at the Sago mines in West Virginia, the NC voted unanimously to the signing of the “Coal’s Dirty Secret” letter, drafted by Coal River Mountain Watch. The letter opposes the use of the misleading term “clean coal” by mine owners.
