Steering Committee Impeachment
Proposals 210 to 214 addressed the question of removing five members of the seven member Steering Committee. Each of them failed. The Steering Committee retains the same personnel. The details are behind the "Read more!" link...Proposal 214 would have removed Jake Schneider as our Treasurer if passed.
Proposal 213 would have removed Holly Hart as our Secretary if passed.
Proposal 212 would have removed Gwen Wages as Steering Committee co-chair.
Proposal 211 would have removed Marc Sanson as Steering Committee co-chair.
Proposal 210 would have removed Jody Haug as Steering Committee co-chair.
Here are the basic results:
Schneider:
Remove:24 Keep:70 Abstain:4 Total votes cast:98
Hart:
Remove:24 Keep:67 Abstain:7 Total votes cast:98
Wages:
Remove:16 Keep:74 Abstain:8 Total votes cast:98
Sanson:
Remove:22 Keep:68 Abstain:8 Total votes cast:98
Haug:
Remove:20 Keep:70 Abstain:6 Total votes cast:96
So, basically, three quarters of the NC did not vote in favor of the impeachments and about a quarter did vote for impeachment.

If you're starting to notice a pattern here, so am I, and it concerns me
The Green Party must fix this schism at the next national convention if at all possible. Is there anyone with the skill set to actually fix this, to come to some sort of accommodation?
I know it's going off the "deep end" to suggest it, but maybe we need "family therapy", and frankly I think I know just the women to do it...if they would.
Imagine a committee of these outstanding women seeking to reestablish cohesiveness across the nation.
Rebecca Rotzler
Pat LaMarche
Ina Mae Gaskin
Winnona LaDuke
Medea Benjamin
Fran Gallegos
Nancy Allen
Donna Warren
Starlene Rankin
Most of these women are active Greens. All are small g greens at a minimum.
I don't know folks, but if we don't get some help, things don't look as good as they might. Imagine a national political party without a chapter in NY, CA, PA, VT, NY and FL.
At a minimum we have lots of work to do in those states it seems to me.
Heck, 5 states didn't even bother to vote on some of the removal proposals...what does that mean...
Anybody have an aspirin?
