{news} FW: Green candidates (from Audrey Cole)

[Green Party-CT]

The rough draft press release about TALKING with weicker was never sent out and was to get input.
   
  Any true anit- war candidate who is an Independant MIGHT be worthy talking , and just mean talking to..not endorsing them
   
  he could win.. and that would be scary.. but doing what is best for the Greens is my goal.

The Connecticut Green Party should not circulate the names of potential
candidates without first having a discussion with the persons named. This is
especially true of non-Greens. A press release referencing a future
discussion with Lowell Weicker as a candidate without speaking with him
first is just such an example. Weicker is not Green (look up his positions)
but is a strong and untiring advocate for third party candidates.

Although I support a push to run a slate of candidates in the next election,
I think Greens should focus on getting the state party administrative issues
fixed immediately. We have had several important resignations ... and more
may come. Candidate have had a difficult enough time with a run without
confronting the interparty disputes and tensions and lack of support (which
many did not expect.) It is an embarrassment.

My suggestion is that we have an immediate election to fill vacant
positions. I committed myself to completing an internal audit of the party
books over a year ago, and I apologize to members for this having taken so
long. We are working hard on it now, and I intend to fulfill that
commitment.

We have lost some truly wonderful and dedicated people, and now is the time
to rebuild the party internally and get re-organized so it will attract
those candidates we seek.
