10.  The New Haven GP would like to bring up to the SCC on 11-28-06:

 a) We would like an update on the plan to change state party rules to allow
for a more workable quorum requirement.   I believe that the definition of
what an active chapter is has also been a part of this planning.

 b) A rule change that would clarify the grounds under which a duly
nominated candidate can be asked by the party to withdraw.

 3) Plans for making on-line contributions available on the CTGP web site
similar to the method used by the Thornton campaign.

 

       11. CTGP spokesperson needed to be a guest speaker at a class at
WCSC. 

The course I teach at WCSU (as an Adjunct) is entitled: "World Government,
Cultures & Economies".  Three of the books we're using are: The Culture
Struggle by Michael Parenti, The Clash of Civilizations by Samuel Huntington
& Globalization and its Discontents by Joseph Stiglitz.   It is an
introductory political science course wherein we have to cover a lot of
subjects, primarily international relations and international economics
within our ever corporate driven globalized world. So in an effort to spice
up the subject matter and make it relevant to our current lives, I was
looking for a Guest Lecturer who could comfortably discuss the relationship
between international economics and the Iraq war. Our class meets M&W
330-445pm in Room ... on the WCSU White Street campus near downtown
Danbury...a block and a half away from the MetroNorth Danbury station and
about a half mile from the I-84 highway (take Exit 5).   Best time to guest
lecture would be this week or next week.
