Why have you not been to nor reported to anyCTGP meetings yourself as IC
"cochair" in over a year?Not even the convention. Yet you and your husband
went to Ariz as "reps" of CT and he dared ask after a year of no shows at
CTGP meetings to go as our elected rep. Money talks? How long can you milk
thre $10,000 you donates to CTGP years ago***A***

> Background
> The Green Party of the United States National Commiittee passed on the
>date
> of 11/20/2005 a Resolution, number 190, that commits the Party to
>several
> actions in support of the set of principles contained therein. Such
>actions
> include, but are not limited to, calling on "institutions",
>"organizations",
> and "governments" to "implement a comprehensive divestment and boycott
> program". The resolution also reinforces Party support for 'Palestinian
> Refugees Inalienable Rights to Return to their homes and to receive
>material
> compensation for their losses'. Members of the Green-Rainbow Party have
> actively pursued public referenda to help enlist the Massachusetts state
> legislature's support for divestment, and also to have local legislators
> register their support of the right of return for the Palestinian
>diaspora.
>
> The Somerville Divestment Project has successfully petitioned to place
>two
> referenda on the ballot in a state representative district in
>Somerville, MA
> that are phrased as follows:
>
> 1) Shall the State Representative from this district be instructed to
>vote
> for
> resolutions calling on all governmental entities of the Commonwealth of
> Massachusetts to sell any investments they hold either in Israel Bonds
> or incompanies that supply military equipment to Israel ?
>
> 2) Shall the State Representative from this district be instructed to
>vote
> in favor of a nonbinding resolution calling on the federal government to
> support the right of all refugees, including Palestinian refugees, to
>return
> to their land of origin ?
>
> The Green-Rainbow Party has endorsed both resolutions, urges the
>national
> party's support and endorsement of such efforts, and hopes other party
> affiliates may pursue such efforts. This proposal if passed would
>accomplish
> one thing: The Green Party of the United States officially would endorse
> the Somerville Divestment Project's proposed referenda.
>
> Proposal
> The Green Party of the United States endorses the following two ballot
> questions to be considered in the Somerville, Massachusetts state
> representative district:
