{news} Revetting of IC Co Chair Justine McCabe (National Inter. Com. Chair) and mistakes of Vas Nunes

Sun Nov 25 21:23:36 EST 2007

PLEASE MOVE ALL FURTHER DISCUSSION TO FORUM LIST SERVES.

  For the record..

  Dear Greens,

  I must correct the misstatements made by Amy Vas Nunes in a recent wild and rambling email.Her personal crusade to attack one person is sad and does not add to any one donating, or joining our state party.

  Vas Nunes wrote.about McCabe's  trip to Canada...."The most recent trip to Canada negotiations came via Tim. We were never informed she was going". 

  McKee:This is totally false. I  had nothing to do with it at all. The International Committee Co-chairs worked hard with Canadian Greens on trade issues and brought them to the National meeting in Reading. PA. All actions of the IC are theirs, and they consult with the steering committee and co chairs, not the National Committee.

  Vas Nunes:"or WHAT was said about Palestine."

  McKee:Garbage in garbage out- Why the hell would Palestine being discussed in a trip and press conference about US and Canada trade issues and large multinational corporations??

  Vas Nunes:  "The IC rules call for proplr to be removed after 6 mo of inactivity" (sic)

  McKee: You cant have it both ways! Our International Co chair is "inactive" AND does too much work like going to Canada and other trips?? This is crazy, twisted logic. Setting up Greens party speakers from other countries  for our national meeting, conference calls and sending us emails, and  reports is NOT inactivity except in the bizzaro world! 

  Folks, we need to get on with the business of growing the Green Party , not get side tracked by personal agendas,by one person.

Her 46 other emails{count by Bedell } ALL forwards or others essays. The most recent trip to Canada negotiations came via Tim. We were never informed she was going or The most recent trip to Canada negotiations came via Tim. We were never informed she was going Was it the opinion of ALL in the CTGP McCabe only speaks communicates with whom she chooses such as Tim or Charlie, She refuses to speak to Mike,Richard{ all on the "Peace" committee}Barbra and Chris. How 10 KV is this. She got herself as vice chair on IC and on Peace  without ever informing us. SHE IS ALSO INVOLVED WITH presidential SEARCH WE DID NOT KNOW THIS ALL in our name with out accountability or consult She has been out of the country a number of times to negotiate for us IN
 OUR NAME. This is a person that a number of JEWISH XTGP reported to CTADL no one has been on one longer what of term limits. We are NEVER consulted on her votes. She has been on the IC for 5 or 6 years I think there is a 2 year limit. The IC rules call for proplr to be removed after 6 mo of inactivity McCabe was NEVER active to the WHOLE CTGP by email oe in person reports at least every 3>6 months{per our new policies and procedures?} she has no chapter,until this threat of unseating. As "reasonable" as she makes herself seem she is an anti-semiotic{ reported by 2 other ACTIVE CTGP N.H.officers and Nader campaign leaders who quit due to her} loose cannon    Amy wE NEED A NON ARROGENT REASONABLE COMMUNITIVE PERSON WHO IS middle ground ON MIDEAST TO fairly AND openly REPRESENT AND communicate WITH VARIED OPINIONS

Subject: Revetting as IC rep Re: {news} Proposed agenda for 11-27-07 SCC meeting of CTGP atPortland's Senior Center

    Dear all, 

  I'm unable to attend the 11/27 state meeting to speak in person, but I'd like to be revetted as a GPCT rep to the International Committee (IC) which I currently co-chair.  (I can't attend state meetings in general as I work evenings during the week and live an hour and 20 minutes away.  Most immediately, I can't attend as I just had foot surgery and can't drive for a month or so.)  

  For some background, the IC's mission as a GPUS national committee is pasted below. That and some of our work are posted at our website  http://www.gp.org/committees/intl/ .  As with all national committees, the IC can have up to 3 members from each state party.  Besides myself, GPCT currently has Amy Vas Nunes and Richard Duffee as IC reps. 

  My tenure as IC co-chair began July 2006 and continues until July 2008, although I have been a GPCT rep to the IC for several years. As many of you may know, we have many state reps to the IC who have been on the committee for years, some longer than I, which has provided stability for the committee and the development of ongoing relationships with international greens especially.  Because we're all volunteers with day jobs, work is slow but steady, as we develop relations within the committee for drafting the foreign policy position papers--a main IC task.

  Members of the IC usually have some foreign policy interest/expertise.  Mine is the Middle East, developed during my doctoral education and work as an anthropologist doing research in Lebanon and Iran, and more recently in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories which I've visited yearly since 1994. I became GPUS point person on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and helped draft our Middle East foreign policy, much of which was formulated by GPCT proposals to the National Committee.

    In sum, I'm seeking your support for continuing as an IC rep. from GPCT, work that is very important to me and on which I spend a much time on behalf of the Green Party.

  Thanks, 
  Justine McCabe
