Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 03:43:09 +0000


Madame Secretary and Honorable members of the Green National Committee,

The Green Senatorial Campaign Committee decided tonight, by
consensus, to issue a call for nominations and election of the
first Green Party House Campaign Committee.

We request that the Steering Committee hold this election
expeditiously, so that the newly-composed GPHCC has time to meet
all the benchmarks during 2008 to qualify for FEC national
committee status by early 2009. Further stalling on the holding of
this election may prevent the GPHCC from qualifying for national
committee status before 2011.

Thanks you for your attention to this matter.

--brent White
Secretary, Green Senatorial Campaign Committee



Call for nominations for and election of first Green Party House
Campaign Committee



Proposer: Green Senatorial Campaign Committee

Background
Proposal #223, Creation of National Green Party House and
Senatorial campaign committees, was adopted by the GPUS National
Committee on 6/19/06. The first Green Senatorial Campaign Committee
was elected soon thereafter, and the second GSCC was elected in
July of 2007.
The GSCC feels that the time has come to launch the Green Party
House Campaign Committee (referred to originally as the National
Green Party House Campaign Committee), and provide the sort of
backup for House races that the GSCC provides for senate races.


Call for nominations and election:

The GSCC requests that the Steering Committee set a period of time
for nominations of candidates for the first Green Party House
Campaign Committee, to last at least three (3) weeks, commencing as
soon as practicable.

According to the original bylaws of the National Green Party House
Campaign Committee, any member of the GNC may nominate any
candidate for the GPHCC. However, nobody may serve simultaneously
on the GPHCC and the GSCC, or on the GPHCC and the GPUS Steering
Committee.

The main preferred qualifications for candidates are experience in
federal elections or in fundraising.

Each candidate will get to submit a 500-word statement making the
case for electing her or him to the committee. This statement must
be turned in to the Party Secretary by midnight Pacific Time,
within one week after the end of the nomination period.

The election shall then occur as soon as practicable after the
deadline for candidate statement submissions, with nine members
elected proportionally using the method of single-transferable vote.
