I'm not sure we should assume that Dodd will run in 2010; if his awful
polling numbers prove persistent, he may decide that it's a good time
to retire on his own terms. Perhaps we'll finally see Blumenthal (or
DeLauro or Larson) running for the Dems. How would that=2
0scenario
influence the Greens' thoughts on running a candidate?
Sorry, I can only think of questions at this point, not comments,
since my feelings are mixed on so many levels.

For sake of transparency I feel CTGP needs these facts,If MCCabe was voted on
USGP Platform Committee in 2004 as stated,she needed to be re appointed to PC
every 2years per our bylaws and was not reappointed in 2006 or 2008 and is
therfore NOT legally on PC unless elected.Please note in bio she says she wrote
Mideast Platform. According to PC rules those submissions of 2004 and 2008
should have been submitted and approved by CTGP SCC and State PC . They were
never shown or seen/approved by CTGP although I have asked her for such proof
for years, it is not in minutes, no one recalls this. MCcabe has not had a
chapter for years it was dissolved nor attended ANY level CTGP meetings for
over 6yrs. The IC is currently under investigation for disolution by the USGP
NC{ National Committee} and BRPP{ Bylaws, rules policy and procedures] for
ille
gal coch election{MCcabe was "elected "with no quorm 23voted 18 did not, and
ranked 3rd and 0 below office by 2 CT IC reps }and IC not being accountable to
USGP. These facts have been brought forward by Calif delagation of numerous IC
reps, NC reps and SCC reps plus 6 other States IC reps. NOTE I would love to
stop talking about these political problems/facts.I would love to run against
another open woman candidate that has diverse World concerns and is active in
person in our Party/Chapter and works in coalition with other Ct reps on
committees like a caucus I would love the IC to concentrate on MANY world
problems not only Mideast. I would love MCcabe to attend the convention to
answer numerous questions about Platform State approvel,IC investigation/elections
etc.CTGP members and officers have for her. I hope these would incluide
questions on her attempts to cancel our 2007 elections.This attempt can be
verified by the people that paid to send ballots and hold convention and the
officers that received USGP questions if they still were an "active" Party, and
had to prove so,prompted from MCcabe. These persons are Charlie Pillsbury, Mike
DeRosa,Chris Riley, Jean DeSmet, Mike Westerfield all who put up extra money.I
think they all have been paid back Also at that time other former NWGP members
siezed CTGP POB, computer lists and Bank accounts that were only returned
because of threat of legal action bu CTGP. I belive these events were linked by
a20group of former NWGP members, in an attempt to be considered "THE" ctgp,
instead of the rightful group.I am truely sorry these facts had to come out but
I feel its for the health of the CTGP. We are now one and strong. Amy

Hi All,
I received my GPCT ballot today and discovered that my name had not been
included as a candidate for GPUS Platform Committee.
Below, are emails containing 1) my bio sent to GPCT secretary Barbara Barry on
March 22 declaring my candidacy for rep. to GPUS International Committee and
GPUS Platform Committee; 2) Barbara's email acknowledging my candidacy; 3) and
Steve Fournier's email acknowledging that he forgot to include me on the ballot.
I assume someone from the GPCT EC will rectify this situation.
Thanks,
Justine McCabe

Hi Barbara,
I'm seeking another term as a CTGP representative to both the International and
Platform Committees.
I've combined my bio and candidate statement below.
Many thanks,
J

-----------------
BIO, Candidate statement for Representative to GPUS International and Platform
Committees
My interest in the International and Platform Committees developed via
experience as an academic anthropologist in the Middle East (Lebanon, Iran).
Research interests led me to retrain in clinical psychology, which I practice in
New Milford. I continue to publish on culture/ human development in the Middle
East.
Since the mid-1990's, I've traveled regularly to Israel/the Occupied Palestinian
Territories, where I volunteered at the Gaza Community Mental health Clinic,
conducted respite workshops for Palestinian humanitarian workers, and with an
Israeli colleague, did training on the subject of human attachment under
conditions of political violence for teachers and social workers in East
Jerusalem.
I've been a CTGP representative to the IC since 2000, and IC co-chair since 2006
when I agreed to fill in for resigning co-chair Alan Kaufman. Last month, I was
elected for a 2- year term as co-chair along with Steve Herrick (WI). I've been
a member of the Platform Committee since 2004.
As a member of those committees, I've been a point-person on the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, helping to draft our current platform planks on
Middle East policy. In CT, I continue to work with the Middle East Crisis
Committee, and have represented the party at various peace conferences/demos in
CT and NY, and in 2004, in Haifa, Israel at=2
0the Right of Return Conference. This
month, I moderated a GP panel on Gaza and the I/P conflict in NYC. Also,
beginning in 2003, I've worked to foster GPUS relations with nascent (2)
Israeli, and Palestine Green parties, meeting with both groups a few times
there.
Within the party, I've presented workshops on the conflict at GPUS annual
meetings (on the Palestinian right of return; with Ruth Weill, on the GPUS
Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions resolution, Prop 190 Greens, Calling for
Palestinian Rights, Urge Divestment from Israel); and organized a workshop at
the 2004 GPUS convention on the occupations of Iraq and Palestine that included
international Green guests, among them a representative from one of the (now
defunct) Israeli Green parties.
My other work at international Green gatherings included participating in a
joint US-Canadian Green Party Teach-in on the North American Security and
Prosperity Partnership (SPP) in Ottawa, 2007 Canadian and US Green Parties blast
secretive NAFTA-Plus trade-security deal; I was an alternate GPUS delegate to
the 2008 Global Green meeting in Sao Paulo, and observer at the 2008 Federation
of the Green Parties of the Americas meeting in Quebec City.
In describing my experiences above, I've tried to show that much of the work and
mission of the IC especially (see http://www.gp.org/committees/intl/), involves
building relationships with members of international Green parties--mainly by
email, less often in person, all of which takes t
ime, continuity, and respect
for the different cultures these Green Parties represent, even while we share
Green values. I would very much like to continue to represent CTGP on these
national committees, whose missions are, in part, quite related.
I continue to appreciate input from CTGP members on foreign policy, especially
from those with experience in various parts of the world and/ or those actively
involved in various peace/justice campaigns.
In sum, my main interest in seeking your vote as a representative to these
committees--indeed in being a Green--is to work for peace.
Thanks,
Justine McCabe

Justine, I laid out the ballot. I made an error and neglected to place you on
the ballot for Platform Committee. Your name should appear there, and we’ll
note that at the convention. .
