3.A. Reporting to SC: I regularly send a weekly work report to the SC.
Occasionally these have also been sent to the NC.

3.B. Reporting to NC: I send timely information to the NC on a daily basis.

4) New Projects
4.A. New Office – On 2/16/2009 we received a 90-day notice to terminate
our lease.

After a long search and an earlier failed negotiation effort:
4/26/2009: Inquired about possible office space at 1623 Connecticut Ave.
NW. The owner of the building, Jack, called me back and we set up an
appointment for 3:15 pm. It is on the fourth floor of the building.
There is no elevator. It’s a walk up. He wants $1,500 per month and that
includes everything. I know Jack by reputation, he’s a good person. He
will be there on Monday until 5:00 pm. I would like to arrange to have
other staff look at the office and to get dimensions before we begin to
discuss a possible lease.

4/30/2009: I determined that the 4th floor location at 1623 Connecticut
Ave. NW is approximately 540 sq. ft.

5/18/2009: I contacted Jack Menase and notified him that the SC had
given the go ahead on leasing the fourth floor.

5/20/2009: I met with Jack Menase. I gave him copies of the 2008 and
2007 990 forms, past financial statements, reference information
concerning our current and most recent past landlords. I also signed a
statement to authorize a credit check.

5/21/2009: Jack Menase called me to let me know that we passed the
credit check and he is ready to move onto the next step of having his
attorney draw up a lease.

5/26/2009: I received a draft of the lease from Jack Menase.

6/3/2009: I met with Jack Menase. We came to an agreement on the
Resolution and the Lease. I received the keys for the new office.

6/8/2009: We moved the bulk of the office.

6/10/2009: I delivered the three signed copies of the lease to Jack Menase.

6/12/2009: The phone line was hooked up. We dropped the fax line, (202)
319-7193 and are now using only two lines: (202) 319-7191 and (202)
319-7192. There will be a slight cost savings.

6/15/2009: Did final walk thru at old office location and turned over keys.

6/17/2009: Set up public phone access thru intercom/security system.
Basically someone from the public sphere dials #400 from the intercom in
the lobby.

6/17/2009: Verizon tech identified that the modem was no longer working.
He recommended that we purchase a new modem/router. Jody made
arrangement to purchase a Verizon Model 7500 modem/router and to have it
express shipped.

6/19/2009: The replacement modem/router arrived. We now have internet
access!

4.B. Database
6/18/2009: I met with Tamar to begin to establish a schedule for
transferring the main database from CiviCRM to DIA.

The beginnings of a project management schedule:

Action Owner Deadline
• Cleanup Tamar Ongoing
• Identify & Vet Reports Tamar July 1
• Create Reports Tamar Aug 15
• Matching Fields Kip Roberts? Sept. 7
Tamar
• Move Tamar Before Jan. 1, 2010

5) Finance
I worked on negotiating property and liability insurance. The new
property insurance policy began on May 29, 2009. The new liability
insurance began on June 17, 2009. There is some cost savings and we will
be receiving a refund.

6) Community Relations
6.A. Media
3/13/09: Worked with Greg Jocoy on article about Candidate Recruitment.
With-in one hour of it being posted to Green Party Watch it was the
number one Google Search for Green Party.

4/10/2009: I returned a call from Gaylon Ross who is working on a book
about the electoral process. He wants to know about what the Democrats
and Republicans do to keep third party candidates off the ballot. I sent
him several leads by email in follow-up to the call. He has several
titles on Amazon.

5/28/2009: I was contacted by Cynthia McKinney. She is in DC doing a TV
show. She was looking for a guest to join her on the show. I recommended
several local greens that I thought would be good. This may become a
monthly event.

6.B.1. Transpartisan – America Citizens’ Summit.
2/11/09: Flew to Denver Wednesday morning for the American Citizens’ Summit.
2/12/09: Press Event in Denver involving Cynthia McKinney. Cynthia flew
into Denver earlier in the day for the event. She had recently come from
Malaysia. Despite the fact that she was under the weather she did a
great job that should make all greens proud. She left the following
morning. Sam Ettaro, elected green officeholder from Pennsylvania worked
on the webcast.
2/15/09: Returned to Washington, DC from the American Citizens’ Summit.
At the Denver Airport I had a great opportunity to talk with Barbara

Nader at the University of California, Washington Center, “Corporate
Control and the Road to Serfdom”.

4/9/2009: I conducted my annual talk to a class at the Graduate School
of Political Management at George Washington University. I was asked to
address two topics:
1. Learning how to handle challenging grassroots situations.
2. Learning how to organize volunteers and prepare them for politically
unpopular causes

5/8/2009: I attended the sendoff for Sam and Kathy Smith. Afterward
Scott McLarty and I had a chance to speak with Ralph Nader and his aide
Matt Zawisky. We focused on Single Payer and ‘Clean Coal.’ I informed
Matt that candidate recruitment is going well.

6/16/2009: I attended the 17th Annual Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., Lecture
delivered by Sen. Pat Leahy at the UDC David A. Clarke School of Law. It
included a breakfast followed by the program.
C-Span covered the event and you can view Sen. Leahy's speech at:

6.E. International
2/3/09: Scott and I meet with Robert Habeck, party-leader/ speaker of
the Greens in Schleswig-Holstien, a state in the very north portion of
Germany, who is in the district as part of the Heinrich-Böll team, which
will blog on the first days of the Obama-government.

3/20/09: I attended, “Prospects for a Two-State Solution: Understanding
Challenges and Creating Opportunities” at the Center for American
Progress. Featured panelists were Brigadier General (Ret.) Ilan Paz and
Ghaith al-Omari. Paz is the former head of the Israeli Civil
Administration in the West Bank (2002-2005) and Ghaith is a former
senior advisor to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

4/22/2009: He was available at the office for reporters to contact
Wednesday afternoon.
He gifted the party with a handsome plexiglas standing plaque that has
the “Green Prospects of Pakistan” printed on it in Urdu. These are
similar to the 10 Key Values.

4/23/2009: There was a reception at La Orilla for Liaquat. He made a
statement concerning the use of drones and the killing of civilians by
the U.S.

4/27/2009: I received a call from Chris Angelos. He identified himself
as a “volunteer consultant” for the Bulgarian Green Party. He wants to
pursue the possibility of establishing formal relations with the Green
Party of the United States. He also wanted to know if we might do an
endorsement. I referred him to the co-chairs of the International Committee.

6/19/2009: I met with US Environmental Institute scholars from Fiji,
Malaysia, Singapore and PNG. We talked about how to mobilize their
communities. There were more members of their delegation than I was
aware. Our current office was too small so we met at a local coffee
shop. The meeting went well. We were the last stop of a six week tour.
The meeting was scheduled from 10: 45 to 11:30 it actually went on
longer to about 12:15.

7) Electoral
7.A. CCC
7.A.1. Candidate Recruitment
5/9/2009: I served on a panel at the Maryland Green Party Annual
Assembly along with Dan Robinson and Michael Cornell. I focused on the
impact that locally elected Greens have and why it is important to run
for office at this level. This took place at The Maryland Inn,
Annapolis, MD.

At the Maryland Green Party Annual Assembly, Mary Cook announced that
she is an elected Green on the College Park City Council, Prince
George’s County, MD. I am working with Brian Bittner and Rob Tufts on
following up on this. If this is correct she is up for re-election this
fall for one of two District 4 seats. Brian indicated that she does not
appear on the latest voter roll acquired by the state party but there
could be several explanations for this. He is following up with Mary on
this.

7.A.2. Campaign Schools
5/30/2009 – Green Party of Virginia meeting in Falls Church. I conducted
a workshop on building locals and recruiting candidates

7.A.3. Elections Database
The Election Database for 2009 currently stands at 132 candidates.
Relative to past odd year elections: At the end of June in 2007 we had
97 candidates.
At the end of June in 2005 we had 116 candidates.

7.A.4 Election Data and Analysis
For the year we have won 18 out of 64 races for a win rate of 28 %.
See Appendix B: Election Data and Analysis for a detailed list.

7.D. PCSC
6/3/2009: I participated in the State Volunteer Coordinator (SVC) Call
Wednesday night at 9 p.m. Eastern.

7.E. Ballot Access
Summary: Currently at 16 ballot lines: California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, D.C., Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine,
Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Oregon, South Carolina, West Virginia
and Wisconsin.

3/20/09: I attended Oral Argument for Ralph Nader v. DNC at the U.S.
Court of Appeals in DC. Ralph was there and sat at the attorneys table
but did not speak. Oliver Hall argued the appeal on behalf of Ralph.

4/27/2009: New Mexico is no longer a question mark. According to the
Ballot Access news, “On April 27, the New Mexico Secretary of State’s
office said that it recognizes the Independent Party and the
Constitution Party as being ballot-qualified. It said the Green Party
and the Libertarian Party are not ballot-qualified.”

5/9/2009: Richard Winger sent me an email that, “The Hawaii Constitution
Party is finally getting its blank party petitions for 2010 from the
Hawaii Elections Office. If the Green Party wants to be on in Hawaii in
2010 and wants to get started, you can.”

Louisiana: HB 776 Elections/Congressional will be reconsidered on
Tuesday, May 26. It would eliminate the primary for three of the five
qualified ballot access parties, including the Green Party.

Also, it is my understanding that there was a hearing on May 19 in which
none of the three ballot access qualified parties affected had
representation. Also, The Green Party of Louisiana was referred to in a
derogatory fashion which remains unchallenged. The source for my
information is Richard Winger.

I received a complimentary copy of Theresa Amoto’s new book, “Grand
Illusion”

7.F. Officeholders Network
We began the year with 156 officeholders.

Current Number of Officeholders: 160

Current Officeholders Schedule is linked to the Elections page located at:
http://www.gp.org/elections.shtml

I am working with David Doonan on creating an officeholders database
that I can access to change or add information. It would have both a
public and a private side to it.

The new officeholders database can be found at:

http://www.gp.org/elections/officeholders/index.php

8) Fundraising
8.A. Major Donors
Outstanding pledges at the end of June: $600

One time donations Year to Date: $48,710 (not including Green Party
Card, Green Party Card: $72)

Projected Sustainer Income year to date: $2,040

Prospecting: The total for one time donations includes 7 new donors for
a total of $635 that were the result of 445 personalized prospect
letters. A 1.6% return rate.

Merchandise:
5/9/2009: I tabled at the Annual Assembly of the Maryland Green Party
for a gross income of $111.25
5/30/2009: I sold merchandise at the Green Party of Virginia meeting in
Falls Church for a gross income of $75

9) Issues
2/27/2009: I attended the USBIG Conference in New York City which took
place Feb 27 – Mar. 1. (US Basic Income Guarantee Network
http://www.usbig.net/)

The USBIG Conference was hosted as part of a larger conference of the
Eastern Economic Association which took place at the NYC Sheraton.
2/28/2009: I participated in a Roundtable discussion: Campaigning for
Basic Income moderated by Steven Shafarman (DC Statehood Green). Other
participants included Jesse Johnson (Mountain Party of West Virginia),
Dan O’Sullivan from the Change to Win Coalition of unions and Al
Sheehan, co-author of “The Tax Cut for the Rest of Us” Bill (he had
worked with Joel Segal, legislative aide to John Conyers).

I mentioned that we support steady state economics and not growth
economics. I pointed out that one of the planks in our platform is a
Livable Income which directly supports a Basic Income Guarantee (Item
IV.D.1.). We have links to Income Security for All and USBIG on the
homepage of our website. I indicated the need for issue papers (as
approved by the NC) for adoption by our candidates. Running candidates
can be an effective way to introduce issues and to foster discussion.

Greens are champions of re-establishing the Public Commons. I gave two
examples. The role of the Green Party of Seattle in heading off the
clearcut of the Cedar River Watershed (where Seattle and surrounding
areas get there drinking water) and the efforts of green officeholders
Jim Harvey and Paul Perkovic of the Montara Water and Sanitary District
in San Mateo California to buy back the privatized water supply and
re-establish it in the public domain. I also talked about our Move the
Money to Main Street campaign.
I commended Gary Flomenfoht’s work in Burlington Vermont (Vermont Common
Assets Trust Fund) as the kind of project that Greens would be excited
to get involved with.

Later, I got a lot of positive feedback by those attending the
Roundtable Discussion. Attendees were very happy to see the Green Party
represented at the Conference.

6/18/2009: I participated in a one hour phone conference/briefing that
was set up by Jon Olsen in regards to the impact of the Food Safety
Modernization Act (read power grab by Monsanto) and other bills coming
before congress that impact our Food Security.
