Friends,

The Platform Committee is now receiving amendments to the platform.  Our
schedule calls for soliciting amendments from December first to February
fifteenth.  States and Caucuses are eligible to submit amendments.  They
will be edited by the Platform Committee and posted online in a rough draft
form on March sixteenth with feedback requested from the states and
caucuses.  New amendments will be accepted through April fifteenth.

Please confer with your state and/or caucus regarding amendments which you
feel are necessary to update the platform.  We request that amendments be as
short and succinct as possible.  The following information is needed:

1. Platform chapter, number and letter to be amended or replaced.

2. Language to be amended or replaced.

3. New replacement language.  Please state if this is a new plank.

4. Contact information and name of state party or caucus that approved
submission

Please send your amendments to platformamendments at gp.org.

The timeline for amending the platform is supplied for your information.
