Members of the California Green Party CC:

As a member of the Green Party in Vermont I hope you will vote to hold
the special general assembly so the Green Party in California can decide
whether or not to place Nader/Camejo on the ballot in California. This
vote of the CC has special urgency in view of the undemocratic process at
the Green Party national convention and in view of the undemocratic
actions by the Democratic Party to keep Nader off the ballot as an
independent candidate. The CC of the Green Party of California can assert
the primacy of democracy, set an example of democracy, and build support
for the candidate supported by an overwhelming majority of Greens by
voting to hold this special general assembly in California. It can help
restore democracy within the Green Party. It can help counter the efforts
of the Democratic Party to deny Californians and all Americans the right
to vote for the candidate of their choice.

Our Vermont Green Party Steering Committee will be voting on Tuesday as
to whether to propose to our statewide meeting (that is already scheduled
for September 11) that we put Nader/Camejo on our ballot line in Vermont.
We are looking to you for leadership on this key issue. I hope you will
vote YES to the proposal (see below) to hold the special general assembly
in California. Thank you for your careful consideration of this important
matter.

----------
PROPOSAL TO HOLD A SPECIAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO PUT NADER/CAMEJO ON THE
GREEN PARTY BALLOT IN CALIFORNIA

Whereas:

1. A grossly undemocratic process was used at the national convention of
the US Green Party, as described in the article, "Rigged Convention
Divides Green Party," by Carol Miller and Forrest Hill (see
www.greensfornader.net);

2 Each state Green Party should have the right to nominate candidates
supported by a majority of its members because the results of the
national Green Party Convention do not represent the views of a majority
of Greens in California, indeed, they represent the views of a small
minority;

3. An overwhelming majority of Greens in the United States and
California support the presidential ticket of Ralph Nader and Peter
Miguel Camejo;

4. The Democratic Party has devoted huge resources to harass canvassers,
to keep Nader/Camejo off the ballot in California

5. Ralph Nader would hold fundraisers to support local candidates if
nominated by the Green Party of California,.

6. Nader and Camejo are the only candidates supporting Green values that
have a chance of getting in the national televised debates.

7. The Green Party of California is a recognized Party in California and
has a ballot line;

Therefore be it resolved that:

We the undersign urge the Coordinating Committee of the Green Party of
California to show leadership and hold a Special General Assembly too
place Ralph Nader on the California state ballot for President of the
United States and Peter Miguel Camejo on the California state ballot for
Vice President of the United States.
