June 2004 GPCA Plenary June 5-6, 2004 Sacramento City College, Sacramento, CA Saturday Morning - 6/5/04 Delegate Orientation Ellen Maisen: Review of consensus-seeking process Reminder of why we seek consensus vs. simply voting: Voting creates factions, while consensus builds community spirit. Facilitators: Magali Offerman, Jim Shannon Notes: Adrienne Prince and Don Eichelberger (alt.) Vibes: Leslie Dinkin, Don Eichelberger Time Keeper: Ed Duliba Confirming of Agenda Ratification of minutes, discussion of electoral reform, and platform plank have all been moved to Sunday. Time-sensitive agenda items were given priority. Consent Calendar Jo Chamberlain, SMC: Media bylaws concerns will also be discussed Sunday a.m. Clarification on “point of process” for Consent Calendar: when concerns are brought up, the item in question becomes dropped from the calendar and can be brought up for discussion and voting later in the plenary as time allows. I. GPUS Post-First-Round Ballot Voting Instructions Proposal - Nanette Pratini, Jonathan Lundell, Jim Stauffer Regarding convention delegate voting procedure: “If a delegate’s assigned candidate withdraws from the race or if subsequent votes are required…delegates will vote using their best judgment…as to what the voters who selected their assigned candidate would choose.” Floor rules in process of being approved by national CC. Will be conducted as a series of rounds, announced state by state. For first round, delegates are tied to the candidates as represented in the primary. If someone wins and does not want to accept the vote, subsequent rounds will vote. If a willing candidate gets a majority, they will be nominated, If “no candidate” (an option) wins, there will be an IRV election for an endorsement instead of a nomination.

Activist Literacy and Dr. Jill Stein's 2012 Green Party Campaign
45 Recognizing the Rhetorics of Feminist Action: Activist Literacy and Dr. Jill Stein’s 2012 Green Party Campaign Virginia Crisco Abstract: Scholars such as Nancy Welch and Susan Jarratt argue that Neoliberalism shapes how everyday citizens are able to take action. Using what Jacquelyn Jones Royster and Gesa Kirsch call “social circulation,” I analyze how Dr. Jill Stein, the presidential candidate for the Green Party in 2012, used “whatever spaces are left” to challenge the dominant two party system, particularly in relation to the pres- idential debates. I argue that Stein demonstrates an activist literacy disposition that positions her to use the spaces, the literate and rhetorical means, and oppor- tunities for storytelling to foster social action in our neoliberal climate. Keywords: neoliberalism, social circulation, activist literacy, third party politics In Living Room: Teaching Public Writing in a Privatized World, Nancy Welch argues that neoliberalism has changed not only the topics available for public discussion in the pursuit of making socio-political change, but the venues for having those discussions, as they have also become increasingly privatized. As an example, Welch refects on her experiences advocating for her husband’s health care to their insurance company. She describes the multiple letters she had gotten from her insurance company saying their appeal for his care had been denied, using the same phrases again and again, as if her carefully re- searched and rhetorical letters were not even being read. This leads Welch to question the amount of power we as teachers and scholars of writing give to language and rhetoric: These are rhetorical strategies that, mostly in the abstract, have given me comfort – comfort in the belief that I really can wield power in language, that I can empower my students, particularly those subor- dinate by gender, race, sexuality, and class, to do the same.

2010 Green Party Platform
Platform 2010 Green Party of the United States As Adopted by the Green National Committee September 2010 About the Green Party The Green Party of the United States is a federation of state Green Parties. Committed to environmentalism, non-violence, social justice and grassroots organizing, Greens are renewing democracy without the support of corporate donors. Greens provide real solutions for real problems. Whether the issue is universal health care, corporate globalization, alternative energy, election reform or decent, living wages for workers, Greens have the courage and independence necessary to take on the powerful corporate interests. The Federal Elec - tions Commission recognizes the Green Party of the United States as the official Green Party National Com - mittee. We are partners with the European Federation of Green Parties and the Federation of Green Parties of the Americas. The Green Party of the United States was formed in 2001 from of the older Association of State Green Parties (1996-2001). Our initial goal was to help existing state parties grow and to promote the formation of parties in all 51 states and colonies. Helping state parties is still our primary goal. As the Green Party National Com - mittee we will devote our attention to establishing a national Green presence in politics and policy debate while continuing to facilitate party growth and action at the state and local level. Green Party growth has been rapid since our founding and Green candidates are winning elections through - out the United States. State party membership has more than doubled. At the 2000 Presidential Nominating Convention we nominated Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke for our Presidential ticket.

Federal Elections 2004
2004 ELECTION RESULTS The following four sections present the primary, runoff and general election results for the U.S. Presidential and U.S. Congressional elections held in 2004. The November 2004 general election (and Louisiana’s December 2004 runoff election) resulted in the election of the 109th Congress. The following is the party composition of the 109th Congress, as determined by the results of these elections: U.S. Senate Republicans: 55 Democrats: 44 Independents: 1 U.S. House of Representatives Republicans: 232 Democrats: 202 Independents: 1 Notes on Charts * Runoff election vote totals have been included with the primary election totals. (For the U.S. Senate, runoff elections were held in Georgia and South Carolina. For the U.S. House of Representatives, runoff elections were held in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas.) For Louisiana, runoff election vote totals have been included with the general election totals. The following three situations account for blank spaces in the charts and should be considered when making comparisons or drawing conclusions about the vote totals. * In some states, i.e., Connecticut, Utah and Virginia, political parties may nominate general election candidates by party convention, rather than by primary election. * In some states, there were unopposed candidates whose names did not appear on a ballot and therefore received no votes. * 34 states had regularly scheduled U.S. Senate elections in 2004. 2004 PRESIDENTIAL POPULAR VOTE SUMMARY FOR ALL CANDIDATES LISTED ON AT LEAST ONE STATE BALLOT Candidate (Party Label) Popular Vote Total Percent of Popular Vote George W.
