Proposed States' Rights Amendment:
Greetings all,
I have just received the URL for "Proposed States' Rights Amendment"
from USGW-CC-L.
http://www.geocities.com/usgenwebamend/index.html
For this amendment to appear on the 7/1/2000 ballot, at least one
XXGenWeb must approve it prior to midnight tomorrow night, 5/31/00 (any
time zone), and four more prior to 7/1/2000. I realize that time is
short for the states to act on this. I will be taking this to TNGenWeb
Project CCs for a vote.
Here is the very short synopsis of the proposed amendment.
BRIEF
All authority is vested at state (XXGenWeb) and local levels, including
Special Projects; all grievances handled at XXGenWeb and local level
only; prohibits national sanctions; does away with all national
positions other than a national webmaster and national special project
webmasters, each elected by the membership, and each with no authority
other than website maintenance; all national list managers (State-Coord,
USGW-CC-L, etc.) elected by subscribers; adds perpetual prohibition
against commercial activity.
