Subject: USGenWeb Project Votes!
Dear State Coordinator,
We are writing to you because we need your help.
Who are we? What do we want? Please take the time
to read and consider the following message.....
A group of concerned County Coordinators (CCs) are
organizing the USGenWeb Project Votes! as an effort to
educate and motivate the CCs of The USGenWeb Project to
become more involved in the business affairs of the
Project by fully participating in its national elections.
USGenWeb Project Votes! will have no formal affiliation
with either the Advisory Board or the Election Committee.
We do not envision any conflict with the Election
Committee as their mandate is to conduct the USGenWeb
elections. Our goal is to encourage our fellow CCs to
get to the polls by providing them with information
about the candidates and issues so they WANT to vote and
can leave the voting booth knowing they have made an
informed decision regarding the future of The USGenWeb
Project.
To achieve our goal we have a website which stresses why it
is important for each CC to vote with links to the EC's
pages. We plan to provide profiles of candidates' views on
issues currently before the Advisory Board, issues of
concern to the CCs, and (where applicable) add the voting
records of those candidates who have previously served in a
national office. We also plan to conduct opinion polls and
will use message boards and other applications of electronic
media to get our message out.
Turning this effort into reality requires volunteers who are
like-minded, motivated, and willing to work to achieve our
goals. Not having access to official mailing lists, we
ask your assistance in getting our message out to the CCs
in your state. Will you please post this message, or a
similar one, on your State list to inform your CCs what
we are doing and our call for volunteers to help us achieve
our goal?
Those interested may volunteer or join us at
http://usgwp.org/
If you need more information or have questions, please
contact me.
Thank you for your assistance.
