Last Month Minutes 

You have to be a member for 56 days before the next meeting to vote. 

Aug 28th was the cut-off to vote tonight. 


ENDORSEMENT SEASON IS HERE!

If you have been a member in good standing for at least 56 days come vote for the Proposed Consent Calendar.

Per our BYLAWS:  We are hereby posting our Consent Calendar to be voted on at the next meeting.  There are links to each candidate's web-page where you can read more about them.

Page Consent Calendar: A consent calendar may be used at the discretion of the Political Vice-President. In those cases in which a Consent Calendar is utilized, it shall be the goal of This Club that the Consent Calendar shall be developed and distributed to the Steering Committee, and publicly posted via electronic means, at the earliest opportunity and in no event later than 7 days prior to each General Membership Meeting, absent an Interview Committee intending to consider making a recommendation within that time period, in which case it shall be noted that said race is subject to possible consideration at said meeting; and further, that a printed Consent Calendar be available at the meeting at which the race is considered.

Per our Bylaws, this Consent Calendar has been circulated to the Steering Committee for their review.  Each of the candidate's names has a link to that candidate's web-site.   Please remember that endorsements have a very limited significance.  It means that this is the right candidate at this time for this office.  There may be things that you disagree with as to a proposed candidate, but be sure to ask the important question, if not the one recommended, then who is your alternative.  Without a viable alternative, objecting to those candidates on the consent Calendar during the General Meeting and asking that they be pulled from consent may do little to stop the endorsement, and not curry any favor in the future with these candidates when it comes time to when we want to call on them to advocate for our causes.  
Note:  When placed on the consent calendar, after an opportunity to sever races has been given as set-forth hereinbelow, all candidates remaining on the consent calendar shall be voted on in a single motion.  Severance from Consent Calendar: Recommendations may be severed from the consent calendar upon objection of any member, concurred in by nine (9) concurring members of Stonewall Democratic Club who are eligible to vote on endorsements. The objecting member shall have a right to make up to a one (1) minute explanation of the reason for the pull prior to determination of whether or not there are sufficient concurring members.
