Lew,
I just finished creating 8 mini-petitions. They contain your exact language proposed in most of them, with 2 or 3 having slightly varied language. There are two election reforms initiatives - one exactly as you wrote; a second one that is nearly identical but also calls for a on-line voting program thus totally eliminating any possibility that a candidate can collect ballots. With regards to the petition process, there is one that is identical to what you wrote, and there is an alternate that maintains the signature process as-is (we can raise the 100 to 250, 500, something reasonable, I’m OK with that) but also includes a perpetual ban on the USAT board from ever restricting, modifying or abolishing this important membership right.
Let’s work together and do this now! That way we can address your and Dan’s concerns regarding timing. Together, we can make this work for the USAT members. E-mail me and I’ll send you the drafts right now.
Hid - can you host these on your site like you kindly did for the Ironman training program?"
