Yes, Thinking about it, up to this moment, I am thinking that the
platform committee should be a perminit committee that operates all during the
year and is handed of to replacement members as things progress. The
platform commitee should operate with the candidates after the convention and
keep improving the platform based upon the anlysis of each election
cycle. At this point it's a shooting in the dark, there needs to be
continuty and the platform committee could be one of the factors that's leaving
some of the leadership vaccume in the LPCO. Does the bored wish to
keep their humbs on the whole activity of the LPCO or is the Platform committee
offer some element of competition that is lacking within the LPCO, manifesting
as stagmation. If that issue come out to be of that caliber,
then several thousnd extra could be produced and used as outreach
material.

Thank you, Steve. (& I overaddressed
these addresses only because I'm a computer half-lit. & hope to
learn how to use Paul's horrid-wretched other chat-sites by
tomorrow.)
So this means that there
has been no COLP Platform since the dinosaurs? So how're we going to
right all wrongs in 6 weeks? We're not - MAYBE in 6 months with intense
study. I've been studying various philosophy for 40 years; the LP has
been around for over 30 & is pretty well getting the Nat'l
Platform readable by common movie-goers.
By JV's next "CO
Lib" issue, we can probably come up with a good challenge to fascist
parties - but only if it goes out to the general public. Of
course the party publication only goes out to the paying
choir.

Gregg,
There presently is no LPCO platform.
The LPCO's Bylaws (Article VI--Convention Committees) and Constitution
(Article XI--Platform) specify the procedure to be followed for the
development and adoption of a platform by and for the LPCO, but those
provisions have apparently have never been exercised. (Although, I
recall that David Bryant mentioned that some work on a platform for the LPCO
was done several years ago, but he didn't have any written records of what
that work was.)
