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.)
