Yes, they are OK, except that they are probably copyright Minoru and at the moment Minoru is unresponsive so we can't ask permission to use them. Thus I think they need to be re-written - but the intent is fine. Except that I would change all references to "health care" to just "health" or to "health and healthcare". "Health care" cause public health people like me minor discomfort. > 1) How do you determine "popular acclaim" vs. "elected"? Ask for self-nominations and messages of support, identified with a specific subject line, closing 1 week hence. The three with the most support messages win. Voting limited to current list subscribers. I suppose this would qualify as an election in most countries (sorry, when someone says "election" I think of compulsory voting by all enfranchised electors, which is the system we use for all governmental elections here in Australia). > 2) How is this any different from what I proposed? Not really. Sorry, my cable modem was fried last week by a lightning strike, and I am using very slow Web mail, which makes it difficult to check previous messages, in the meantime until I can locate a new modem.
