>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/21/04 3:07 AM >>> I think if you really wanted to take over the state, you'd be better off with a state-wide IRV campaign. Probably equally doomed, but at least the interim incentives would make more sense: you'd build up an organization outside their grasp that could affect the media and politics independently. This is basically how people passed the term-limits laws. IRV would be more useful: it would really allow you to develop small principled parties that could grow until they won, and which would have an effect on the political discourse from the beginning.

term limits 'movement' movers & shakers were closely associated with rep party, have read that modern-era notion (term limits idea has long history, pre-american revolution colonial and early republican-era u.s. state legislatures were commonly term limited) was hatched by paul weyrich and his free congress committee or foundation or whatever its called, number of term limits orgs were republican front groups... while '95 u.s. supreme court decision stating that limits for congress could only be imposed via u.s. constitutional amendment, not by individual states upon their own delegations, doesn't seem coincidence that wind began running out of term limits sails when rep party gained controlled of congress... michael hoover -------------------------------------------------------------- Please Note: Due to Florida's very broad public records law, most written communications to or from College employees regarding College business are public records, available to the public and media upon request.
