Re: [atlarge-discuss] The VOTE on the Polling Commission
Jeff,
Don't deviate the topic, all the members are hoping you respond some of the
questions that you have never responded. It is not necessary that reminds
them to you, truth?.
The time won't help you. Your you play to leave in the forgetfulness the
things and to see if they can make a re-entered victorious to the lists and
organizations that point has harmed. But I will be here, and every time that
you intervene and try to lie to the members, I will remind you all the
questions that you have not responded and all the accusations that you have
not denied.
cordially,
Mauro. -

[ES] No desvíes el tema, todos los miembros están esperando que tú respondas
algunas de las cuestiones que jamás has respondido. No hace falta que te las
recuerde, verdad?.
El tiempo no te va a ayudar. Tu juegas a dejar en el olvido las cosas y ver
si pueden hacer un re-entrada triunfal a las listas y organizaciones que
tanto has perjudicado. Pero yo voy a estar aquí, y cada vez que intervengas
e intentes mentirle a los miembros, yo te recordaré todas las preguntas que
no has respondido y todas las acusaciones que no has desmentido.
cordialmente,
Mauro.-

Mauro and all fellow members,
Direct democracy in an organization as small as this fledgling
organization is very possible and in practiced in many many
other companies via stock holder votes voting their shares,
in non-profit organizations in many countries. INEGroup
has quite a few more members, although still small, practices
direct democracy or votes on any and all referendums
being considered as policies as well as all bylaw changes
or considerations. In some states in the US, public interest
organizations are required by law to provide for a membership
that has such voting requirements.
In California, any referendum with a predetermined number
of citizens as registered voters, have a number of times
exercised their right to vote specific laws and propositions
into law, such as for example Proposition 13 a number of
years ago. Better than half of the states in the US
have similar rights as citizens. Can this tiny organization
not provide for that same right or opportunity?
