Re: [ga] Amended Ballot

interesting logic here...

it would sound that we are now extending the "use" logic to open this up for

what an outreach potential & problem..... (400,000,000 potential members)

i am still having problems with the current proposals i have seen
understanding how the invididual constituancy proposes to "reach out" far
enough to be truly "representative"
