Re: [ga] Outreach - Stop Selective Censorship before it starts...

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Eric and all assembly members,

  I know that the best way to attract members is with the truth
just like turth in advertising works so does it when looking for members.
Second, we should not be looking for "Special" members but any and
all interested parties, the good, the bad, and the ugly, to barrow a
phrase...  This gives the GA a good cross section of REAL
stakeholders by which REAL policy making can flourish..
  Third, as many here might remember that have been several efforts
in outreach before for the GA and they have been thwarted by various
forms of SELECTIVE CENSORSHIP.  This is of course wrong
headed in any of it's disgusting forms...
