Re: [ga] Ballot question

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

Eric and all assembly members,

  I believe that it is proper and reasonable to wait for a ballot as
Danny, our elected chair has requested and others, including
myself have suggested.  Ergo, your attempt here Eric, although
well meaning and possible laudable is a bit premature and in
direct conflict with the current procedure.  Therefore I
do abstain from THIS Poll to which you suggest here...
