Talk:Toward Truer Representation Of The 4th District Constituency: Iraq

Template: Talk Preview

Alternative Candidates
Representative Price harps on "Unity' as a key to his position in Iraq. It is still not clear on what exactly he means by this.  One meaning could be "Unity" as in maintaing him as the "one" that represents the 4th District.  Alternatively, it is hard to believe that he is refering to "unity" with the criminality that has been exhibited by the opposition party and the majority of Democrats who initially supported the war and continue to support the occupation.

Fielding an alternative candidate in the primaries would not be a sign of fissure within the district Democrats. Instead, it would be a time for democratic accountability. There is no other event that holds a representative directly accountable to his constituency in U.S. representative democracy then election time. --Sammy 04:11, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Tamara's Punch list
I have worked on or put into the wiki items 1, 2, and 3 of Tamara's list. Please help us develop these further.

Devin, please consider the wiki site a repository of local information to use as content for the site that we are developing.

Tamara, consider me to have taken up #1 and #3. I know that it is not complete so I would greatly appreciate if anyone who gets this message can help with any gaps that I may have. thanks for the punch lis Tamara!

From Tamara's Punch List, here are the details of what I have done so far, I have provided links for others to follow and see and contribute further:

1. price time line on the war

I have begun a timeline on the war that begins in August only. Please add in any information that you may have for previous dates (i.E. the sit-in that happened in Price's office before the voting on the war)

Please help me with it at: http://grassroots.wikicities.com/wiki/Template:Price%27s_Stand_on_Withdrawing_From_Iraq

2. price/miller resolution: strengths and weaknesses

If someone would like to develop this further than I already have then please go to:

http://grassroots.wikicities.com/wiki/H.J._Res._70:_NC%2C_4th_Congressional_District%27s_Stand

I have created two headers under which 'strengths' and 'weaknesses' can be put.

3. other legislation

Under 'Ongoing Action' I have been working on Legislation. So far I have listed H.R. 55, H.J. 70, H.J. Res 73 and 'McGovern's resolution. I have made links and pages for H.R. 55 and H.J. 70. Please look at these if you want a model to initiate/develop links to Res 73 and McGoverns res. I have already linked to a blank page for Res. 73. To add contents to this page then follow the link and write in the edit box. if you are stumped and have questions on how to edit in the wiki : please don't hesitate to ask me!!! For the McGovern Resolution, I don't know what the actual name of the resolution is. If anyone can find this out then please replace 'Mcgovern resolution with : name of resolution here. By putting it between two brackets you will create a link to a new page where content about that resolution can be put.

4. NC's burden of the war: lives and dollars 5. Position paper to steer discussion: CHECK from Ms. Rose 6. Upcoming local and national actions 7. Calender of events 8. ???

For the remaining items please feel free to develop them on the wiki. You can go to:

http://grassroots.wikicities.com/wiki/Toward_Truer_Representation_Of_The_4th_District_Constituency:_Iraq

and create a new header in the edit box ( i.e. =NC's burden of the war: lives and dollars= ). an equal sign on either side will make it a main heading. two equal signs on either side will make it a sub heading and so on...

Thanks,
