Council,On Feb. 12, as a GBGP representative on Council, I submitted a proposal to GPCO Co-chairs that listed Sally Hempy (who happens to be my wife) as a co-sponsor. Andrea responded, "Please send screen shots of the voter registration as Green for Tom Moore, Richard Clifford, Ron Forthover, and Sally Hempy."On March 11 Sally sent Andrea confirmation of her Green registration. Andrea sent a three word response. It wasn't, "Thank you, Sally". Her response was, "Stop contacting me." For the record, Sally had not contacted, or attempted to contact, Andrea for years.WTF? Is "Stop contacting me." an appropriate response by a Green co-chair to a constituent for providing information the co-chair requested?This is just one example of Andrea's rude retorts. Letters complaining about this behavior from several other people who have left GPCO are on file.I will report this to the forum moderator for further action - at least a letter of apology from Andrea.

Her last interaction with me a couple years ago was equally disrespectful, and I don't have to take it. I am not the "help."I prefer not to have her contact me, and because she is disrespectful, I have a right to insist on that.There will be no apology. No one in this party should be expected to submit themselves to bullying, attacks, surveillance or gaslighting. In this party, we behave in collaborative, peaceful and solutions-oriented ways, and I expect you to help members of your local be mindful of that.Please refocus yourself on the work that GBGP needs you to execute instead of looking for more ammunition against me personally. We all know you object to my presence in this party. Please refer to the bylaws if you need a refresher.Thank you.
Andrea, I will address this angry and profane letter at the May 13 GBGP chapter meeting and recommend the chapter take appropriate disciplinary action, including possible revocation of the member's right of participation, guided by bylaws section 3.3 on due process.
3.3 The right of participation of an individual in the Green Party of Colorado can be revoked by a Green local using its own criteria or by a 75% vote of the members at a Green Party of Colorado state meeting. Revocation of the rights of participation must be based on failure of the individual to adhere to the purpose and methods of the Green Party of Colorado. Any individual must be informed of the potential revocation of their rights of participation at least three weeks prior to the vote and have a chance to speak in his or her defense at the meeting when the vote is held.
Your complaint claims:
Sally Hempy has a track record of being abusive with members of this party.
Do you have any evidence of this track record, other than the incident with you, acting as forum administrator, on April 13, 2015?Due to my conflict of interest in this matter (I am Sally's husband) I will not be the facilitator for the proceedings and will not participate in the discussion other than to correct factual errors. Likewise, I will not participate in a vote on the matter if there is one.Please supply complete documentation of the your charges against Sally to GBGP at harryhempy@gmail.com by April 21, 2017. GBGP will notify Sally of the charges on April 22, three weeks before the meeting.
