Art, Thank you for your detailed comments. You have brought up some great points and given me a lot to think about. You know the history of the GPCO a lot better than I do and I trust the knowledge that you have gathered through your experience with the party. I am really starting to understand your arguments for an emphasis on winning elections by strengthening the locals. As for the restructuring, I would like to leave the council intact but work on some modifications so it doesn't burden the locals. Perhaps we could work on some proposals to address these issues to vote on at the State Meeting. Before now, I had it in my mind that the state party would be the best entity to encourage growth across the state and support the locals. Now I am starting to see that the locals themselves are the best entity for this task, at least for now. I realized that instead of relying on the state party to provide resources, locals could work together at their discretion to pool their resources. I still think the state party should have the functions of ensuring that legal requirements are met, planning the state meetings, maintaining a website, and maintain Council.As for my long post, I felt that the length was necessary considering the that the subject is very open ended. I rarely write long posts because I know they take a long time to read and they take an even longer time to write. My initial post on this topic was long because I had a lot to say and I felt that it would be far easier on both the readers and me if I wrote my opening thoughts in a well planned essay. It would have been much messier if I posted it one thought at a time.
