MemberDISAGREE. I fully back Joseph Scardetta's and Jason Justice's statements. This proposal seems to be a case of the white privileged members of this party to take their frustration out on Andrea for the recall and resignation of Bill Bartlett, whose recall I fully supported. Andrea is extremely important to the future of the Green Party in Colorado, and I find this proposal ridiculous if not childish, and a waste of time. Angela Humphrey Denver Green Party

MemberSTRONGLY AGREEIt seems that Mr. Bartlett holds the notion that "reverse racism" is a thing, according to some facebook posts that I have seen. There is no room in the Green Party for white supremacist words or behavior, most especially from someone in a position of leadership. Also, what has Bill Bartlett done for the Green Party lately? Does he roll up his sleeves and talk to the people, all people no matter what race or class? Is he a strong organizer? Does he show true dedication to the people, or is he content to be just a figure head? I don't know the answer to these questions, but it does seem that he hasn't done much to contribute as the state co-chair. I believe the position would be better filled by someone one dedicated to working hard, serving the community, fighting racism and white supremacy, sexism, classism, and gender bias, and also someone who understands intersectionality and is willing to humble him, her or themself in order to be an effective leader. If Mr. Bartlett doesn't check off on these categories, which I don't believe he does, than the answer is to recall.Thank you for the opportunity to cast a vote and speak my voice.
