Produced by The Bay Area Council

Here we see a polished video produced by an organization that is funded by...  well, have a look at who is on the Board of Directors of BAC.  Do you see any Public Interest Groups?  No.  So what are our goals in competition to their goals?  Will they endorse us?

[ Elected Motivated Delegates, Open Participation, Protected Democracy,Put Everything on the Table with a Full Scope Review, Draw from the best Experts & Special Issue Proponents/Opponents, but fair votes on each matter by our Elected Delegates ]  

vs.  

[ Selected Appointed Delegates, Limited Participation, Non-Democratic Proprietary Agenda, Limited Scope with "hands off" Protected Parts of the Constitution (?) and other restrictions that appear to be issues based ] 

The LA Times published that the Bay Area Council is behind another Group "Repair California" as well.  Regardless, the video captures the need for a comprehensive approach.  But if a comprehensive approach is in order, why limit the scope of the Convention?  One thing that is clear is a deep reluctance by Corporate Citizens to allow Election of Delegates, and market rate compensation to our Elected Delegates.  Why would Corporations that routinely deduct the market rate cost of professional services from their Corporate Taxes, want to deny market rate compensation to serious people elected to serve California in possibly the most important service work to our State?

There are other groups all hard at work on discussions and deliberation over scope, delegate selection, and issues allowed.  What is wrong with addressing all our issues at one Convention, with Elected Delegates, sequestered from all Lobbyists?
