[GPCA-SGA-Votes] Green Party Sex Tape video

[Mike Yasmer]

Well said,  and I completely agree.  I was never completely sold on the Green Party,  and this may push me out.

Dear SGA delegates

I am very disturbed by the Green Party Sex Tape video (https://youtu.be/dxhUS-QQPbg) created and posted by Gubernatorial candidate Josh Jones. Ifind the video offensive and an example of extremely poor judgment by someoneseeking to represent our party as a candidate for our state’s highest office.

I was first introduced face to face with the Green Party atthe August 2016 Green Party national convention in Houston, which I attended asan interested observer, after being turned off by the Democratic Party (as aBerniecrat delegate at the Democratic National Convention a week earlier.)

At the GPUS convention, I met David Cobb, Laura Wells, MikeFeinstein, Jill Stein, Ajamu Baraka, Cornel West (when things looked like hemight Go Green) and Luis Rodriguez (the GPCA's 2014 Gubernatorial candidate).Based upon those interactions, I was impressed by the Green Party, effectivelygoing Green the following month. Since then, I have learned a lot about theGreen Party and its inner workings. I love how there is a high value oninternal democracy. And I love the GPCA and GPUS platforms – solid.

But I have to say that if I would have come across this JoshJones Sex Tape video in 2016 prior to attending the Green Party convention, Iwould have not given the Green Party a chance at all. The concept and contentis immature and damaging to our party.  A more thoughtful treatment couldhave been a great PSA moment.  Instead it is an embarrassment, plain andsimple.

Given this, for anyone seeking our party’s endorsement, Ithink the video should be deleted from YouTube. But at a minimum, if thisembarrassment is to remain on-line, the use of the words “Green Party” shouldbe removed from the video's title. No one in our party has the right to postsomething like that, misrepresenting our party’s name in that manner.





Disappointed in Los Angeles,
