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

[Jeff Lebow]

Mike, 
The Green Party has well stated values and if you share those values, you are a Green. I hope you consider the values of competing parties before you abandon our Party and our values. One candidate who uses poor judgement does not invalidate the entire party.

I find the video offensive and an example of extremely poor judgment by someone seeking to represent our party as a candidate for our state’s highest office.

Based upon those interactions, I was impressed by the Green Party, effectively going Green the following month. Since then, I have learned a lot about the Green Party and its inner workings. I love how there is a high value on internal democracy. And I love the GPCA and GPUS platforms – solid.

The concept and content is immature and damaging to our party.  A more thoughtful treatment could have been a great PSA moment.  Instead it is an embarrassment, plain and simple.

But at a minimum, if this embarrassment is to remain on-line, the use of the words “Green Party” should be removed from the video's title. No one in our party has the right to post something like that, misrepresenting our party’s name in that manner.
