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

[Ben & Sue Emery]

I thought it was Funny and good use of dead pan humor. As the Green Party we DO NOT GET COVERAGE in the normal news cycle. Jill Stein had to spray paint heavy machinery at Standing Rock, to get any mention of her support for the Water Protectors. We all know that the spray paint was going to chip off the first time it is used in any capacity. But it was a Green Party Stunt. 
Bernie, if anyone cares, got TV time when a little bird flew onto his Podium. It was the best press he got his entire election. 
Ben Emery had a press release in 2010 that said "Ben Emery Calls Tom McClintock a Carpet Bagger". Did Ben actually use those words, not exactly but Ben was the ONLY candidate that actually lived in the District, and he did say that. 
Drama works. 
I love British humor, It is SO HARD to run as a Green , lets all stick together and laugh when we can.  
And Yes there are 3 greens going to court against Monsanto this Thur at the Yolo County Court house, we could use support of any and all Greens that can make the 1 pm trial on the 5th floor, Dept 13, 1000 Main St, Woodland, Ca
In Solidarity,

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.
