<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Ye<font size="2">s, James, I am very familiar with the CFAR, as I am a signer of that contract. I believe the theory behind that contract is that all of the agenda items are non-partisan and supported by a majority of voters. I agree with everything you're saying about the CFAR missing improving third party access and making our own version for non-Green endorsement, and I'm 99% sure that the 4 non-Greens that we did endorse would support that agenda item. I also think the majority of voters support greater third party access, but I believe the creators deliberately wanted it non-partisan. I had no problem agreeing to sign it, since the items on it (ending the war in Afghanistan, universal health, tuition-free college) are all things I'm fighting for anyway. <br>
