Gail -
Joe Dehn created a great one line summary for each proposed by-law change.
I encourage Joe to post it in this group email.
Most of the people here have probably already seen it because I sent it to
all our members in Santa Clara County as well as posting it on Facebook (in
the "Libertarians in California" group). But for anybody who hasn't seen
it, here it is again:
