The Proposed Agenda & Schedule for Continental Congress 2.0 issued Monday of this week states that on Wednesday, 4 July (after the 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. ‘Motions to Amend, Merge or Add Grievances’ sessions) that:
“The Drafting Committee will be responsible for making the required amendments, mergers and additions before the final Petition is served upon the government prior to the 2012 general election”.
This matter of when specifically will the Final Petition be served upon the government prior to the 2012 general election was one of my comments I made yesterday to the SC on the Proposed Agenda & Schedule. Here is what I wrote in my comment: “Listed below is a partial email from Nancy Marcus Newman dated 10 Febraury 2012. Please refer to her statements under the heading labeled ‘PROPOSAL TO AMEND MILESTONE DATES’. Please announce to all delegates and include on the Agenda sheet that a follow up Redress of Grievances Ratification Convention, at a location and date to be determined, will be held either Labor Day Weekend – the 1st and 2nd, or 2nd and 3rd of September, or the weekend prior to serving the Petition as laid out below, on September 15th and 16th. The delegates will decide during the 2-4 July 2012 CC2.0”.

Dedicated Candidates for Delegate to the National General Assembly of the 99%,
I am Co-Chair of Delegate Outreach for the 99% Declaration Facilitation Committee. The 99% Declaration organization facilitating the election of Delegates and planning for the July National General Assembly is presently in transition, our public statement relating thereto is below.

PROPOSAL TO AMEND MILESTONE DATES:
The Volunteers on the Facilitation Team and Board of the 99% Declaration have been working diligently to create the educational and outreach mechanisms and grass roots interactive systems needed for development of the Petition for Redress of Grievances.
We believe at this point that more time is needed to allow the Delegate Candidates to connect with their constituents and interact with them in a meaningful way, so that any Petition for Redress ratified by the Delegates to the NGA truly reflects the voice of the people.
To enable meaningful communication among Delegates and their constituents, we will be facilitating Town Meetings, Delegate Forums, etc
To allow for community-based direct participation of citizens in the development of the Declaration and Petition
To permit sufficient time for the process of registering enough candidates and voters, promoting candidate/constituent interaction prior to the election of delegates
To provide ample time for the final formulation of Points for Redress, we propose the following:
+Convene a Kick-off Celebration for the opening of voting during the week of July 4, 2012 in the City of Philadelphia.
+Hold a rally and march in Philadelphia with speakers and state representatives of participants in 99% Declaration from across the country.
+Hold Town Meetings on July 4, 2012 across the nation, to be simulcast via livestream to a Central Coordination Center in Philadelphia.
+Discussion, debate and preparation of Points for the Petition through an ongoing Town Meeting structure.
+Elections and facilitated Town Meetings to continue through the week and weekend of July 4-8, 2012.
+Following intensive interaction between Delegates and their constituents, as well as constant communication and collaboration among the Delegates themselves, all elected Delegates convene at a Ratification Convention, at a location and date, yet to be determined. The Petition for Redress of Grievances is ratified on behalf of the Ninety-Nine Percent.
+The best possible dates for the ratification that we can determine, would be either Labor Day Weekend – the 1st and 2nd, or 2nd and 3rd of September, or the weekend prior to serving the Petition as laid out below, on September 15th and 16th. The delegates will decide.
+September 17, 2012, (The 225th anniversary of ratification of the Constitution and One Year Anniversary of the birth of the Occupy Movement): Delegates assemble in Constitutional Gardens, on the National Mall and march to serve the 99% Declaration Petition for Redress of Grievances upon the White House, both Houses of Congress, and the United States Supreme Court.

I’m not sure what proportion of the 787 elected/invited delegates are aware that our upcoming nominated Drafting Committee will be busy this Summer and Fall making the required amendments, mergers and additions before the actual/Final Petition is served upon the government prior to the 2012 general election. I’m also not sure if all the planned activities stated by Nancy Marcus Newman in her February 2012 email are pertintent or apply today, but all this is new to me and I wish I had known this ‘plan’ months ago.
So, it appears (and I am quoting Nancy Marcus Newman) that the 2-4 July 2012 CC2.0 is really just a “Discussion, debate and preparation of Points for the Petition through an ongoing Town Meeting structure”.
And so……………it sure looks like it will be a busy Summer/Fall for the Drafting Committee, and if indeed a follow up Redress of Grievances Ratification Convention will be held in September or thereabouts, we better get our personal budgets in order and monetary donations ready to launch.
Plenty of time to contact the Media, etc.
