Hello,
My name is Stefan Potter and I am a delegate candidate from Michigan. In the past week there has been a lot of changes to this movement some good and some bad. Now I have been a supporter of MP from the start and I for one am very happy with what he has done for the movement so far. That being said it was the way this last transition happened and the new censorship on the facebook page that has me a bit concerned. Now, I understand that there is a time and place for some things to be discussed especially when they are negative. So, I propose that all negative facebook post be copied and moved to the forum before their deletion. This will still allow for everyone to have a voice, because isn't that what this is all about the 99% having a voice? If we cannot give voice to the 99% in our own group how can we expect 99% of America to let us represent their voice.
Another thought that I had was regarding the people concerned with MP stepping down from control and handing the movement over to the delegates when the time comes. I for one believe that this will happen without a problem, but I have seen many posts saying that this is a concern. Maybe, one solution is to get something typed up and signed by MP stating that he will still facilitate the movement but not run it and leave that up to the delegates. This will hopefully help close the rift that has formed between the different parties in the group and show an act of good faith to heal this movement.
To all who make comments on this thread I ask the there is no swearing. This is because I would like to hear everyone's voice and learn what others are thinking.
Thank you for your time.
Stefan Potter
