David, what got Mark Snyder and his pals in the Democratic Party so upset is
that my sign implies that the green party has a clear position against the
stadium. My sign says "No new stadium tax without a referendum!" and "Green
Party" under my name (in much smaller letters on the right margin).
How about this for a compromise: The Green Party leadership issues a public
statement saying that my stand against the stadium is incompatible with Green
Party membership, and expells me from the Green Party. Then I cover up "Green
Party." Is that a satisfactory proposal?
