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?
