While I fully support endorsing the May Day Parade I believe that things of this nature need to be decided upon by the group. Avoiding decision making processes, even for projects that we may support, is a slippery slope to possible decisions being made that the group does not support. I understand that there may have been a time crunch, but we should collectively be making decisions <i>unless we have collectively empowered someone to do so</i>. Many of us may be familiar with May Day but there are also many folks who may not be as familiar with the day and its significance. It is the responsibility of those of us who do know to ensure that we're not alienating others in our group.<br>
<br>This isn't an email out of anger or spite (I know emails can be hard to read sometimes) but rather out of concern for the processes that we've already decided upon.<br><br> I'd personally move to remain an endorser of the May Day Parade with a possible review by the group of the description placed on the page unless there is a blocking concern. I hope that everyone will take it upon themselves to work towards collective decision making and I think that this discussion should be a part of the longer conversation of our organization.<br>

I however didn't realize our whole description and statement would be published on the site.....haha. Here is a link so people can look it over, if anyone has problems I'm sure Kenny would have no problem changing it. Sorry for the quick decision on my part.....Just let me know if ya don't dig it. - Nathan<br>
