Platform happenings

Well well...after a marathon 4+ hour session in room C3/4 of the San Jose Convention Center, we have a working platform draft that will apparently be up for more discussion Saturday night.

You may be interested in hearing what happened on the more controversial issues:

Death penalty: All motions tabled pending completion of a questionnaire.  Every delegate has a "death penalty questionnaire" in the convention bag.  When the results of the survey are finally tabulated, we'll have some sort of consensus for moving forward.

Assisted suicide: Untouched by consent of everyone involved.

Single Payer: Publicly funded, privately delivered.

Any other questions, please put them in the comments.  As soon as I get a full draft of everything I'll post it for your review (provided it's not in a PDF).
