Sorry, due to computer problems, I'm just now getting around to putting this up. Nothing fundamental has changed I just cleaned it up.
If we do go with this idea I believe we need to have a Censor elected by December 20, 2005 to preside over the elections if we are to begin on or about the First of January.
