Summary
Election is over; results posted in the meeting agenda. Elija and Joe tied for USPP rep. By mutual agreement, Elija will be primary rep and Joe will be alternate. New treasurer has been given signature power of the bank account.
USPP national conference in June 1st and 2nd, in Illinois.
House of Representatives overwhelming voted to require TikTok to sell to an American company. Sigh. Voting record: https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/202486. In MA, Clark, McGovern, Neal, and Pressley voted against, other reps voted in favor.
Will need volunteers to help go door to door, and gather candidate signatures.
Pirate news: this Sunday. Meeting at 7 to plan, 7:30 go live.
