According to party Constitution, still pending ratification by the state delegates but guiding the party, a majority of the quorum is required to pass any item. A total of 85% of all available leaders cast votes, forming the quorum. States only ratification: The Platform passed by 94.12% of the quorum, 80% of all appointed state leaders, whether they voted or not, and by 76.19% of all appointed leaders, whether they voted or were available. Within the appointed Central Committee, the ratification passed with a quorum of 92.86% of the Central Committee, by 81.25 of all appointed Central Committee votes, whether they voted or not and by 78% of all appointed Central Committee members whether they voted, did not vote or were unavailable. As this has met by over 3/4 vote, in all regards, I hereby declare this Platform as ratified. This Platform will be subject to review during the 2014 Convention. The platform has begun being sent by newsletter to subscribers. It will post on our website tomorrow. Mark Wilder Chairman Pro Tempore Veterans Party of America #VPA veteranspartyofamerica.org
