Is it OK to vote at more than one homegroup? Question: Is it OK to belong to more than one home group and vote on the business issues of both? Answer: Typically people are encouraged to have one home group, not for recovery sake, but for AA "business" sake. Usually, your voice in AA business is through your home group which likely sends a representative to your district or intergroup to vote on how your group feels about broader AA business. The idea of having your voice heard more than once through multiple home groups is quite frequently discouraged as it could lead to individuals having undue influence. In many, more rural, places groups meet just once a week and a person ends up "joining" more than one group so they can get to more meetings. In this case people are usually encouraged to refrain from voting more than once on issues that affect more than the individual group. This helps to theoretically keep it closer to democratic principle of "one man, one vote." For instance, if an issue is being decided for your area like where to hold a conference, it might be best to vote on the issue at only one group. But if each of your home groups votes on which type of coffee to buy there wouldn't seem to be a good reason not to vote on the issue in each of your groups as it couldn't affect A.A. at a level beyond the individual group. |
