No to Angelides and Schwarzenegger! Yes to Janice Jordan! 
Angelides criticized Schwarzenegger for his praise for the racist anti-immigrant vigilantes called the “Minutemen” while in the same breath calling for a "guest worker" program that would create a new class of super-exploited worker with no political rights. Under the same type of program in the past U.S. bosses often failed to even pay Mexican workers for their hard labor.

Long Live the Oaxaca Commune! 
It is that this heroic struggle puts on the agenda the seizure of state power, and how to completely resolve the demands of the great majority of the people. For this we must fight for the fall of URO and for the formation of a provisional government of the APPO and the other worker, peasant, and poor people's organizations of the state of Oaxaca.
(Picture: From the battles that took control of the streets in the beginnings of the Oaxaca commune.)...
