Interview with Lucrecia Bermudez (District 9 race)
By Ildefonso Rodriguez
“I have no interests different from those whom I’m looking to represent. I don’t see them as my instrument to rule, rather I see myself as a tool for their struggles and right to rule their own lives.”
-Lucrecia Bermúdez
Lucrecia Bermudez is running for Supervisor of District 9 again. Last time around, in 2000, when Ammiano was at the peak of his popularity, Lucrecia came in third.

Renee Saucedo: "It's All About Me" (District 9 race)
By Ildefonso Rodriguez
"Tom Ammiano had his opportunity, now it's the turn of someone like me."
"Lucrecia had her opportunity, now it's my turn." -- Renee Saucedo
To the Bay Guardian, to El Tecolote, at Green party meetings and during a debate with candidate Lucrecia Bermudez, she is telling anyone who would like to listen that it is her turn and nobody else’s. And she is very protective of the mantle. So much so that last year she broke with her long term political ally and personal friend Erik Quezada over which of the two should make a run this year.

Crisis in the San Francisco Green Party
By Simon Morales
The local SF Green Party chapter is currently in a state of disarray and dysfunctionality. Some local activists attribute this situation to the control of the organization by a clique of Demogreens who have stifled the work of the party. Others claim that the current state is a price paid for the success of the party, that the problems represent growth pains that will resolve themselves as the politics of the organization are further defined.

The Green Left
By Simon Morales
After the Milwaukee Convention of the Green Party, most leaders of the Green Party have lined up to oppose and denounce the Demogreens, who rigged the Convention with fake delegations and stuffed the ballot boxes with the votes of unknown small bureaucrats.
David Cobb was successful in defeating the endorsement of Ralph Nader-Peter Camejo, but he does not seem to be acquiring much capital out of it. In fact, it’s possible that his candidacy will deprive the Green Party of its ballot status in several states, as he is not likely to overcome the death kiss of the one percentile candidates.

School Board election: "It’s Ackerman, Stupid..."

Giving Non Citizens Access to the Voting Booth
By Matt Gonzalez
American patriots who tossed tea into Boston’s harbor in 1773 had a list of grievances against the king of England, which included that they weren’t represented in Parliament despite paying heavy taxes. The cry “no taxation without representation” succinctly captured their sentiments.

Kerry-Edwards the lesser Evil? Give George W. a chance to prove himself
A facetious appeal to give Bush a second chance for the title
By Joaquin Bustelo
I think this is a case where the old adage about being careful what you wish for should be listened to.
I don’t really give a damn which part of the Bush-Kerry ticket the ruling class decides to put in charge for the next four years, or whether they rely on tradition and let the people decide which one fools them better.
