Call for a Green Bloc at the RNC
Events that the Green Bloc is focused on participating in: critical mass
on 8/27, mass gardening support on 8/28, the “more than a million” day on
8/29 and the True Security call as part of the “Shout Heard Round
the World” mass non-violent civil disobedience on A31. Our goal for the
31st is to create an open, welcoming space for people to plug into the
actions that will be happening that day that offer not just a critique of
the capitalist system that’s gotten us into this mess, but a...

Crossroads for the California Green Party - Will It Be Nader or Cobb?
Today, the Green Party of California, as well as that of Vermont, is engaged in a very sharp debate, and it is not about "process." It is about the political direction of the party. One group supports David Cobb's nomination and defends the central pillar of his campaign, the "smart state" strategy. Another group argues that Cobb's nomination was the result of a rigged convention process that defied the will of the majority Greens by choosing Cobb over Nader/Camejo in orde...

Ten Ways to Become a Better Democrat
Fellow radicals: recent events have made it clear that the primary task facing good people everywhere is unconditional support for the Democratic Party, the only party capable not only of removing a very, very bad man from office, but also increasing the pay envelope of starving and desperate Nation, Salon, MoveOn, and Sierra Club coffee-coolata-warriors across America. I submit my humble contribution to this effort by offering a list of ten virtues to cultivate in your personal journey towar...

Ralph Nader Responds to Terry McAuliffe False Statements
Charge - Aligning "with the kind of right-wing, Pat Buchanan conservatives" such as the Reform Party.
Sadly, today’s Reform Party is more progressive than the Democratic Party on many issues. They want an immediate withdrawal from Iraq not a continued quagmire occupation; they sincerely want statehood for Washington, DC; they want to withdraw from trade agreements that undermine our sovereignty and weaken environmental, labor and consumer protections; they want to truly protect the...

When Matt Gonzalez was trying to make arguments on democracy concerning the fact that Cobb won the Green nomination disproportionate to his delegate take in the primaries in Milwaukee, I did some analysis that convinced him that his arguments were baseless. Perhaps it might convince you as well....

California, Take Back the Green Party!
"There's a little rebellion starting," [Peter] Camejo said this week.
Camejo said in California, the bastion of Green registration, "it's a fact: The majority of the party wants to put Nader/Camejo on the ballot." (Carla Marinucci, "Nader's Ballot Hopes Hinge on State's Greens," San Francisco Chronicle, August 7, 2004). . . .
Camejo is telling the truth....

To David Cobb - Please Cede California Ballot Line To Nader
For much of your campaign, you have stated that the purpose of your run is to "build the Green Party." Up to now, despite my personal disagreement over tactics, I have had no reason to doubt that. But the moment is here - an important historical moment for both our party and the nation - to learn whether or not that is, in fact, your intent....
