Clean Money working group members and supporters
--
Yesterday afternoon, AB 583 passed the Assembly
concurrence vote, so Clean Money and Fair Elections is moving on to the
Governor's desk!
It was another
squeaker -- we got 42 votes -- just one vote to
spare.
Both days I was th
ere watching the vote in the Capitol
surrounded by lobbyists who HATE the bill and fought it every step of the way
the last three weeks. You should have heard some of their comments as they
watched the debate and vote. I'll tell you one of them -- when a Senator
who they counted on being a no vote ended up saying "Aye", they instantly knew
it would pass -- and one of them blurted out
"Damn!".
That lobbyist's "Damn!" signified a historic moment for
election reform in California!
A VICTORY THAT BELONGS TO ALL OF
US!
We still have to get the Governor to
sign the bill, but this has been an
amazing journey and we did it thanks to all of your efforts and those of
over 1,000 people who want Clean Money who contacted
their Senators and
Assemblymembers about the
bill!
And it's especially thanks to Clean Money champion and
AB 583 author Assemblymember Loni Hancock, whose dedication and persuasiveness
over the course of five hard years of trying to get the legislature to finally
pass a Clean Money bill has been just phenomenal. And a special shout-out
to Armando Viramontes, the staffer in her office who we've worked so closely and
well with all this time. He really helped make it all
happen.
The closeness of the two votes -- with no votes to spare in
the Senate and only one to spare in the Assembly -- just goes to show how almost
EVERYTHING everybody did was critical to its passage! One missing link in
all of our chain of actions could have led to us falling a vote short, as Clean
Money bills in other states often have when it comes down to the wire. So
this victory is all of ours!< /span>
And speaking of thanks, your Assemblymembers and Senators who
voted yes, along with Senate leaders Don Perata, Darrel Steinberg and Assembly
leader Karen Bass all deserve thanks. And if your Assemblymember or
Senator was one of the ones who voted no, they need to hear how disappointed you
are.
The online letter tool is now set up to generate thank
you emails and "disappointed" emails, depending on who your Senator and
Assemblymember is. So please go there now and send them a quick
note!
ON TO THE GOVERNOR'S
OF
FICE!
Currently all bills are being held in the legislature before
being passed on to the Governor, because the Governor has said he won't sign any
bills until the budget is passed. And that could be a little while.
We're already working on a strategy to encourage him to sign
it.
Watch sometime soon for what
you can do to help convince the Governor to sign it, but for now it's time to
celebrate the newly passed California Fair Elections Act of
2008!

It's the infoshop's first raid. They took over one dozen computers and would not provide the warrant to show that they had the "right" to gain access to the infoshop until after the raid took place. Please read the following and distribute widely. http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/08/27/18530389.php We need to provide support to the Long Haul since we're all connected in this struggle. Our meeting places, infoshops, bookstores, and union organizing halls must be protected and if federal agents continue to crack down on our privacy and right to organize, we have to be united. A demo is planned for THURSDAY SEPT 4 at SPROUL PLAZA at UC Berkeley, 11am. PLEASE distribute widely. On wednesday 9/3 at 6pm at the Long Haul there will be a poster/banner making party for the demo the next day.

QUESTIONS TO THE VOTER: Why shouldn't LGBTs have the same advantages as male and female couples? Are LGBT couples not worthy of happiness? Shouldn't LGBTs have equality before the Law? Why shouldn't LGBTs have equal civil rights with male and female couples? Why should bigotry and inequality be written into the California Constitution? VOTE NO ON PROP 8 ON NOVEMBER 4 2008 Authorized by: Out Against War, LGBT & Friends Coalition for Peace & Justice, 923 Levering Avenue Unit 102, Los Angeles CA 90024, oa...@hotmail.com VOTE NO ON PROP 8 Prop 8 wants to stop Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, and Transgenders (LGBTs) from having same-gender marriage and hence prevent LGBTs forming their own families. QUESTIONS TO THE VOTER: ·1 Why shouldn't LGBTs have the same advantages as male and female couples? Are LGBT couples not worthy of happiness? ·2 Shouldn't LGBTs have equality before the Law? Why shouldn't LGBTs have equal civil rights with male and female couples? ·3 Why should bigotry and inequality be written into the California Constitution? SAME GENDER MARRIAGE? ·1 The idea of same-gender marriage is not new. Ancient Egypt, China, Persia, and Greece allowed such couples—often with some conditions (for example, fathering a child for the state). Gnostic and Cathar early Christian sects allowed forms of same-gender marriage. ·2 Same-gender partnerships are well known in nature, from insects, invertebrate animals, vertebrate animals, birds, mammals, and apes. Same- gender relationships are therefore part of Nature's enabling tools for the planet. ·3 Jesus Christ never condemned same-gender or homosexual relationships ·4 The prohibitions of the Old Testament can be explained by a desire to maximize population for a hard –pressed small tribe, the Israelites or Jews. ·5 The=2 0same sex prohibition of the Pauline books of the New Testament can be explained through Paul's desire to set early Christianity apart from the prevailing pagan Roman Empire. SHORT LEGAL HISTORY 2004: The City of San Francisco issued marriage certificates to LGBT couples at City Hall under an order from Mayor Gavin Newsom. In that winter, more than 4,000 couples married. In May, the California Supreme Court invalidated these marriage licenses. A lawsuit was then filed on behalf of 15 same-gender couples, Equality California, and Our Family Coalition May 15 2008: The California Supreme Court ruled that all Californians have the freedom to marry. This ended the state ban on Marriage for same gender couples. May 15 2008: --- Governor Schwarzenegger's statement:--- "I respect the Court's decision and as Governor, I will uphold its ruling. Also, as I have said in the past, I will not support an amendment to the Constitution that would overturn this state Supreme Court ruling." June 16 2008: The California Supreme Court decision went into force.

Republicans are trying to cast the Yes on 8 approach as supportive of religious freedoms, bolstered also by the Cal Supreme Court support of a Oceanside Lesbian to be artificially inseminated in spite of the religious beliefs of her physician. The six senior Episcopal Church bishops on Sep 10 opposed Prop 8 (LAT Sep 11 B1). Same sex marriage not between California prison inmates is being investigated for the prison system (Daily Bruin Sep 8 p2). Other Articles/Photos: LA CityBeat Sep 11-17 p3; LGBT NEWS: International: In the Beijing Olympics, of 11out athletes, 7 took medals and one made history. Linda Bresonik of Germany took a bronze medal for soccer, while Lauren Lappi n and Vicky Galindo nabbed silver medals with the United States women's softball team. Natasha Kai of the U.S. brought home gold in soccer, while Gro Hammerseng and Katya Nyberg, who are a couple, brought gold medals home to Norway in handball. The big gay story of the Olympics, however, was the 10-meter platform diving by Matthew Mitcham of Australia, who garnered four perfect 10s on his last dive to shoot ahead of his Chinese competitor Zhou Luxin, denying a Chinese sweep of diving gold. Mitcham was the first openly gay man to win a gold medal at the Olympics. (Gay People's Chronicle Aug 28). TV viewers in Australia and Europe saw an extended interview in the NBC feed with Mitcham, his mother, and his partner Lachlan Fletcher. Viewers in America, however, saw none of the interview, leading to cries of homophobia directed at NBC. There is a You-tube feature on his dives and subsequent interviews. National: The Fall SPLC Intelligence Report mentioned LGBT discrimination on p62,63,64. Obama for America Announced on Aug 8 an expansion of its LGBT Steering & Policy Committee. These new members included Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), who was the Chair of Hillary Clinton's National LGBT Steering Committee, who has joined Tobias Barrington Wolff, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a civil rights lawyer who chaired Obama's LGBT Policy Committee during the primary season, as co-chair.

Communications director Scott Tucker was mentioned and he stated there were about 24 Log Cabiners at the RNC. Log Cabin endorsed McCain on Sep 2. There was no analogous LAT coverage of the Stonewall Democrats at the DNC. Over 350 LGBTs attended the DNC.

California: On Aug 5 the California Senate approved legislation AB 2567 22-13 that would declare May 22 "Harvey Milk Day," observing the birthday of the openly gay San Francisco city supervisor who was assassinated some 30 years ago. The vote created a "day of significance" rather than a state holiday. Not one Republican senator voted for the bill. The Assembly had still to reconcile its version and the compromise bill still needed to be signed by the Governator. Equality California is sponsoring 5 LGBT related bills: Senate Bill 1729 (Migden)-- would help guarantee that LGBT seniors can age with social support and respect; Senate Bill 153 (Migden)– that would protect unmarried LGBT seniors who may otherwise be at risk of losing their homes during their time of grief; AB 2567 (Leno) would establish a day of special significance on May 22 to honor late LGBT civil rights leader Harvey Milk; AB 2654 (Laird) would strengthen the state's nondiscrimination laws to ensure they provide consistent protections for LGBT Californians; AB 3015 (Brownley) would require social workers to educate foster youth and their caregivers about laws that safeguard LGBT students against harassment and discrimination at school.

Some names dropped included: Bryan Lourd, fashion designer Tom Ford, movie producer Bruce Cohen, Abbey owner David Cooley, V President of Palms Restaurant Group Bruce Bozzi Jr, and Kevin Huvane, along with actresses Helen Hunt, Selma Hayek, and Reece Witherspoon.

Mike for years volunteered at an activist bookstore cooperative called Arise! Of hundred detained, 6 were arrested. Amy Goodman leapt a fence to question police. Goodman was arrested on Sep 1. Democracy Now's Elizabeth Press was detained after a police raid of an I-Witness meeting on Sep 3. Under cover police and p[olice intimidation was rife before and during the RNC. Protests at the Republican National Convention resulted in many arrests and tear gassing including gassing the Green Party Vice-Presidential candidate Rosa Clemente (LAT Sep 2 A10). Some 280 were arrested on Sep 1 during and after a march of some 40,000 on a day truncated by Hurricane Gustav's landfall, and in addition, some activists' homes/shops raided. The Minnesota N ational Guard and St Paul police applied the heavy-hand tactics when protestors tired to block delegate buses from reaching the Convention Center. Before Sep 1 some 15 people were arrested. Some 129 people were charged as of Sep 1 with felonies. The Open Forum, the set area for activists to speak and gather in, though utilized did not attract big crowds on Sep1 (LAT Sep 2 A12). On Sep 2, at least 10 people were arrested during and after an anti-poverty march of 5,000 that involved police using tear gas and "flash-bang" grenades who police alleged were trying to get past security fences (LAT Sep 3 13). On Sep 3, 8 were accused of conspiring to disrupt the RNC by violent acts of terrorism (LAT Sep 4 A11). Seven of the 8 are being held on $70,000 bond. They are alleged to members of an anarchist group, the RNC Welcoming Committee. The alternative media did not mention the RNC riots (LA Weekly Sep 5-11 p16; LA City Beat Sep 4-10 p6). There was a disturbance at the Sep 3 Rage Against The Machine concert resulting in 102 arrests for unlawful assembly (LAT Sep 5 A20). The disruptions of McCain's acceptance speech on Sep 4 were not specifically called out as being due to Code Pink in the small paragraphs (A12, 2nd column para 2; A20 column 1, para 4,5) it was referred to in LAT Sep 5 A1,A20. Some 280 were arrested on Sep 4 (LAT Sep 5 A20), making the total arrests during the RNC at over 800. Some 90 protestors had been jailed on the evening of S ep 4, mostly from continuing their protests after their protest permit expired., and after tear gas, pepper spray, and police bicycles and horses were used. The leaders of the Anti-War Committee were arrested and the leaderless throng milled around. Time's Sep 15 account did not mention any protests. LA CityBeat Sep 11-17 p10 indicated protesters in its account. Some 12,000 of Ron Paul's supporters held a 9-hour counter convention in Minneapolis on Sep 2 (LAT Sep 3 A10). Republican Paul, 73, was the Libertarian candidate for President in 1988. Paul on Sep 10 advocated no voting for the duopoly at a 3rd party candidates' convention news conference but did not recommend Nader (LAT Sep 10 A21; Sep 11 A13). LAT Sep 11 A13 had photos of Nader and McKinney as well as Paul. Paul had been asked by McCain not to endorse 3rd Party candidates. He also included Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin.

Al Franken won the Dem nomination for the US Senate in Minnesota on Sep 9 (LAT Sep 10 A11). Bob Woodward's The War Within paints Bush as a failed wartime chief because he wanted to be in charge but did not want to be fully engaged (LAT Sep 10 E1). The anniversary of 9/11 brought many questions about that seminal event (LAT Sep 11 A22). Federal aid after Hurr icane Ike drowned Galveston and left Houston without power, and with at least 40 U.S. deaths on Sep 13-15 was predictably slow much to the embarrassment of Homeland Security Chief, Michael Chertoff (LAT Sep 15 A1).

Peter Camejo Dies: Peter Miguel Camejo, 68, civil rights leader, socially responsible investment pioneer, and former V Pres candidate on the Nader/Camejo Reform Party /Independent ticket of 2004 (third with 0.4% of the vote) , peacefully passed on Sep 13 at his home in Folsom, CA. He had been battling a reoccurrence of lymphoma cancer (1st diagnosed in 2007), and his condition had rapidly deteriorated over the past few days. He was a student leader, civil rights advocate, leader in the socially responsible investment industry with his own investment firm, Progressive Asset Management, Inc. (founded 1987) and with the Board of Earth Share, and author of books on investment and history including Racism, Revolution, Reaction, 1861-1877, The Rise and Fall of Radical Reconstruction, California Under Corporate Rule, and his recent book, The SRI Advantage: Why Socially Responsible Investing Has Outperformed Financially. He used his eloquence, sharp wit, and barnstorming bravado to blaze a trail for 21st century third party politics in the US. He was a third party candidate for state and national office, making three gubernatorial runs in California as a Green, including one in the 2002 election when he earned 5.3 percent of the vote. In the 2003 recall election, he debated Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gray Davis, and eventually placed fourth out of 135 candidates with 2.8% of the vote. In 2006, he got 2.3% of the vote. He was also the Socialist Workers Party presidential candidate in 1967 (a Troskyist party), and obtained 0.1% of the vote after gaining access to the ballots of 18 states and obtaining 91,314 votes. He was also a leader in the Free Speech Movement in the 1960s at UC Berkeley (expelled in 1967) , and pa rticipated in one Selma Freedom march with Rev Martin Luther King Jr. He was named in Gov Reagan's list of the 10 most dangerous people in California for being "present at all antiwar demonstrations". He eventually became a broker at Merrill Lynch but broke with them when they refused to create an individual retirement account that gave funds to AIDS groups. Among the many causes he forcefully championed were a living wage, healthcare for all, and making the US the world leader in renewable energy. He was also a passionate advocate for electoral reform, pressing for proportional representation and instant run-off voting (allows voters to rank their top choices) in an effort to overturn the "200-year-old dysfunctional money-dominated winner take-all system that disrespects the will of the people." He was a politically courageous champion of the downtrodden and mistreated. Peter Camejo is survived by his wife Morella (who was with him when he died), his father Daniel, his daughter Alexandra, his son Victor, three brothers Antonio, Daniel, and Danny, and three grandchildren Andrew, Daniel, and Oliver. His autobiography, Northstar, will be published soon. He was a yachtsman for Venezuela in the 1960 Rome Olympics.

Russia's Georgia adventure continued to draw headlines (Time Sep 15 p16; Sep 22 p20; LAT Sep 2 A5; Sep 4 A4;Sep 7A8; Sep 9 A6; Sep 10 A3,A6; Sep 11 A6; Sep 14 A11). National: Bob Woodward's book "The War Within: A Secret White House History 2006-2008" was described by the White House spokesperson "at best incomplete" (!!!!) But Woodward stood by his conclusions (LAT Sep 6 A15; Time Sep 22 p23). Former Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey claimed on Sep 15 that V Pres Dick Cheney misled him on Saddam Hussein's connection to Al Qaeda (LAT Sep 16 A13). California: Halfway through Speaker Nancy Pelosi's discussion at The American University of Judaism on Aug 11, where more than 300=2 0people paid $30 each to hear Pelosi speak about her upbringing and her family's impact on her political career, the topic shifted to Congress's historically low approval rating and how it reflected on Pelosi's tenure as Speaker (The Public Record, Aug 12). Peter Thottam, founder of the LA Impeachment Center and fuming at a frustrating Pelosi answer, demanded that Pelosi "do her job" and pursue impeachment hearings against President Bush for launching a war on false pretenses. "I am going to vomit. Who gave you the right to take the constitution and shove it down the toilet? Who gave you the right to take impeachment off the table? Nobody told them to do this," Thottam shouted at Pelosi moments before Secret Service agents removed him from the packed auditorium and turned him over to officers with the Los Angeles Police Department. ""One million Iraqis are dead. Five thousand Americans are dead. You have destroyed the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Eighth Amendments." Thottam spent overnight in jail, and the charges were dismissed on Sep 4. Shouted questions soon followed after Thottam's enforced departure by Code Pink and Progressive Democrats of America. LAVENDER GREENS MISSION STATEMENT(June 24 2003): The National Lavender Green Caucus (NLGC) is the Green Party's advocacy group on gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (GLBTIQ) issues.

Subject: [GROW] FairVote Action Alert Urge Governor Schwarzenegger to Sign National Popular Vote Bill
![]()
URGENT ACTION NEEDED:
Urge Gov. Schwarzenegger To Sign National Popular Vote Bill
Once again, the presidential race is in full swing - and in many ways, 2008 looks sadly similar to prior presidential elections: a handful of voters in at most a dozen battleground states are getting all of the campaigns' attention, while most of the country sits on the sidelines -- spectators to election of our nation's highest office.But the dynamics are changing in one important way...
State by state, elected officials are signing onto the National Popular Vote (NPV) plan. NPV would guarantee the Presidency to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and the District of Columbia). The bill would take effect only when enacted by states possessing a majority of the electoral voteshat is, enough electoral votes to elect a President (270 of 538).
Already, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey have enacted the National Popular Vote Bill. This represents 19% (50) of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate the law. Meanwhile, 21 State Legislative Chambers (one-fifth) have passed the bill.
But this summer, the California Assembly passed SB 37, the state's National Popular Vote bill -- and now the bill is sitting on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's desk. Gov. Schwarzenegger can singlehandedly transform debate about this critically important reform to make it about our nation's future, not its past
If you live in California, please contact the Governor and urge him to sign SB 37, the National Popular Vote bill. If you don't live in California, please forward this message to friends and family in the state. We have a short window of time to influence the Governor before he decides how he will act on the bill.
You can call, email, fax, or send a postal note. The most important thing is to do it immediately.Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
Ways to Help: As a rule of thumb, legible handwritten letters are better than typed or computer printed ones. Letters (as long as they're legible) are better than faxes. Faxes are better than emails. Emails are better than phone messages. Phone messages are better than illegible handwritten letters. And all of these options are vastly preferable to doing nothing and then regretting it later. The most important thing is to take action immediately.

Additional information -- including our groundbreaking Presidential Election Inequality Report and an excellent short video produced by our FairVote North Carolina team -- is also available at [FairVote.org/npv].
Once you have sent your letter, used your fax machine, and made your call, then please get ten (10) other friends, relatives, neighbors, or colleagues to do the same. Please spread the word and help us get as many people as possible to contact the Governor to urge his signature on the bill.

Suit Charges Racial Profiling Against LatinosIn July 2007, 23-year-old Christyan Sonato-Vega and his fiancée were pa rked outside a bakery when two Sonoma County deputy sheriffs stopped them, saying the car had a crack in the windshield. The deputy sheriffs questioned Sonato-Vega about his immigration status and searched him without his consent. About a week later, a deputy sheriff and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent confronted Sonato-Vega at his job and arrested him on the sole basis of suspected immigration status. Sonato-Vega was held in county jail for days without any criminal charges filed against him and without notice of his right to a hearing, to legal representation, or to be considered for release on bond.

I’d like to thank Peralta Student Trustee Yvonne Thompson for sending this i
mportant communications. My name is Marlene Hurd your former Student Trustee for Peralta Colleges. I was recently elected as your Regional III Senator and appointed by the Student Senate as the Board of Governor Representatives voicing concerns for 2.6 million students. I am also the President for the Black Caucus of the California Student Association of Community Colleges. Please review the budget statement provided by the Student Senate:
“The California State Budget was signed Tuesday, September 23rd, after a record breaking 85 day delay. Unfortunately, the governor vetoed a $331,000 line item attached to the Chancellor's Office, bringing the total of system office cuts to $531,000. For the Student Senate, this means our funding source is in great jeopardy. There have already been discussions suggesting the Student Senate may be cut off completely. This means that in the coming months, we will have to work together with our partners and colleges to find new and renewable sources of funding so that we may continue to advocate on behalf of California's 2.6 million community college student.”
As your Student Senate Regional III Senator and Board of Governor Representative, and Black Caucus President of CalSACC the ADA issue is also being address at the Regional and State level.
As students we need your Associated Students Governments to work with your Local Student Senate Regional reps. The recent budget SIGNED by our Governors affects YOU. This is your call to action. We need to start some letter writing campaigns to address issues such as supporting the Student Senate, financial aid, ADA compliance, and funding for various student programs.
We need to see you attending your Peralta Board meetings. The Student Senate and the Black Caucus of CalSACC needs to hear all of you dialing into our Monthly Student Senate Regional and Statewide Student Senate meetings to voice your concerns.&n
bsp; YOUR VOICE MATTERS
As your Regional III representatives and Black Caucus President, we look forward to working with you. Please feel free to contact your Student Senate Regional III Representatives:

Walnut Creek, CA The California First Amendment Coalition's annual Free Speech and Open Government Assembly, conducted this year in conjunction with the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, will be held Friday and Saturday, Oct. 17 & 18, at the Journalism School campus in Berkeley. Although admission is free, you need to register online to be assured of a space. The annual Free Speech and Open Government Assembly brings together the best and brightest in law, journalism and public policy to discuss leading First Amendment issues of the day. If you can attend just one professional conference a year, this is it. Speakers this year include acclaimed federal jurist Alex Kozinski, the controversial appeals court Chief Judge whose famously conservative views reflect a distinctly libertarian approach to First Amendment freedoms. This year's program also includes a showing of the new, award-winning documentary, "Secrecy," with a discussion led by the film's director, Robb Moss.

Please help us get the word out that Cynthia McKinney will participate in an online presidential candidates' forum on Sunday evening. There might be some confusion over the fact that the Columbia University forum, also scheduled for Sunday evening, has been canceled. The Columbia forum was canceled, the online forum hosted by ThirdPartyTicket. com is still on.
Here's the web page for the forum, which will take place Sunday evening, October 19, 7-9 pm: http://www.breakthe matrix.com/ channels/ 1
Here's a press release for the online candidates' forum: http://www.gp. org/press/ pr-national. php?ID=121
I'm told that viewers of the online forum will be able to the make donations to their favorite candidate while the event is in progress (and, presumably, thereafter).
Please send an announcement to state and local Green, progressive, antiwar, and other e-mail lists about Sunday's forum, so we can get as many people watching as possible.

| THE TAKE 390 27th Street Oakland between Telegraph and Broadway In suburban Buenos Aires, 30 unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats, and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act -- the take -- has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head. In the wake of Argentina's dramatic economic collapse in 2001, Latin America's most prosperous middle class finds itself in a ghost town of abandoned factories and mass unemployment.

Greetings with a friendly reminder to vote if you haven't yet and
thanks if you have!
There are many important races this year, but i'm only going to mention three:
1. for West Virginia voters - Jesse Johnson (http://www.jesse08.org)
for Governor (still got time to donate and tell your friends!) and
other Mountain Party candidates (mountain party is Green Party
affiliate). I had the honor of campaigning with Jesse between
Jan-July this year. He embodies Green Party values across the board
and is in a strong race to win. This race could prove to be more
instrumental in changing the course of dirty energy use in this
country more than any other given WV's coal mining industry - ground
zero for climate change! The Dem is really an R and is in the midst
of a huge scandal. The R challenger is weak. A perfect storm awaits
your participation!
2. for Texas voters - Linda Yanez, www.lindayanez.com, for TX Supreme
Court Place 8. the Green Party of Texas has endorsed her as we found
her to be a progressive, social-justice minded Judge (currently on the
TX Criminal Court of Appeals) who is not afraid to go toe to toe with
the Republican Supreme Court in Texas. (and we need that!)
3. for all Americans - McKinney/Clemente for President/Vice
President. you might say to yourself, "Why would I want to do that,
when...?" (filling in the blank). Face the facts: 1. I know you
wanted to vote for me, but her policies are extremely similar to my
own, 2.. in most states the electoral votes are decided, why be a
sheeple?, 3. Voting for Cynthia McKinney will count towards the 5%
goal needed to qualify the Green Party for Federal Matching Funds, and
4. You won't regret your vote when the D or R winner shows his true
colors and the status quo remains (check their voting records).
Support your local Green candidates and report any
irregulatites/proglems to the greens. If you're in a write-in state
for McKinney/Clemente, inform your party of your vote to provide some
assistance in tracking accuracy of vote counts. you can also send
your info to me.
