State legislators   can't agree on what the tax laws should say in time for the printer's   deadline.     The governor of Massachusetts wants to cut an additional $300 million   from the state budget, which will eat into schools and Medicaid.     Virginia needs to borrow $1 billion to repair its crumbling schools and   parks.     Minnesota's budget deficit is now over $3 billion. The state is   contemplating painful cuts in education, health and human services.     <A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021118055153205.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021118055153205.html</A>     ---------     Buy Nothing This Year!     By Michael I. Niman     Americans who follow global news stories know things are looking pretty   bleak. During my lifetime, living conditions in the so-called developing   world have radically declined. Landlessness, and the resulting plagues   of poverty and hunger, is on the rise. Deforestation is turning rain   forests into deserts. Poorer nations, drafted as bit players in the   global economy, are pockmarked with sweatshops - their air and water   awash in toxic wastes. This is all the result of an orgy of consumption   that's been sweeping the world's wealthy nations for over three decades.     The math is simple. In order for one group of people to consume far more   goods than they could produce, some other group has to be consuming   fewer goods than they produce. A field trip to your local "dollar store"   easily drives this point home. During a recent visit, I purchased a   small somewhat heavy plastic pig with an electronic heart and soul that   produces a sickly oink when it detects nearby motion. It cost me one   American dollar. It was produced in a Chinese factory by workers, who,   in all likelihood, earn about 15 cents or less per hour.     <A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021118053311879.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021118053311879.html</A>     ---------     Run, Ralph, Run!     Ronnie Dugger's proposal ("Ralph, Don't Run," The Nation Nov. 14, 2002)   for populists and progressives to enter the Democratic Party is as old   as the Populist/Democratic fusion campaign for William Jennings Bryan   that killed 19th century populism. Now he wants the Greens to commit   suicide by making the same mistake.     The overwhelming majority of Democrats in Congress voted for Bush's tax   cuts, his military build-up, his assaults on civil liberties, and his   regulatory and tax favors to corporate interests. But now, according to   Dugger, we should rely on these same Democrats to provide the   resistance!     Cynthia McKinney, a Democratic Congresswoman who did resist, is what the   Democrats do to their progressives these days. When the right (including   the Georgia’s Democratic Senator Zell Miller and the Democratic   Leadership Council) targeted her for defeat, she was abandoned by the   state and national Democrats, from Andrew Young and Maynard Jackson to   Terry McAulliffe and Bill Clinton.     <A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021115062623324.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021115062623324.html</A>     ---------     NYSEG: New Wind Energy     NYSEG is offering New Wind Energy, a product of Community Energy, to   those customers who want to help our environment.

Everybody rushed off to vote for the one candidate   – Saddam. Surprise, he won. The stories were somewhat tongue-in-cheek,   and they laughed it up on CNN how they don’t have any democracy in Iraq   – and how much better off we are, by contrast. Too bad, when I go to the   polls Tuesday, the Virginia ballot will look pretty-much the same.     Surely I jest? This is American democracy in action: instead of   complaining I should be out registering people to vote. If I want an   alternative to my representatives, I should not only vote against them,   but I should collect others to do the same!     Possibly. Trouble is both the major races on the ballot in my   congressional district are virtually unopposed.     <A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/2002111506032324.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/2002111506032324.html</A>     ---------     IC Students Rally Against War     by Lucas Shapiro     Students at Ithaca College joined together in the campus pub for a   spirited peace rally on November 12th. The event, organized principally   by Students for a Justice Peace, was scheduled to talk place at Free   Speech Rock in the campus quad, but do to rain, the rally was brought   indoors. Despite the last minute location change, a large crowd of up to   200 students gathered to hear 11 student and faculty speakers and   performers.     <A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021114054623219.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021114054623219.html</A>     ---------     Democracy Dies Without Opposition     America's mid-term elections provide the latest example of an expanding   phenomenon: democratic governments that face no effective challenge by   an opposition. More precisely, a growing number of democratically   elected political leaders aren't forced to confront alternative leaders   representing the disaffected.     The phenomenon is by no means confined to what once was the political   right. Britain is currently experiencing what can almost be called the   self-destruction of the opposition Conservative Party. For the third   time in seven years, the Tories are devouring their own leader, without   any viable alternative leader in sight.     <A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/2002111405202453.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/2002111405202453.html</A>     ---------     Poll Proves that Media Manufactures Consent     In 1997, one of America’s first major public opinion polling   organizations, Gallup, did a “poll on polls.” Not surprisingly,   respondents said polls are accurate in measuring public opinion.     Last month, Retro Poll, a newly-formed California-based grassroots   polling organization, did a different sort of “poll on polls,” asking a   slightly different question: Does the public opinion reported in the   major media polls reflect the true beliefs of those polled?     Using the same random sample data and methodology as established polling   outfits like Gallup, Retro Poll’s results indicated that Americans’ true   beliefs are not reflected in major opinion polls. What polls do   accurately illustrate, the pollsters say, is the degree to which   Americans accept major media misinformation and disinformation as fact.     <A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113060925884.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113060925884.html</A>     ---------     Rev. Jesse Jackson endorses Green Candidate     Washington, D.C. The Green Party of the United States announced today   that the Rev. Jesse Jackson has endorsed AnnDrea Benson, Green Party   candidate for the 5th Congressional district in Pennsylvania. The   district is in the northwestern part of the state and includes the city   of Erie. Benson is challenging Republican incumbent Phil English; no   Democrat is competing in the race.     "The Rev. Jackson's endorsement today of my candidacy is a thrilling   event for me personally, and marks a new era for the Green Party by   recognizing that our candidates are of a caliber to receive the support   of somebody with his history of achievement," said Benson, a former   Democratic Party staffer from Minnesota. "As a member of Congress, I   pledge to uphold the values that Rev. Jackson stands for with my fight   for peace, justice, health care and education for citizens of the 5th   district."     <A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113060249590.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113060249590.html</A>     ---------     Ithaca Social Forum, Nov 22-23     Another World is Possible!     November 22 - 23     Inspired by the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil and the call   to hold similar events in local and regional communities, the Ithaca   Social Forum will be held on November 22nd and 23rd.     We are lucky to have Michael Albert, a pillar of social activism, with   us throughout the two days. Michael Albert is editor of Z Magazine and   ZNet. He is the author of the recent book, Trajectory of Change:   Activist Strategies for Social Transformation (South End, 2002).     <A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113055657972.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113055657972.html</A>     ---------     Forest Activists Crash Timber Baron Conference     Forest Activists Crash Timber Baron Conference   Friday, November 8, was the opening day of the 110th annual conference   of the North American Wholesale Lumber Association (NAWLA) in Dallas,   Texas. Member companies of NAWLA log old-growth forests in the United   States and around the world, despite popular disapproval of such   practices, and have been called "North America's real ecoterrorists" for   doing so. The conference was joyfully disrupted by forest activists from   Texas and Cascadia, who hung a banner from the seventh story of the   hotel's atrium, and then crashed a fancy luncheon with "a twelve-piece   revolutionary marching band", where they threw sawdust in the air and   leafletted. Outside the hotel, bridges, boxes and billboards were   plastered with poster-sized wheatpastes declaring, "NAWLA = Blood   Timber". One forest defender said, "There is no reason to believe the   action this round is over yet." Stay tuned.   [ Dallas / North Texas IMC | Timber Execs Stunned by Cocktail Disruption   | A Message to Timber Barons ]     <A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/2002111206204484.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/2002111206204484.html</A>     ---------     The Labor Party Should Join The Greens     by Brian King Steward, UFCW Local 1001     It's easy to see from Dan McCarthy's article in the September 2002 issue   that the Labor Party is smaller than it was. I was present at both the   Cleveland and Pittsburgh conventions in 1996 and 1998, and the 1,400 and   1,200 delegates present at those meetings was pretty impressive. I was a   little sad, but not surprised, to read of the shrunken (500) turnout at   the convention in Washington, D.C.     What should labor activists make of the apparent failure of the Labor   Party to catch on? Better yet, is there anything to be done about it?     I think it would be fair to summarize LP founder Tony Mazzocchi's   intention for organizing the LP as his desire to see the labor movement   represented politically by a party it controls. Tony believed the labor   movement, like rank and file workers, deserves a voice of its own.     http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021112061512227.html

For the third time in seven years, the Tories are devouring their own leader, without any viable alternative leader in sight. <a href="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/2002111405202453.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/2002111405202453.html</a> --------- Poll Proves that Media Manufactures Consent In 1997, one of America’s first major public opinion polling organizations, Gallup, did a “poll on polls.” Not surprisingly, respondents said polls are accurate in measuring public opinion. Last month, Retro Poll, a newly-formed California-based grassroots polling organization, did a different sort of “poll on polls,” asking a slightly different question: Does the public opinion reported in the major media polls reflect the true beliefs of those polled? Using the same random sample data and methodology as established polling outfits like Gallup, Retro Poll’s results indicated that Americans’ true beliefs are not reflected in major opinion polls. What polls do accurately illustrate, the pollsters say, is the degree to which Americans accept major media misinformation and disinformation as fact. <a href="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113060925884.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113060925884.html</a> --------- Rev. Jesse Jackson endorses Green Candidate Washington, D.C. The Green Party of the United States announced today that the Rev. Jesse Jackson has endorsed AnnDrea Benson, Green Party candidate for the 5th Congressional district in Pennsylvania. The district is in the northwestern part of the state and includes the city of Erie. Benson is challenging Republican incumbent Phil English; no Democrat is competing in the race. "The Rev. Jackson's endorsement today of my candidacy is a thrilling event for me personally, and marks a new era for the Green Party by recognizing that our candidates are of a caliber to receive the support of somebody with his history of achievement," said Benson, a former Democratic Party staffer from Minnesota. "As a member of Congress, I pledge to uphold the values that Rev. Jackson stands for with my fight for peace, justice, health care and education for citizens of the 5th district." <a href="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113060249590.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113060249590.html</a> --------- Ithaca Social Forum, Nov 22-23 Another World is Possible! November 22 - 23 Inspired by the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil and the call to hold similar events in local and regional communities, the Ithaca Social Forum will be held on November 22nd and 23rd. We are lucky to have Michael Albert, a pillar of social activism, with us throughout the two days. Michael Albert is editor of Z Magazine and ZNet. He is the author of the recent book, Trajectory of Change: Activist Strategies for Social Transformation (South End, 2002). <a href="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113055657972.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021113055657972.html</a> --------- Forest Activists Crash Timber Baron Conference Forest Activists Crash Timber Baron Conference Friday, November 8, was the opening day of the 110th annual conference of the North American Wholesale Lumber Association (NAWLA) in Dallas, Texas. Member companies of NAWLA log old-growth forests in the United States and around the world, despite popular disapproval of such practices, and have been called "North America's real ecoterrorists" for doing so. The conference was joyfully disrupted by forest activists from Texas and Cascadia, who hung a banner from the seventh story of the hotel's atrium, and then crashed a fancy luncheon with "a twelve-piece revolutionary marching band", where they threw sawdust in the air and leafletted. Outside the hotel, bridges, boxes and billboards were plastered with poster-sized wheatpastes declaring, "NAWLA = Blood Timber". One forest defender said, "There is no reason to believe the action this round is over yet." Stay tuned.

I was present at both the Cleveland and Pittsburgh conventions in 1996 and 1998, and the 1,400 and 1,200 delegates present at those meetings was pretty impressive. I was a little sad, but not surprised, to read of the shrunken (500) turnout at the convention in Washington, D.C. What should labor activists make of the apparent failure of the Labor Party to catch on? Better yet, is there anything to be done about it? I think it would be fair to summarize LP founder Tony Mazzocchi's intention for organizing the LP as his desire to see the labor movement represented politically by a party it controls. Tony believed the labor movement, like rank and file workers, deserves a voice of its own. <a href="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021112061512227.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20021112061512227.html</a>
