Hey Bhamamians,
FYI the Democratic Party clique in control of the national Green Party,
GPUS, which has been doing so, so much undermining of Ralph to the point
that they made Elaine Brown resign from the race and denounce her membership
in the organization I formerly supported wasn't able to stop what the
Democrats fear most: the protest vote against war and social injustice that
Ralph is the standard-bearer for.
The vote here in California where more than half of all US greens vote, was
nearly 2/3 greens for Nader, and nearly half of the Peace and Freedom party
for Nader.
Interestingly, as Elaine Brown was not on the Peace and Freedom party ticket
The results in California's Peace and Freedom Party primary as of February 8
at 6:44 pm PT, with 100% of precincts reporting:
Ralph Nader (Green Party): 40.0 percent
Gloria La Riva (PFP and Party for Socialism and Liberation): 21.4 percent
Cynthia McKinney (Green Party): 21.0 percent
Elections are not a be all and end all; they are a part of politics and
policy.
Me and my people who are for human rights, against slavery, and for freedom,
value democracy as the means towards achieving a better world.
And yet everytime it is housing, bread, and dignity that will force us to
organize, and since we don't have the money or the media we must use debate
and democracy.
We grow our power not by lesser evilism, but by research and independent
truth telling, with non-censored debate.
Come Obama or McCain, we will have to end the corporate duopoly, their
media, their language, their power which brings so much terror and suffering
to our world.
As they say, the courts are the tool of the rich man's rule. So could it be
said about electoral politics or trade unionism, or the Anti-War Folks who
say pull out of Iraq so we can win in Afghanistan or defend the Mexico
border.
Complexities, but we don't mourn, we organize.
Hope everyone's well.
Visit the left coast, stay a guest with henry duke.
Peace, love,
Henry Duke
