Meanderings on Green Party Politics. Friday, May 26, 2006. GP Statement of Purpose Almost There, But Two Critical Changes Neeeded. He scheduled Ventura Plenary in June includes a proposal to amend Article 2 of the bylaws, to clearly state the "Purpose" of the Green Party.

Meanderings on Green Party Politics. Monday, December 31, 2007. G3 Green: Can the Green Party Evolve, But Keep its Idealism and Values? Watching Green Party politics for the last few years, I think the Party's history can be condensed into three major epochs, or generations if you will; and a lot depends on how Generation 3 plays out. As non-Rotarians and folks unlikely to find themselves recruited as Masons, G2 Greens naturally turned to the time-honored tools of protest and complaint. Coupled with ...

Meanderings on Green Party Politics. Monday, February 27, 2006. Orporate bashing for sport just isn't Green. (See my previous post,. A New Approach to Corporate Bashing. But it is pretty irrefutable that the corporate structure is at the root of much - but not all - that is wrong and unwholesome about doing business in America. I take it - and I hope you will too - as an unwritten part of the 10 Key Values. First, A Reminder: The Two Big Rules of Corporate Behavior, Oversimplified. This way, a majority s...

He Bush administration’s poll numbers are sinking, a majority of Americans now oppose the Republican lead war, and every day it seems that another Congressional incumbent is in trouble with constituents.
