It's Easier to Occupy Wall Street Than it is to Change It How we work together will prove as important as what we do to try and solve the problems. If we are willing to listen we can learn. When we utilize the strengths of some and the distinct strengths of others we find new alternatives emerge.

Ted Glick's Book on a Political Strategy on Climate Change Defining the Mission of a unified alliance needs to be focused on the goals that we are striving for. Constituencies that we have worked with in the past need to be expanded based on common concerns and political action needs to be based on demonstrated common direction towards our common goal and not the entire Platform or political agenda of any one ideological or political group.

Regional Water Planning and California Water Crises A Green position needs, on the one hand, to promote a sound decision-making process that assures grassroots democracy while representing the needs and concerns of our voters and supporters in defining and supporting policies to implement our state Green Party Platforms. Structural reforms in our political entities are a fundamental focus in accomplishing both goals.

Arlen Moves On I don't see the issue of Arlen Spector being a "moderate" is as significant as the fact that he remains unwilling to confront the fundamental policy issues.

President Obama Misses Fundamental Kurdish Issues in Turkey It is ironic that President Obama chose Turkey to declare: "There's an old Turkish proverb: 'You cannot put out fire with flames.'" It is obviously a proverb that the Turkish government, not to mention the US government, needs to be reminded of.

Government, Planning and the Politics of Water The age of unlimited growth is over economically and ecologically. We need to balance our water budgets as we need to balance our financial budgets. We need to save our resources, just as we need to save our money, as never before and take each new step cautiously. Pyramid schemes for new supplies will never provide us with the stability we need for the future.

Schools Failing, Money Needed California's public education system is dysfunctional and it is the children and the future generation that have paid the costs. In addressing both the short term issues and the long term, true solutions need to be found.

Nahla Hussein al-Shaly: A Martyr for Women The struggle for women's equality is a profound focus in those movements that seek to oppose the institutionalization of Islamic sharia law in defining social and political rights. The brutal murder of Nahla Hussein al-Shaly was aimed at preventing the effective political organization of Kurdish and Iraqi women defending equal rights.

Tikrit Rallies against Kurds while Maliki Fiddles So once again the Americans leave Kurds without following through on their commitments made to them. Once again Saddam's henchmen raise their heads and seek to legitimize their status at the expense of others. Once again world powers are oblivious to the future of Kurds. Once again Turkey is afforded power to make decisions regarding the future of Kurdish peoples.

Is Russia a Good Ally for Kurdistan? As the United States relinquishes its influence in the region, new decisions will be made. One thing is assured: Turkish antipathy toward the Kurdish nation and peoples has shown no indications of changing.

Casting a NO Vote Since the 2004 Democratic Convention, the people of the US have been carefully prepped for Obama. After so many losers over the years, Dems are feeling pumped up by the whole thing. The bailout and the Afghan war and its spread to Pakistan are singularly demonstrative of the continuum we will face as a nation. I prefer a NO vote, thank you very much.

Hoover's RFC 2.0 Disbursement of funds and implementation of financial support of small businesses, home owners and the unemployed needs to start from the bottom up. Local bodies for disbursement need to be structured in a way to address the brush fires already at work in our communities.
