[LAAMN] FW: [pfp-scc]Peace Freedom Party Calls California Secretary of State to List All Four Presidential Candidates in Party Presidential Primary
Friends and fellow activists, The Secretary of State is attempting to further marginalize third Parties, especially Peace Freedom, California's only socialist 3rd Party by omiting several of our candidates from the Presidential Primary Ballot. California voters need choice beyond the failed policies that have benefited only the one percent. Below is an article from Ballot Access News, describing the situation. Please read it and sign the online petition. Please contact the L.A. County Peace Freedom Party for questions or comments: 323-960-5063 Thank you, Cindy Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:29:24 -0800 From: ctwebervot...@att.net To: joanna.south...@sos.ca.gov Subject: [pfp-scc] Here is an article from Ballot Access News which talks about Keyes v Bowen, C062321. It concluded that candidate eligibility is best left to each party. C. T. Weber Peace and Freedom Party of California State Chairperson Peace Freedom Party Attempts to Persuade California Secretary of State to List All Four Presidential Candidates in Party Presidential Primary February 9th, 2012 The Peace Freedom Party is carrying on an active campaign to persuade California Secretary of State Debra Bowen to list all four presidential candidates that the party suggested for its presidential primary ballot. See this story in the Sacramento Bee, which says the party has a press conference at 10 a.m. in Sacramento on Thursday, February 9. The story starts with another topic at the top; just continue reading beyond the first-listed item. The story implies that the reason the Secretary of State left one of the four candidates off the partys presidential ballot, Peta Lindsay, is that she is under age 35. However, the reporter seems unaware that the California State Court of Appeals already determined that parties, not the Secretary of State, should make their own determinations of eligibility. In Keyes v Bowen, C062321, decided on October 25, 2010, the Appeals Court wrote, Any investigation of eligibility is best left to each party, which presumably will conduct the appropriate background check or risk that its nominees election will be derailed by an objection in Congress. See this wiki page for Lindsay. Furthermore, if the basis for the Secretary of States action is that Lindsay is under age, that still doesnt explain why she omitted the name of Stephen Durham from the ballot. Durham only recently announced his presidential candidacy, so he hasnt had much time to publicize it, but he is the subject of a lengthy, full-page article in the Freedom Socialist, issue of February-March 2012. An internet petition is circulating, asking the Secretary of State to list the two omitted candidates. The two candidates who are not omitted are Rocky Anderson and Stewart Alexander. However, it is somewhat likely that Rocky Anderson will withdraw from the PFP primary, and if he does, and if the Secretary of States action is not reversed, the presidential primary will carry only one name. UPDATE: here is a story from indybay.

[LAAMN] Against the NDAA? Help the Candidate of the 99%
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) included a dangerous provision authorizing the U.S. military to pick up and imprison civilians including Americans without charge or trial, (the same week the Occupy Movement was being cleared from city streets all over the U.S.) If you feel irate and betrayed that both of our California Senators voted in favor of this: http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/271037/20111221/ndaa-bill-senator-vote.htm And if you are ready to stop being ripped off by politicians who claim to work for us, and cave in to the ruling elite, keep reading: Marsha Feinland, retired school teacher from Berkeley is running for U.S. Senate in 2012. As a Peace Freedom Party Candidate for this office in 2010 Marsha demonstrated her commitment to civil liberties, workers and immigrants rights, single payer healthcare and environmental protection. Check out her stand on all the issues weve been all been talking about and in the streets about, and its apparent that she is one of the candidates of the 99%.: http://feinlandforsenate.org/index.php Under Proposition 14s new election laws, all candidates for partisan office will run in the same June Primary. All voters will be able to vote for her regardless of what party they are registered in, including decline to state. To get on the California Ballot, Marsha needs 10,000 petition signatures form California Voters: any California voter, regardless of Party registration, including decline to state may sign or circulate a petition for Marsha Feinland for Senate. If you want a candidate powered the people, instead of elite wealth, pick up one of Marshas petitions to sign and circulate among your friends and co-workers. Petitions will be available Friday Dec 30th.

[LAAMN] FW: BREAKING: This Morning in New York City...
Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2011 11:58:40 -0500 From: messen...@truthout.org To: coz42...@hotmail.com Subject: BREAKING: This Morning in New York City... Last night, I watched lower Manhattan turn into a militarized lockdown. The park known as Liberty Square was apparently cleared by force, though I arrived 20 minutes after the police barricades encircled a two-block radius, kicked out all media and prevented all foot traffic on public sidewalks surrounding the park. This was expected. The emergency text message went out at 1:00 AM and read, URGENT: Hundreds of police mobilizing around Zuccotti. Eviction in progress! prompting a mass mobilization of people like me, part-time protesters who signed up to converge on the park for the looming police raid on the physical heart of the Occupy movement. The police were prepared for this flood of bodies. Many subway stops were shut down, as was the Brooklyn Bridge. My go bag had been packed for weeks, waiting for just this moment. I laced up my boots, and spent an agonizing 20 minutes on the subway from Brooklyn. Upon arrival in lower Manhattan, I struggled for about two hours to get to a position where I could see into the park, to no avail. From a block away, I saw massive piles of what used to be supplies dumped into waiting trucks. People's major concerns were two-fold: first, the health and safety of the occupiers locked in the camp; and second, the 5,000 books of the Occupy Wall Street library. What a picture it would be (maybe it exists) of police in riot gear gathering boxes of donated books and loading them into garbage trucks. A perfect metaphor for what appears to be the intention of last night's raid: destroying the body of knowledge that had been collected by a movement just two months old, which was built by collective effort, literally from the ground up. After four hours of wandering in groups and alone on the dark, empty streets of lower Manhattan, Foley Square, a park rich with the history of labor struggles in New York City, became the rallying point. After a short discussion with the handful of police on hand, Foley Square was determined to be a safe zone - for the time being. Here I sit, watching the pulse of the Occupy Wall Street movement strengthen. Stories of arrests are being exchanged over a breakfast of apples and muffins. A sleepless crowd is beginning to be reinforced by New Yorkers from around the city as the morning news streams images of a camp turned back into a barren, soulless corporate park known as Zuccotti. But the drums are back. The spirit and the idea of the Occupy movement has only been strengthened. Today is the end of the beginning, and what has been built cannot be disbanded. Now, we stand at the beginning of the next phase, looking into the eyes of the people who created a new consciousness and a new politics. Today is November 15, 2011, a beautiful day tainted only by the physical harm of those who left their blood and sweat on the cement of Liberty Park.

L.A. Toll Group port drivers have decided they had enough of being treated like 2nd class citizens by their Australian employer and have organized themselves to form a union to achieve the American Dream. Now they need your help. Toll Group, an $8.6 billion global company with yearly earnings of a quarter of a billion dollars, is showing no mercy. They're pulling all anti-union stunts to stop the momentum created by workers and are retaliating against drivers that have taken a stand. We need your help to spread the word about the port drivers' fight at Toll Group.

We call upon all activists, intellectuals and citizens in India and abroad to help by sending this appeal to a Suzuki workers union known to you or by taking it to workers of a Suzuki plant in your area. An appeal for solidarity to all workers of Suzuki Motor Corporation More than 2000 of your co-workers are on strike for their right to organise and form a union in the Maruti Suzuki plant at Manesar in India Workers have to fight unitedly against heightened attacks on labour rights all over the world in the name of recession and austerity measures Dear friends, More than 2000 workers of the Maruti Suzuki factory at Manesar, Gurgaon are on strike since last June 4 and have occupied the factory. Their demands are totally lawful. For now they are just demanding that their legal right to form their own union be recognised. As per the labour law, they have all the rights to form their own union and all the workers support this demand. These include a large number of contract workers and apprentice workers who have been working in the factory for years. Maruti Suzuki India, the biggest car maker in India is a partial subsidiary of the Suzuki Motor Corporation who owns 54 percent of its equity. But the management of Maruti Suzuki, in a totally illegal manner, has refused to give recognition to the union and is adopting fascist tactics to break the agitation. It is getting open support from the Congress government of the state of Haryana. The management has declared the strike as illegal and the 11 leading workers have been dismissed. Even the state government has declared the agitation as illegal. It has given a free hand to the Maruti Suzuki management to deal with the workers. The workers are sitting inside the factory gates for past 12 days. The management has disconnected the electricity and water supply in the factory premises and even the canteen has been shut down. The workers are sitting in the same clothes in excruciating summer heat but they are not ready to buckle down in the face of the strongarm tactics of management. Large number of police personnel and armed security guards of Maruti Suzuki are deployed at the factory gate who stop everyone at a distance of 100 meter from the factory gate. Not even the media persons and the relatives of workers are being allowed to meet the workers. The relatives who take food to the workers inside are also being threatened and intimidated. Those who are trying to spread their message to fellow workers in the region are attacked by the security gurads of the company. (Please go here for more news about the strike: http://workersresist.net). We appeal to all the workers of the Suzuki Motor Corporation to show solidarity with their co-workers who are fighting against all odds and pressurise the company to stop its repressive tactics and accept the just demands of the workers. Workers all over the world are facing heightened attacks on labour rights in the name of recession and austerity measures. Workers have to fight unitedly against the might of the corporates to safeguard our rights and jobs. We must find ways to organise all workers of transnational corporations like Suzuki as well as all workers of an industry like the automobile industry. The corporations are colluding to crush workers all over. It is high time that the workers across countries start joining hands to resist. - Citizens Front in Support of the Maruti Suzuki Workers Movement Sandeep (8447011935) sandeep.sam...@gmail.com, Sourav (9811841341) souravbanerje...@yahoo.com - Ajay Swami (9540436262), Delhi Metro Kamgar (Workers) Union - Roopesh Kumar (9213639072), Bigul Mazdoor Dasta -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Defend Public Education group.

Union Leader Calls for Possible Nationwide General Workers Strike AmazingInspiringFunnyScaryHotCrazyImportantWeird Read More: International Longshoremen's Association , Labor Unions , South Carolina , Wisconsin Protests ,Eyes Ears News SHARE THIS STORY 151 42 6 2 Get Eyes Ears Alerts Sign Up Submit this story A high-profile South Carolina union leader said Wednesday that he doesn't see any other way for the labor movement to win the battle against an anti-union bill in Wisconsin than to call for a general workers strike if such legislation passes. Kenny Riley, who heads up the Charleston local 1422 of the International Longshoremen's Association - the largest and most powerful union in the Palmetto State - is a bright star among the national union leadership. He's heading to Cleveland today for the Emergency Labor Meeting. Riley will speak in Cleveland on a panel titled How Can We Help Mobilize the Labor Movement to Fight the Attacks Against Working People? Panelists who were also scheduled include Russell Bannan, American Federation of Teachers Colorado State Organizing Director; Gladys McKenzie, Field Representative, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 5 (Minnesota) and David Newby, President Emeritus, Wisconsin State AFL-CIO. Riley's main worry is what will happen after all the rallies and protests that brought the debate over workers rights and collective bargaining onto the front pages of newspapers and prime-time TV broadcasts. In Wisconsin, for instance, if Republican Gov. Scott Walker ends up passing a bill that strips collective bargaining rights, what good was all that noise? I don't see any other way than [proposing] a general workers strike, Riley says. I would actually want to have a call for a general strike before the bill is passed. Riley plans to say as much during the Cleveland meeting tonight. Riley says he's tired of having feel-good meetings and isn't looking forward to listening to labor experts or historians talk in the abstract. For his part, Riley is ready to move forward with warnings about the prospect of a nationwide general workers strike in response to the anti-collective bargaining legislation in Wisconsin, even if workers never actually have to pick up a picket sign. You don't always have to pull the trigger, but you have to pull a gun, he says. If that sounds strongly worded, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley might have been expecting it. The newly elected anti-union Republican governor recently took to her Twitter page recently to declare: The more heavy-handed the unions are with us, the more we are going to talk smack back. Last year, South Carolina had the third-lowest organized workforce in the country at 4.5 percent, according to the national Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Palmetto State has a bloody history when it comes to unions, including a brutal massacre in the town of Honea Path in 1934 when security forces working for a textile company opened fire on workers attempting to organize.

Please consider responding to this urgent request to stop the Senate from cutting funds from Social Security that would lead to the layoff of the people who process our social security checks each month. If these employees lose their jobs, recipients of social security will experience delays in receipt of their payments and others applying for social security will suffer longer delays in getting approved. Thank you - Forwarded Message From: Melissa Byrne mby...@socialsecurity-works.org To: stewar...@yahoo.com Sent: Tue, March 1, 2011 12:30:29 PM Subject: Social Security Closed for Business Take Action Dear Sharon, Republicans have found an easier way to cut Social Securityjust cut funding for the Social Security Administration (SSA). In the wee hours of the morning on February 19, all but three House Republicans voted to cut $1.7 billion from the SSA. The proposed cuts are so severe that the SSA could have to furlough thousands of workers for 1 month out of the 7 months remaining this budget year. The impact of these cuts for retirees, disabled workers and families will be devastating. Please attend a noon rally on March 2nd to support restoring funding to the Social Security Administration. Click here to see if there is a rally near you. If you cant attend a rally, please call your Senators. Heres what these cuts will do: Up to 400,000 people will have their applications for retirement, survivors and Medicare benefits significantly delayed. Up to 290,000 people will have their applications for disability benefits significantly delayed. Unbelievably, it already takes nearly 500 days on average to have a disability claim resolved. Whats worse is that these cuts are nothing but cutting for cuttings sake. ;When we say Social Security doesnt add a penny to the deficit that goes for the costs the Social Security Administration incurs making sure that workers get the benefits they earned. The money you contribute to Social Security every day you work pays not only for your benefits, but for the Social Security Administrations work keeping track of your earnings, so that you get the benefits you earned. Please attend a noon rally on March 2nd to support restoring funding to the Social Security Administration. Click here to see if there is a rally near you. If you cant attend a rally, please call your Senators. The Republican agenda is clear. The party wants to cut, privatize, and otherwise harm Social Security. This month they are trying to defund the SSA. In April and May they will try to cut Social Security benefits outright. Its up to the U.S. Senate to keep the doors to the SSA open for business. This could be decided over the next two weeks. We need you to call your Senators today.

Click here CBP HOME SIGN UP FOR EMAIL SUPPORT THE CBP NOVEMBER 3, 2010 Statement: Jean Ross on the Defeat of Proposition 24 Following the defeat of Proposition 24, a ballot measure that would have repealed three recent business tax breaks, Jean Ross, executive director of the California Budget Project, a nonpartisan public policy research group, released this statement: The people of California voted down Proposition 24, which would have repealed three business tax breaks that will cost the state $1.3 billion or more per year when they take effect. Voters shouldn't be asked to address complex tax issues at the ballot box. Independent research shows that business tax breaks have little impact on job creation. But the loss of $1.3 billion a year in funding will widen the state's budget gap and jeopardize funding for schools, health care, and other public structures that serve the common good. As part of a balanced budget solution, the Legislature should heed the call of editorial boards and analysts across the state and scale back these tax breaks to avoid further budget cuts that could harm the economy, jeopardize our economic competitiveness, and push the state back into a recession.

[LAAMN] Sat 10-16 ;Join PF Candidate in a door to door fight against the State Budget Cuts
Spread the Word Day Sunday Oct 16th. 9:30am Meet at Peace Freedom Office at 2617 S. Hauser Bl. Los Angeles 90016 310-367-9648 Have fun sharing information with voters about ballot measures crucial for California's education and social service budget. A vote for Peace Freedom candidates is a vote against the trickle down austerity State Senate Candidate Cindy Varela Henderson Calls for Action Against Budget Cuts Emphasizes distinctions from Democratic and Republican candidates Im pro-working family and pro-environment; theyre not. Cindy Varela Henderson, the Peace Freedom Party candidate in the 26th Senate District (and the only female Latina in this race), is running to expose the bankruptcy of tax and budget policies that produce cutbacks and lay-offs and to offer alternatives, and shes taking her message door to door in her district. Everyone running talks about being for jobs and education, Im the only one with a plan to fund jobs and to fund education, Henderson said. I propose revising 1978s Proposition 13 by implementing a split-roll taxation so homeowners and residents are protected and corporations begin to pay their fair share, Henderson said. It is time for the corporations to pay. I propose implementing an oil severance tax to provide additional money for the people of this state from the oil industry, she added. Other states do this, why not California? I propose returning to previous tax rates so the wealthy are taxed as they used to be, she said. She said the current Democrat leadership in Sacramento kept all these ideas off the table, and instead chose to agree to massive, devastating cuts in jobs. education and services. They dont want to tax the corporations and the rich, Henderson said. The burden on working people is already too great. Working people need relief from that burden. Henderson and campaign volunteers will leave campaign headquarters at 2617 S. Hauser Blvd in Los Angeles 90016 to knock on doors, talk with voters, and distribute brochures this weekend October 16-17th and every weekend til the election Nov. 2. Were emphasizing that this election is historic, she said, with several ballot measures that can either check the power of the corporations and restore funds to the state treasury and restore some democracy, or can give away even more of whats left of Californias resources and the power of working people to improve their lives. Were urging No on 23, Yes on 24 and 25, and No on 26, she said. In combination, this would increase state revenues, eliminate the minority rule over the budget and keep California on track to protect and improve our environment. She criticized her Democrat opponent, Curren Price, for his economic development proposals as tried and failed economics. He wants to offer tax breaks to corporations. The difference couldnt be more revealing. She also noted Prices recent sponsorship of a bill that would cancel 911 phone service for people who couldnt afford a phone and his opposition to a ban on plastic bags after receiving money from that industry. Pro-corporation and anti-environment. This cannot be our future, she said. Henderson said her Republican opponent, Nachum Shifren, spends most of his time scapegoating immigrants and their alleged impact on education, classrooms and jobs, as if those are at the bottom of the economic scale are the reason teachers are underpaid, laid off or furloughed and schools are in disrepair. Henderson criticized both of her opponents for apparently having no memory of when California had the best education system in the country, and it was free, and of having no vision or willingness to try to restore the state to its former greatness. Prices vision is to administer austerity, Shifrens vision is to make it worse, she said. Henderson is a phone technician, a member of the Communication Workers of America, Her campaign website is: www.voteCindy4Senate.com. ### [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] --- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --- Unsubscribe: mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com --- Subscribe: mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com --- Digest: mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com --- Help:

[LAAMN] FW: [SouthernCaliCoalition] Neither one deserves our votes
Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2010 21:51:36 -0700 From: josm...@yahoo.com Subject: [SouthernCaliCoalition] Neither one deserves our votes To: southerncalicoalit...@googlegroups.com; march4thact...@googlegroups.com; la_march_...@googlegroups.com CC: iso...@googlegroups.com If you are an educator whose union has endorsed either gubernatorial candidate, please consider signing this letter. If you know anyone in such a position, please forward this email. Thanks! John Osmand, ISO c: 401-301-4545 facebook socialist Thus, in imagination, individuals seem freer under the dominance of the bourgeoisie than before, because their conditions of life seem accidental; in reality, of course, they are less free, because they are more subjected to the violence of things. Karl Marx, The German Ideology Neither one deserves our votes A group of California teachers explain why both the Democratic and Republican candidates for governor are ready to attack their union--and working-class families. September 20, 2010 EDUCATORS IN California face a rotten choice between a rampaging Republican and a dithering Democrat. Neither major candidate has real answers to solve the crisis rocking working families in the state. Meg Whitman's slash-and-burn austerity program is clear enough to everyone. Jerry Brown, on the other hand, has easily won the endorsements of the California Federation of Teachers and the California Teachers Association. This support is undeserved. Brown said in a recent interview on KCRA, We're going to have to make some cuts that nobody really looks forward to. He accepts the logic of balancing the crisis on the backs of state workers, students, the poor and the disabled. There is not a shred of evidence that he will raise taxes on the rich, close corporate tax loopholes or campaign to overturn Proposition 13. In another interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Brown pledged to cut pensions for public employees. He also referred to low-income families as criminals and suggested that environmental laws are bad for economic growth. On education reform, Brown personally championed two charter schools as mayor of Oakland and failed to restructure that city's notoriously pro-corporate tax system to actually fund its schools. In his political career, Brown has been the lead architect of California's prison-industrial complex. As attorney general, he has overseen a system that destroys the lives of young men of color as quickly as it saps state resources. (To be fair, his Web site touts his record of opposing wasteful prison spending...such as blocking the funding of direly needed new medical facilities for inmates.) To add insult to injury, Jerry Brown's losing principles are surpassed only by his losing campaign. Giving our money and time to the less evil politician and hoping for the best is a questionable strategy in good times. But right now we're being hammered by an economic recession and anti-teacher federal policy worse than the Bush years. In 2005, a coalition of nurses, firefighters and teachers defeated Arnold Schwarzenegger's anti-union ballot initiatives by grassroots organizing and constant public demonstrations. This is a rough blueprint for standing up for ourselves, no matter who gets elected in November. It is time to rescind our unions' endorsements of Jerry Brown. Let's redirect our resources to rebuilding the organizing power inside California Federation of Teachers and California Teachers Association, the power that is the lifeblood of unionism. Let's get serious about undoing Prop. 13. Let's give an honest hearing to Green Party and Peace Freedom candidates. Let's spend our money kick-starting a national drive to fire Arne Duncan and to put a halt to Race to the Top.

[LAAMN] FW: [pfp-scc] Nader Volunteer, State Party Official Beaten At GOP Convention
Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2008 12:02:26 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [pfp-scc] Nader Volunteer, State Party Official Beaten At GOP Convention From: Joe Williams / Santa Cruz -- Nader Volunteer, State Party Official Beaten At GOP Convention http://newsblaze.com/story/20080906000600.nb/topstory.html September 06,2008 Ralph Nader volunteer, Peace and Freedom state official beaten, hospitalized at GOP convention; PF Party condemns 'brutal' attack MINNEAPOLIS - A volunteer with the Ralph Nader for President campaign - and an official of the Peace and Freedom Party California State Central Committee - was beaten by police and hospitalized at the Republican National Convention here in what party leaders condemned as a brutal assault on Barry Burgess and our liberties. Burgess, elected to the Peace and Freedom Party Contra Costa County Central Committee and state committee in June, was attacked distributing literature for the Ralph Nader for President campaign, according to Kevin Akin, California State Chair, Peace and Freedom Party. Atkins statement follows: Barry Burgess was handing out literature for Peace and Freedom presidential candidate Ralph Nader (and) was the subject of an unprovoked attack by club-wielding police, who inflicted head injuries and arrested him... he was treated at a hospital and released, and is now recovering at a Nader supporter's home. Following similar but smaller attacks on demonstrators in Denver, the police attacks on peaceful demonstrators in Minneapolis, which have occurred without any criticism from leaders of the Republican and Democratic Parties, show how seriously our civil liberties have been eroded. The Peace and Freedom Party demands accountability from Minneapolis, Minnesota and federal authorities, and an investigation with appropriate consequences for those engaging in this mass brutality and intimidation. We also demand that all the trumped-up charges against those exercising their constitutional rights be dropped. We anxiously await further word on the condition of Barry Burgess, and hope that enough complaints are received by Minneapolis officials to restrain the savage excesses of their police tonight and tomorrow. We also hope that this brutal attack on Barry Burgess and our liberties inspires Americans to examine the real actions and positions of the presidential candidates on freedom of speech and free assembly.
