Editorial:

The Ronald Reagan Show: Crocodile Tears and Nostalgia for Bygone Better 
Bipartisan Times

Ronald Reagan is dead after having disappeared for a decade from public view. 
The resulting media frenzy ? fueled by the Bush government, Republicans and big 
corporations with enthusiastic support from Democratic politicians ? is trying 
once again to convince us that history is not about the relationship of classes 
and which class holds state power, but about the work of enlightened and 
brilliant men.

Camejo: Greens do not Sign Loyalty Oaths

A new concept never seen before in the Green Party, to my knowledge, has 
appeared for the Nominating Convention. A new rule requiring that a delegate 
before they can participate in the convention must sign a loyalty oath to the 
"Presidential Candidates nominated by the Convention".

White House Disarray: Why is Bush still in power, directing the affairs of the 
Empire?

?The finest plans are always ruined by the littleness of those who ought to 
carry them out, for the Emperors can actually do nothing? ? Bertolt Brecht

By Sebastian Robles

There is heated electoral rhetoric and fireworks between Democrats and 
Republicans nowadays. It is no more than logical, as both parties would like, 
come November, to put a tenant in the White House and control Congress to serve 
their big donors. Behind the rhetoric, however, is little substance.

George W. Bush is still competitive for the job (and still the President, 
avoiding impeachment) because of the truce declared by the Democrats above and 
beyond the call of duty of any legitimate opposition.

Green National Convention: A choice of Nader - Camejo formula or Surrender to 
the Democrats

By Carlos Petroni

The Green Party of the US is having its National Convention in Milwaukee on 
June 24-27. The Party is at a crossroads. Their delegates at the convention 
will have to decide whether to jump into the abysm of Lesser Evil Kerry or 
stand up on its own two feet and fight the duopoly of power by supporting the 
formula, Ralph Nader-Peter Camejo.

The fundamental task of the antiwar, Labor, anti-racist and youth movement is 
to break free ? in significant numbers ? from the two-party system of the 
Empire. Pressured by an unrelenting media hostile to left politics and 
surrounded by a milieu of local and national Democratic Party activists who 
threaten them with isolation and scorn, the Greens are hesitant.

More than few are willing to capitulate.

Lucrecia Bermudez: Why I'm running for Supervisor in District 9

End the City government from PG&E, for Lennar and by the GAP

For a City government from, for and by working families and the people

"The fundamental reason for my run is that I think we need to continue the 
movement we helped to begin during the historic Matt Gonzalez for Mayor 
campaign. The incumbent and the other candidates do not share my conviction 
about the central importance of organizing the progressive movement" -- 
Lucrecia Bermúdez

Iraqi Unions file complaint against the Occupation Forces and their Iraqi 
Governing Council for anti-labor practices

"Hundreds of thousands of workers in Iraq are currently unemployed (70% of the 
workforce according to recent survey), and there is widespread fear that their 
economic well-being has been taken out of their control and in fact depends on 
the occupying forces."

"In the current situation, Iraqi workers fear that the decisions made by the 
occupying forces, particularly in the economic field with privatization, would 
continue the plundering of the Iraqi resources by the multinational 
corporations."

Green Party membership rejects Early Endorsements for candidates in D5 and D9, 
defeating proposals by the "leadership"

By Gina Alvarez

The San Francisco Green Party is a strange political animal.

On one side it has produced stunning campaigns of candidates who flashed 
apparently out of nowhere to win offices, increasing the prestige and standing 
of the party. In spite of having only 3% registration in the City, the number 
of voters who identify with the party is probably closer to 20% with potential 
supporters at even a higher percentage.

by N. Renuka Uthappa

(HERE) Local 2 endorsed Green Party candidate Matt Gonzalez in San Francisco?s 
2003 mayoral election. Gonzalez nearly won that election, garnering 47 percent

How Bush and the US lost the War and Occupation of Iraq

The US already has lost the War and Occupation of Iraq. Why are Bush, Democrats 
and Republicans, continuing to press ahead?

By Carlos Petroni

Let?s face it, George W. Bush and the US have already lost the war and 
occupation of Iraq. The only thing remaining is to find out how many more 
people, both Iraqis and US soldiers, will need to die before the US Armed 
Forces are chased out of Iraq for good and the Bush administration - along with 
their Democratic and Republican supporters in Congress - admit their failure.
