		<description><![CDATA[The following commentary was written by colleague David Samuels and first appeared in the March 8 - 15 edition of Hartford News. David is founder of the Community Party in Connecticut.

Facebook was on fire last week as liberals danced on the grave of conservative race baiting wingnut Andrew Breitbart, who died suddenly on March 1st of still unknown natural causes. I responded by posting a status on my page asking liberals how they were so different from Breitbart when I see that like him, many of them have never discussed issues such as police violence against people of color or racial economic disparity...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Where is California Labor? Is anyone home?

At the same time that workers are under attack nationally, the California Democratic governor and the Democratic controlled legislature have passed a budget with massive cutbacks in education and social services. Marty Hittleman, the past president of the California Federation of Teachers, has said that, as a direct result of these fee increases at California Community Colleges, 200,000 working class and poor students will be pushed out of the schools.

In order to address this attack that threatens public education, Professor Peter Mathews at Cypress College in Orange County and his colleagues and students are seeking support for an Oil Extraction Tax ballot initiative that would tax oil in California and raise $3 billion for education at Community Colleges, the State Colleges, the UC system and K-12.]]></description>

Dear Sarah,
<strong> </strong>
You and I first crossed paths on a fairly pleasant day in Ketchikan, Alaska, during the lonely part of your effort to unseat the deplorable Governor Frank Murkowski in 2006. Like you, I had a booth at the Ketchikan Blueberry Festival - and neither of us were very busy. You were the “outsider” tracking down the hometown boy, Murkowski, and I was the “radical” environmentalist undermining his work. The conservative town on Revillagigedo Island didn’t care much for either you or me at the time.
<strong> </strong>
I approached you on your stroll of solitude around the festival, and you saw my approach out of the corner of your eye. If the signs and the t-shirts and the postcards at my booth didn’t label me a “greenie” right away, I know my introduction did: Gregory Vickrey of the Tongass Conservation Society and Alaska Conservation Voters, how do you do?]]></description>

Anchorage, Alaska - On February 8, 2011, Alaska’s Big Village Network (ABVN) affiliate Desa Jacobsson began a fast in protest of the comprehensive violation of subsistence rights and continued de-humanization of Alaskan Natives by Governor Sean Parnell, Calista Corporation, and the Federal Subsistence Board.

Ms. Jacobsson began the fast in order to raise awareness of archaic and repressive policies implemented and contrived under Governor Parnell and Federal program managers, as well as to press for sweeping measures that will formally recognize the inherent right of Alaskan Natives to live as sovereign Nations. Policies dictating the management of fish and game have been particularly onerous in removing Tribal government authority from the role of public trustee and the provisions of customary use of Alaska’s vital subsistence resources.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Este artículo continúa las series que han sido presentadas por Cory Morningstar y Gregory Vickrey y forma parte de su anticipado y controversial libro y proyecto multimedia que serán lanzados en 2011. Es prácticamente seguro suponer que, en las arenas de la política moderna, un acercamiento a la emergencia producida por el cambio climático a través de las directivas convencionales no va a funcionar. En verdad, en todo movimiento, desde los planes de financiamiento de los costos de salud hasta las guerras americanas y ocupaciones en el extranjero, lo convencional ha fracasado. Y mientras nosotros poseemos muchas habilidades para inventar excusas y proveer análisis para algunos aspectos de ese fracaso, no somos muy buenos para determinar otros mecanismos alternativos para cambiar. El movimiento por el cambio climático no es ninguna excepción a esta realidad.

We are especially grateful to: United Progressives &#124; CounterCurrents &#124; OpEd News &#124; EcoSocialism &#124; Huntington (WV) News This piece continues the series being presented by Cory Morningstar and Gregory Vickrey and is part of their anticipated and controversial book and multimedia project due out in 2011. It is safe to assume that in modern political arenas, an approach to the climate change emergency through conventional directives will not work. Indeed, across every movement, from single payer health care to American wars and occupations abroad, the conventional has failed. And while we are very skilled at making excuses and providing analysis for some aspects of that failure, we are not very good at determining other, alternative mechanisms for change.

		<description><![CDATA[An Open Letter to the Left Establishment Posted on December 14, 2010 by mattgonzalez Flickr photography by Snapies. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE LEFT ESTABLISHMENT An Open Letter to the Left Establishment This letter is a call for active support of protest to Michael Moore, Norman Solomon, Katrina van den Heuvel, Michael Eric Dyson, Barbara Ehrenreich, Thomas Frank, Tom Hayden, Bill Fletcher Jr., Jesse Jackson Jr., and other high profile progressive supporters of the Obama electoral campaign. With the Obama administration beginning its third year, it is by now painfully obvious that the predictions of even the most sober Obama supporters were overly optimistic. Rather than an ally, the administration has shown itself to be an implacable enemy of reform. It has advanced repeated assaults on the New Deal safety net (including the previously sacrosanct Social Security trust fund), jettisoned any hope for substantive health care reform, attacked civil rights and<a href="http://gregoryvickrey.com/2010/12/an-open-letter-to-the-left-establishment/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GVConsulting stands with The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), Public Citizen, and other entities in strong opposition to the NAFTA-style trade deal between the United States and Korea. In these economic times, the United States cannot afford to perpetuate and expand the failures of policy-making as seen in the Bush-era agreement with Peru as well as those with other states under the guise of free trade. No course of action within the Korean agreement will fulfill the needs of the unemployed here at home; strengthen the manufacturing base and small businesses in the United States; raise the labor standards of the Korean state; preserve and enhance local and regional environments; and protect consumers. Standing at the side of IAM, Public Citizen, and other partners, GVConsulting encourages every member of Congress to reject the Korean agreement outright.]]></description>
