[Northampton-GP] Fwd: [GP-US Alert] Green Party of the United States Email Update: January 20, 2003

[James Bosman]

Hi Northamton Greens! Are many of you on the email list for the GPUS? What 
about the Mass. Green Party? Let me know off-list if you are and/or if you 
would prefer that I didn't forward the monthly GPUS or MGP email updates to 
our list. FWD emails can sometimes be annoying...

Respectfully,

Jim Bosman

>=========================================================
>1. Greens Highly Visible in Global Protests Against Iraqi War
>
>On Saturday January 18th in dozens of US cities, dozens of national
>capitals outside of the US, uncounted hundreds of thousands of people
>protested against the upcoming US war against Iraq. In many of the
>national capitals outside of the US, Green Parties were major organizers
>of the protests.
>Here in the US several hundred Greens marched in Washington DC, with
>fourteen busloads coming from the Maine Independent Greens alone.
>
>On the CSPAN's Washington Journal coverage of the protests Medea
>Benjamin did a wonderful job.  She was on with Larry Holmes of ANSWER
>and the calls in to the program were very positive.  Someone asked her
>about her politics and she gave a great pitch for the Green Party.
>Jenefer Ellington of the DC Statehood Greens gave the following brief
>speech at the protests:
>
>`I speak for the Statehood Green Party, our national Green Party
>and,...for the Green Parties in 90 nations around the world.
>
>We condemn and reject our government's use of military force to impose
>its will whenever and wherever it suits the national corporate
>interest..
>
>Furthermore, We oppose our government's use of subversion, covert
>action, assassination, intimidation, economic imperialism, environmental
>exploitation and the use of nuclear threats to contain and control the
>governments and economies of other nations.  In particular we reject our
>government's practice of shoring up dictators or meddling in the elected
>governments of other countries... something we have done for years.
>
>We repudiate our government's claim to be a benevolent superpower that
>bestows liberty, equality and self-determination on other peoples or
>other nations. If we want to be a world leader, let us lead the world in
>cooperation, abiding by international law and protecting human rights at
>home and abroad.
>  At present our leadership consists in being the mightiest military
>force and the largest arms seller in the world.
>
>We demand that our government close its overseas bases; remove nuclear
>weapons from our ships; re-commit to the ABM treaty; end research and
>development of nuclear weapons; sign on to the International Criminal
>Court and turn to the UN forum for resolution of international
>conflicts.
>We wrote the UN charter, we signed it and we must honor it.
>
>Finally, If we don't outlaw today's weapons of war, we will destroy
>ourselves and all other forms of life.  We are an endangered species and
>our life-support system, the Earth is at risk. Is there an alternative
>to this prevailing madness?  Yes, Join The Party of Peace, the Green
>Party and together we will turn the ship around.'
>
>
>Outside of DC, Greens were present, visible and covered by the corporate
>press in the other major protest in San Francisco as well as dozens of
>smaller gatherings from Mississippi to Washington State.
>
>=========================================================
>2. Matt Gonzalez Elected President of San Francisco Board of Supervisors
>
>Two years ago, Matt Gonzalez, a former deputy public defender, announced
>he was changing his party registration from Democrat to Green just a few
>days before he was elected to a seat on the San Francisco Board of
>Supervisors.
>At the time, many thought his party switch was political suicide.
>Instead it turned into a stepping stone to board Presidency.
>
>Gonzalez faced two opponents, fellow supervisors Aaron Peskin and Sophie
>Maxwell. For six rounds of voting, no candidate received the necessary
>majority of votes, Gonzalez and Peskin received 4 and Maxwell received
>three votes. Just prior to the seventh round, Aaron Peskin withdrew his
>bid, and two of his supporters voted for Maxwell. However, Peskin and
>one of his supporters voted for Gonzalez giving him a 6-5 victory over
>Sophie Maxwell.
>
>The President of the Board of Supervisors is the second most visible
>political office, coming just after the mayor. He is planning to use his
>office as a platform as a way to build the Greens into a real second
>party in San Francisco. Already, the San Francisco Bay Guardian ran an
>editorial urging a Green challenger to take on the hawkish, free-trader
>Rep. Tom Lantos (D-California.)
>
>Gonzalez is talking about more open debate on the board, about
>organizing a legislative agenda, and about building issue-based
>coalitions to make that agenda happen. He's put at the top of his
>legislative priority a city minimum-wage law. He's promised to continue
>the fight for a publicly owned electric utility.
>
>During last November's race for governor, Green Party candidate Peter
>Camejo won 15 percent of the vote in San Francisco, which was more votes
>than the  Republican candidate Bill Simon polled. San Francisco is well
>on the way to becoming a two-party town, and that second party is the
>Greens.
>
>=========================================================
>3. Maine Greens Raising Seeking Donations for Legislative Office
>
>Last month we reported that the Maine Democrats had denied the Maine
>Independent Green Party bid for a separate office for their State House
>delegation, just like state Democrats and Republicans had.
>
>In the week after Christmas state Democrats changed their mind and
>permitted the Greens to have an office, like the other parties have.
>Rep. John Eder's office isn't in the State House, where the Democrats'
>and Republicans' offices are located. But it's about as close as you can
>get, next door in the Cross State Office Building, where several
>legislative committees meet. "It's very fair," Eder, of Portland, said
>on December 30th. The office will be known as the House Green Minority
>Office.
>
>Maine Independent Greens are raising funds to equip that office. If you
>can donate a computer or know of someone who could, please contact Ben
>Chipman at 207-772-1414, 207-287-6799 or greenindependent at hotmail.com
>
>=========================================================
>4. New York Greens Ballot Status in Judicial Limbo
>
>U.S. District Judge John Gleeson extended a temporary restraining order
>Jan. 16th barring the state from voiding any voter registrations for the
>Green Party and ordering it to allow new members to enroll.
>
>The case stems from the fact that the Green Party received only 41,979
>votes, not the 50,000 votes in November's gubernatorial race needed to
>maintain its status as a recognized party in New York.
>
>State law calls for the party to lose its automatic place on the
>statewide ballot. The party's members become independent voters for
>election purposes, and the party can't enroll new members until it
>achieves ballot status again.
>
>In a lawsuit filed in December in federal court in Brooklyn, the Green
>Party argued that New York is one of only three states that prohibit
>people from enrolling in the party of their choice depending on that
>party's status on the ballot.
>
>The provisions violate the free-association right of the Constitution's
>First Amendment and the 14th Amendment's equal-protection clause,
>according the Green Party's filing with the court.
>
>Jeremy Creelan, the lead attorney for the Green Party said without
>up-to-date voter lists, organizations like the Green Party would
>struggle to contact and organize voters, raise funds and communicate.
>
>"It does have an impact on minor parties' ability to grow, to develop
>and to become major parties," he said. "It also has an impact on voters'
>rights to enroll in the party of their choice."
>
>The party wants the state Board of Elections to keep the present box
>under which voters can identity themselves as members of the Green Party
>or add a blank line on registrations voters could fill in.
>
>Lee Daghlian, a spokesman for the Board of Elections, said while the
>restraining order remains in effect, the state will not change the voter
>registration forms or registration lists.
>
>Judge John Gleeson asked the party and the state Board of Elections to
>submit briefs on several issues by Jan. 30 and said he would issue a
>ruling in the case soon after.
>
>=========================================================
>5. The Coordinated Campaign Committee in 2002
>
>Julie Willebrand of the Green Party of New York and Tony Affigne of the
>Green Party of Rhode Island were USGP delegates to the Federation of the
>Green Parties of the Americas Meeting in the Dominican Republic on
>December 6-8, 2002. Their report can be found the the International
>Committee's website which is at http://www.gp-us.org/committees/intl/
>
>The German Green Party sent a letter supporting the American anti-war
>movement and assured us that as part of the German government, Germany
>will not go to war with Iraq. The German Government with Foreign
>Minister Joschka Fischer (Green Party) will continue to search for a
>peaceful solution. An excerpt of the letter is included in this Update
>as item number 11.
>They also sent their latest Resolution of the Party Council of
>BUNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN on the Iraq Crisis that can be found on the IC
>website as well.
>
>Annie Goeke, co-chair International Committee and MD GP member and Alan
>Kobrin, CC delegate from FLGP and member of the IC, are going to
>participate in the upcoming World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
>Annie Goeke will be part of a panel called "Toward a Culture of Peace,
>Solidarity and Sustainable at the Green World Social Forum conference.
>
>The IC sent out congratulations to Green Party member Wangari Maathi
>success in her campaign.  She was appointed Kenya's Deputy Minister of
>Environment, Natural Resources and Wildlife.  This is a huge step
>towards a more democratic society for Kenyans and for the people of
>Africa. As founder of the Green Belt movement in Kenya, and as a
>renowned activist and speaker on behalf of environmental justice and
>democracy throughout the world, greens around the world are ecstatic
>with
>this news!
>
>The IC Working Policy group is getting organized and now has a listserv
>specifically for work on the national green party platform concerning
>foreign policy.
>
>Green blessings and peace from Annie Goeke

>
>GREEN PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES - ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT for YEAR END 2002
>
>SUMMARY: Donations for the year 2002 = $482k, Expenses = $451k,
>$33k went to states for a net loss for the year of $2k.
>Cash as of the end of the year = $30k. Assets = $35k, Liabilities =
>$8.5k.
>
>(Donations for the month of December = $46k, Expenses = $41k, 3k went to
>states.)
>
>USGP finances were virtually break-even in 2002 with a small net loss of
>$2k, but an increase in cash of $1k. A reserve of $30k was not fully
>funded as hoped, however the party ended the year with $30k in the bank.
>
>The party made the bulk of it's $482k in donations from direct mail,
>with events a distant second. Total cost of direct mail was $176k, total
>cost of events was $53k. The Philly convention generated $32k in income
>and $36k in expenses.
>
>Budget to Actual comparison: Total income of $482k was 91% of budget.
>Total operating expenses of $451k was 121% of budget. Expenses were $78k
>
>over budget, the majority of that was caused by direct mail expense at
>$55k over and telephone at $8k over. Staff and rent were two large items
>that came in on budget.
>
>States' share: States earned $33k in 2002 from USGP. Events were shared
>at 50% of net and generated $55K gross, $15k in cost, for a net of $40k
>which was shared with the respective states.
>The thousand-for-a-thousand program generated $47k in 2002, of which
>$24k elected to share with their states at 50%.
>We had 14 direct mail pieces that states participated in (state
>mailings). These mailings generated $17k gross with a cost of almost
>$17k. Some mailings did not break even, some generated a profit and
>others are in the process of breaking even. As of year end $7k is
>payable to states and will be paid in January, $4k has been paid in
>advance to states for a net payable of $3k.
>
>Overall, the party is financially in good shape with $30k in cash in
>the bank and very little liabilities. 2002 is the first full year of
>operations for USGP. The national party in it's present form was founded
>on 8-1-01.

>7. FUNDRAISING UPDATE - January 2003
>
>                         Jack Uhrich, Finance Director
>
>In 2002, our first full year of systematic fundraising, we were
>moderately successful.  By the end of the year, we had raised
>approximately $500,000 ($250,000 net), and shared approximately $33,000
>of
>that with our state Green Parties.  In 2001, we raised a gross amount of
>approximately $100,000.  Where our donor data base contained about 1000
>people in 2001, we now have over 6000 donors.
>
>The additional funds raised enabled us to open a national office this
>year, to hold a very successful mid-term convention, to implement our
>first national Campaign School and Fundraising Workshop, to
>professionalize
>GREEN PAGES, and to provide much greater support to our state parties
>and
>their candidates than in year's past.
>
>Next year, the USGP Budget calls for us to raise over $800,000.  With
>those additional funds, we will hire more organizing staff, implement
>more Campaign School and Fundraising Workshops, increase our outreach to
>people of color communities, women and other excluded groups, and
>strengthen
>our ties to the 100 international Green Parties around the world.
>
>We will have more details in February about the efforts we plan to put
>forth to raise these funds, after the Coordinating Committee completes
>its discussion and approval of the 2003 budget and fundraising plan.
>
>In the meantime, if you have not given a contribution to the Green Party
>recently,  please go to www.gp.org and do so.  If you have already
>donated, thank you for your support of the Green Party.

>FLOOR MANAGER: Ben Manski, SC, WI Delegate, manski at greens.org
>SUBJECT:  Sponsorship of Green Response to the State of the Union
>THE PROPOSAL: On January 28th, 2003, President Bush will deliver the
>annual "State of the Union" address to the United States Congress.  In
>anticipation of Bush's address, the D.C. Statehood Green Party has
>organized a counter-address/rally in order to deliver an alternative
>evaluation of the state of the union by the Green Party.  This will be
>the Green response to Bush's address.
>    To date, organizers in D.C. have confirmed the participation of the
>Band Sonic Youth, as well as the lead signer of Fugazi, and various
>other artists, in a permitted mass rally to take place directly in front
>of
>the United States Capitol.  Organizers have also secured the
>participation
>of United for Peace, Peace Action, and the Institute for Policy Studies,
>and each of these organizations has committed to financially supporting
>the event.
>    The program calls for a response to be delivered by a Green elected
>official or spokesperson immediately following the end of Bush's speech,
>thus achieving maximum national media exposure.  At the request of D.C.
>organizers, the Steering Committee of the Green Party of the United
>States has deliberated on who should serve the party in this role, and
>has agreed that San Francisco Supervisor Matt Gonzalez, the new #2
>elected
>official in that city, is most appropriate for the role.  Supervisor
>Gonzalez is still considering the request.
>    This is an expedited vote due to the pace of the organizing
>involved.  Several organizations have committed significantly more
>resources to the costs of the organizing than is requested of the
>national party, and the D.C. Statehood Greens have committed funds as
>well.
>Costs include stage, sound, promotion, and transportation.
>TIME LINE: Until January 28th, 2003
>IMPLEMENTATION - RESOURCES: Allocation of $1,000 by the national party
>to this project, for the transportation of Gonzalez, or another
>representative, to D.C., as well as to contribute to basic costs of
>logistics.  Additionally, participation by the Media Committee and
>Steering Committee in promoting the Green response ahead of time in the
>media, and in assisting in the drafting of the response.
>Note - Normally this would have been handled by a dispersement of funds
>from the Steering Committee, but without an approved 2003 budget the
>Steering Committee had no discretionary funds to disperse.
>ANNOUCED VOTE RESULTS: APPROVED with 76 delegates representing 35
>states and one caucus voted in favor.
