Working Families Party Tries to Undermine the Anti-Fracking Movement the Way It Undermined the Anti-War Movement 4 Years Ago
Critique from a Green Party member: Working Family Party told anti-war voters to support pro-war candidates on their line in 2006, and after they won, never said another word about being anti-war. Now, when it is just a few days after the Green Party nominates a strong anti-fracking candidate for Governor, Howie Hawkins, the WFP comes out with a faux anti-fracking action alert. The Working Families Party in NY should be called the “We’re Faux Progressives” Party.

Top Kill is Dead: Comments on the Gulf Oil Blowout from a Geologist
A geologist suggests a better solution to BP than Top Kill. The better solution is: Drill 4 vertical relief wells around the existing Gulf of Mexico blowout well to reduce the pressure. He believes that will then allow BP to seal this well, once the pressure drops.
