Third Gubernatorial Option for NY: A Green New Deal? » New Deal 2.0

Posted on October 21, 2010 by iwilder

BC: How do you view our current political system?Guv cand Howie Hawkins (G-NY): Liberals have to realize that the Democratic Party is a complete dead end. Obama is all image but not policy substance. If you look closely, he’s really corporate and conservative. Cuomo is the lesser evil. He says he will slash everything. He’s […]

Great video: Nader and Hawkins

Opportunity embraced: Howie Hawkins, center stage | syracuse.com

Posted on October 21, 2010 by iwilder

For the most part, his role in the debate seemed to leave a good impression. The New York Times spoke of Hawkins’ “earnest pleas” and described him as a candidate who offered “substance.” Former Republican gubernatorial candidate John Faso was not so kind; when a post-debate caller to YNN offered praise for Hawkins, Faso used […]

Posted on October 21, 2010 by iwilder

Hawkins has held news conferences all over the state on such topics as shutting down nuclear power plants and banning the planting of genetically modified crops.

L mag: Who is Howie Hawkins and Why Is He Debating Paladino and Cuomo Tonight?

Posted on October 21, 2010 by iwilder

This is a couple of days late, but it is an interesting article. A vote for Cuomo is a vote for his conservative economic program. If you’re a progressive, a Cuomo vote is a wasted vote. It gives away your power. Cuomo will take you for granted, because what are you going to do, vote […]

Cuomo and Paladino Debate Recap – Both Lost the Debate Last Night – Esquire

Posted on October 20, 2010 by iwilder

The fact is that the audience last night responded most warmly and excitedly to McMillan’s so-crazy-it-just-might-work rent reduction plan, and Hawkins’s general decency and exasperation, and Redlich’s idealistic anti-government stance, and Davis’s tongue-lashings. These are not, in the parlance, “viable” candidates. But they — well, Hawkins and Redlich, anyway — offer viable plans. via Cuomo […]
