Nader and Associates Letter to President Obama on GM’s IPO – The Nader Page

Posted on November 12, 2010 by iwilder

The U.S. government bailout of, and acquisition of a majority share in, General Motors was an exceptional action, taken in response to exceptional circumstances. The U.S. stake in GM obviously poses novel managerial challenges to the government. The appropriate response to those challenges, however, is not to run from the responsibility through passive ownership and […]

Green Party New York: Hawkins Calls on New Yorkers to Reject Bigotry of Carl Paladino

Posted on October 12, 2010 by iwilder

Carl Paladino’s statements yesterday against homosexuals is just the most recent example of his bigotry, racism, sexism, zenophobia, and general mean spirit.
