Movement in lawsuit against Dick Cheney to fix Electoral College for 2008

Posted on November 2, 2008 by iwilder

Our Green Party colleague Asa Gordon, from the DC Statehood Green Party, is brilliant. In 2000, he filed a lawsuit as a non-attorney, pro se citizen, to try to intervene in the Florida recount.

Green, Republican, & Democratic views of Offshore Drilling

Posted on October 2, 2008 by iwilder

3/30/10 IW: The post below was from 2008. It was pretty prescient. With Obama opening up the Atlantic to drilling, it has become even more useless to try to differentiate the Republican and Democratic positions. Its either the corporate parties or the Green Party. Your choice. Were you sickened as we were by the chants […]
