After Midnight Sabbath Morning ~ Gracias Olga y Todo~
Keep in mind that our personal perspectives will differ with our connected realities on a geo-political existential level. No one but I can see through my eyes and I am intrinsically independent not tied to any political party.
I know the two-headed monster of the Democratic / Republican Party dominates electoral politics in Amerika, but the divide-and-conquer formula works both ways, especially when there are operating political vacuums and other ‘issues in question’. Liberation is a process, not a final conclusion.
For starters, I wish all of us would centralize our online communications. Join the Aztlannet_News Yahoo Group as an online forum for general discussions. Are you reading this Sister Olga and Oct29 List Members? Sadly, we cannot even get into the same online group together, let alone reason the truth together for the sake of unity based upon shared positions and principles, even if we agree to disagree on some matters.

I love and respect Companero Camejo and appreciate many of the Green Party positions. However, he is not a real winnable candidate and he has no illusions about actually winning. Democratic Candidate Angelides has the best chance of actually winning among the candidates running for Governor of California. I do not want to see Bush-buffoon Arnold S. win again!
Politics is still war without bloodshed. The Green Party and other independent candidates may win on the local level but in a big election for high office it would be impossible in these reactionary times. Do the math, connect the dots and think outside the ballot box.
Over the years, Latinos (including Mexicans, Hispanics and Chicanos) have not gone into the Green Party en masse and have historically been Democrats for generations. There is no cohesive U.S. left-wing movement or a strong leading progressive party that can swing national elections. We need to start looking at the body politic, not only the wings!
Inside the United States, there is no single strong Third Party emerging on the horizon in the near future or beyond. A loose collection of vanguard elements with common interests can together form a collective voting machine on a transitory basis. The kaleidoscope of Amerika is the most diverse and divided country in human history.
The majority of the votes can win an election unless it is a rigged-fraudulent election and/or a quasi-legal coup-d-etat, then, politics can be transformed into war with bloodshed along with regime change and a provisional government.
In essence, it is still comes down to the ballot or the bullet!
The vanguard ideal is to help guide the people through these learning experiences so that they will eventually question the whole basis of state power. We need to fathom the concept of strategic empowerment in the context of a protracted people’s war. We should look and plan ahead to 2008 and beyond!

I disagree with you-voting for the lesser of two evils means you still vote for an evil. Angelides is not necesarryily evil but there is an alternative, and I am surprised as a Chicano activist you ignored it- that is voting for Peter Camejo, who is far more articulate and has a bettter platform that the Democrats

I do have a history of seeing Phil at rallies when we needeed support for collective bargaining legislation for Latino farmworkers. I know that Phil supports drivers licenses for undocumented, I know that Phil will bring the National Guard back from the border and he does not support repatriation or deportation of illegal workers. He also wants to make sure that undocumented university students have fair access to financial aid for school. Phil Angelides represents my interest as a woman, a person of color and a working class person. My mother's pension and benefits were fought for by Phil Angelides. I work in social services and healthcare and I know that IHSS workers wages were fought for and protected by Phil Angelides.
I have always agreed with you Stephen and Virginia, you have my deepest respect, but my goal is to get Latinos to a place where we are at the bargaining and decision making table and not serving it, hypothetically or literally. I can not risk Arnold being in the Governor's office any longer. Phil Angelides is loyal to Latino issues and I stand with my elder Dolores Huerta in support of Felipe Angelides.

Speaking of Oct. 29, I remember seeing Peter Camejo at the anti-minuteman rally, but, once again, I didn't see Phony Phil...

Hola Dan E. and All ~ Who is SouthWest Asia Television?
I met Brother Phil Angelides yesterday @ the Campagin Office and attended a Meeting of Latinos who in the main were there to see what his positions are all about. Afterwards, there was a general agreement to support Phil Angelides for Governor in opposition to the Fascist Arnold S.
For security reasons, I can see the need to search backpacks to a point and I called the Angelides office about this, plus, I heard how security took the handicapped parking spaces at Sac City, but I was not there. Nevertheless, this should not let it blunt our vision in regards to our support for a winnable governor's race against the Fascist Arnold S.
Who are our friends and who are our enemies!
This is typical of the so-called Left wing dividing itself all on its own and allowing by default the right-wing reaction to win in elections.
It is naive to assume left is good and right is bad as a knee-jerk reaction based upon left-wing labels. We should look at it all in terms of what is in the best interests of the people's basic survival needs, what is good for the people and which candidate would best serve the people's intersts.
In terms of community work the general focus should be on doing basic voter education/registration work for any party anyone wants to be in and get people out to vote.
Hell, the Iraqi people have a lot more voter perticipation that U.S. voters and U.S. voters do not generally have a gun to their head when they vote!!
P.S. Remember the October 29th List was created in the first place for Immigrant Rights!

Hello everyone:
This is the last reminder to please join us at 16th & Broadway, in Sacramento, tomorrow (Saturday, Sept. 30th), from 5:30pm to 7:30pm to protest the U.S. occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan and the Israeli occupations of Lebanon and Palestine.
We're also encouraging people to come and show support for various Green Party and Peace and Freedom Party candidates, rather than the "business-as-usual" Democratic candidates.
Since we'll be out there exercising our 1st Amendment rights, and supporting civil rights generally, nobody's participation will be conditioned upon his or her willingness to waive the right to be free from unreasonable searches, as was required yesterday at the Phil Angelides rally. Yes, that's right: the college students were required to subject themselves to backpack searches in order to protest the war with Phony Phil.
But we promise not to do that! So please spread the word and bring any compelling signs, displays, banners, or attention-getters. We look forward to seeing you!
Stephen & Virginia Pearcy
P.S. Don't forget to add http://corruptionexposer.blogspot.com/ to your favorites list!
