It is important that we work with and support the people's grassroots movements in Haiti as they work to rebuild Haiti and stop the a temp of international corporate takeovers.

Open Letter from Chavannes,
Translated from Spanish

Comrades,
There is a dangerous new earthquake more dangerous for the long-term than than which occurred on January 12. It is not a threat but a very strong attack on peasant agriculture, on the farmers, on biodiversity, on native seeds that we are defending, on what remains of our environment in Haiti.
The Haitian government is using the earthquake to sell or give away the country to the imperialist forces and their principal instruments which are the multinationals. La Via Campesina identified the transnationals as one of the most powerful enemies of the people, and the pesticide businesses as principal enemies of peasant agriculture, the environment in general and the climate in particular.
I remember at the last meeting of the CCI, I said that in Haiti, our campaign against the transnationals begins with the struggle against the agrofuels businesses because the people do not know much about Monsanto, which still doesn't have operations in Haiti. The news of Monsanto's presence through WINNER and USAID arrived about 15 days after COCHABAMBA.
Monsanto is using the earthquake with the anti-national criminal complicity of the government of Rene Preval to enter Haiti to enter through a "gift of death," which is 475 tons of GMO maize. This gift of death has as its objective: to open the door of the country to this powerful company that is destroying the planet, which is destroying peasant agriculture, with the farmers.
We cannot accept that. We must begin to mobilize against this project, against Monsanto in Haiti. We need a strong unit in Haiti and a strong international solidarity to confront Monsanto and all the forces of death that want to end the full sovereignty of this small country that took its independence in the blood of its sons and daughters since 1804.
The MPP gave the sign of the struggle with a statement on RADIO (VWA Peyizan) VOICE OF THE PEASANTS and other Radios asking farmers to bury and burn all the maize seeds given by the Ministry of Agriculture. We are planning a big march from the CEDE of the MPP of Papaye to the city of Hinche on the occasion of International Environment Day on June 5. We will make the march on Friday June 4th. We will invite the the organizations of the LVC and others to be present. It's one step among many that we must take.
We will contact all the peasant organizations and allied organizations to design the strategy of struggle. We ask now for the solidarity of sister organizations and international allies.
LONG LIVE HAITI'S SOVEREIGNTY, LONG LIVE FOOD SOVEREIGNTY, LONG LIVE THE RIGHTS OF THE MOTHER LAND, LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE'S SOLIDARITY!
ORGANIZATION OR DEATH.
Chavannes Jean-Baptiste
Spokesman for the MPP and MPNKP

GPBC Journal: Green Party calls for an end to the “bipartisan economic war” on Blacks and Latinos/as, who suffer the brunt of the subprime crisis and economic meltdown � - Green Party News

OntheWilderSide - 3rd Mar 2010

Blacks and Latinos were primary targets for Lending corporations offering high-interest subprime loans, and were thus disproportionately hit by the subprime Mortgage crisis. Blacks were especially vulnerable to such loans because they were denied the equity that whites have long enjoyed, a result of Federal Housing Administration redlining and racial Discrimination in the granting of housing loans and Mortgages during the mid 20th century.

Green Party Watch - 12th Mar 2010

Rich Whitney , the Illinois Green Party’s 2010 candidate for governor who earned over 10% of the vote in 2006, has released a detailed working paper with the title “How we can solve the Budget Crisis in Illinois and build a Full Employment economy with good jobs for all who need them” . By way of introduction, Whitney writes, “ I do not contend that this platform is perfect. I do contend that it presents a far better alternative than anything offered by the candidates of..."  Read more

Green Party gubernatorial primary candidate S. Deacon Alexander, urges voters to Stand Together to Say No to Nazi’s!

“As part of its Reclaim the Southwest campaign, National Socialist Movement (NSM) has obtained permit for a Nazi rally at LA City Hall.  Nazis are on the march, after decades of covert organizing. They soon arrive in LA for a national conference.  NSM’s call for an all-White U.S.  NSM has chapters across the U.S., with strong presence in Riverside County, where a number of anti-immigrant demonstrations have been held.

NSM’s also support death penalty for all LGBTQ’s, and have a history of racist violence and execution style murders.

Deacon Alexander urges you to Stand Together with him, to Say No to Nazi’s! A non-violent demonstration is being organized Saturday, Saturday April 17, 10:00am, at the Triforium statue, on Temple and Main Streets in downtown LA.

A city-wide planning meeting to Say No to Nazi’s will be held Saturday April 3 6pm, at Chuco’s Justice Center, 1137 East Redondo Blvd, Inglewood (3 blocks west of Crenshaw at West Blvd., one block north of Florence). The Black Riders, a present-day version of Black Panthers, are part of this grassroots community organizing effort.

Both Deacon Alexander and The Black Riders have joined hands with No Nazis In LA Coalition, whose stated objectives are:

• Send the Nazis packing,
• Support human rights and self determination for Black, Brown, Native, Asian, gay and poor and working people,
• Say No to racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, imperialism and genocide,
• Do not accept penning by police.

Deacon says; “I hope a large collective action of Greens, and all people of conscience, will help promote Green Party core values of human rights, non-violence and social justice. Stand Together to Say No to Nazi’s!”

One Hundred Days to House One Thousand People Boston Activists and MIT Architect Respond to the Haiti Tragedy

Jan Wampler (left), an MIT professor of architecture, and lead organizer Gerthy Lahens explain details of their Haiti project.

 “The emphases should be placed on building small communities to help with the overflow of people from Port-au-Prince, to act as a center for providing housing as well as a new sustainable model for the future,” said Prof.  Wampler in a recent email.  “This is a sad opportunity to try to help in a new way.”

"Jan wants to provide the underserved with the level of quality that only the rich can usually afford," said Lahens. "It touches my heart."

"The poor have only one house," said Wampler. "They should have the best architecture, not makeshift architecture." Boston Globe 

"Lahens, 56, a former MIT research fellow and mother of an alumna, has a six-year history of partnering with professors and students at the institute for the betterment of her homeland. Past projects include purifying water, building a school, aiding fishing villages, and providing computer training. The scope of this project, though, would seem quixotic without Wampler's record of accomplishment: homes in earthquake-ravaged Turkey; schools in China and Sierra Leone; an orphanage in Ecuador; and community centers in Mexico and Thailand."  Boston Globe

US Court of Appeals "Sidesteps" the issue of Mal-apportionment

US Court of Appeals "Sidesteps" the issue of Mal-apportionment 

MAP Appellate Court JUDMENT "Lack of Standing"

United States Court of Appeals

DC Circuit

February 1st, 2010

JUDGMENTORDERED and ADJUDGED that the judgment of the district court be affirmed.
...  The plaintiff is not injured by the operation of the five states’ winner-take-all systems because he does not vote in those states  ...  Accordingly, we affirm the decision of the district court dismissing the plaintiff’s complaint for lack of standing.

Note: In March I will file a petition for a panel rehearing and rehearing en banc. The  panel's Judgment  is in Conflict with a Plethora of Supreme Court Decisions on Standing in Minority Vote Dilution Civil Actions, and  presents a question of exceptional importance by leaving the  congressional representatives of the unbounded states in Constitutional limbo. The decision in point of fact is not even a ruling on the actual case of controversy that formed the basis for my original complaint (mal-apportionment in the counting of votes cast not a mal-apportionment in the casting of votes) . Furthermore, the Panel decision without a declaratory order for proportional apportionment of the 2008 presidential electors for the unbounded southern states now places the pending reapportionment in the house of representatives based on the 2010 census in Constitutional  jeopardy. Accordingly this is a petition that will far exceed the standards for a rehearing en banc pursuant to F. R. App. Pr. 35(b)(1)(A)&(B). 

The Green's Civil Action  to "Democratize the Electoral College" has exposed the constitutional vulnerability of the "winner take all" electoral college and has provided the legal blueprint on the basis of this Appellate Court Judgment that any voter of the states in question now have standing to file a constitutional claim to challenge the congressional apportionment of their respective states.
