Mayor Jason West to Run for Re-election

I remember the first time I heard of Jason West, it was April of 2003. I got an email forwarded on from a friend in our local Green Party, it said that in New Paltz, New York, a slate of Greens were running for Village office. They had the school behind them, and they are going to at least make it interesting, did anyone what to come down and help? I don't think anyone made the 4 hour drive from Rochester to help out that final weekend, we we're very busy working on a City School Board and City Council race. Besides, College students rarely show up to vote in May elections. I didn't really think about it again. Well, at least not until I got the next email. The email that said they won, they all won. A Green will be a mayor in New York! Greens got elected. Now, I am fairly optimistic but I figured it would be a while before we started winning even the small races.

This idea of elected officials was a new idea to us. I thought we could and should be winning small races, I just didn't expect us to be winning anytime soon. Oddly enough, 5 months later I was expecting us to win a seat on the City Council. Dare to hope.

At our next canvassing effort, we probably had about 30 volunteers in an abandoned parking lot. Our candidate for City Council held up a newspaper with that famous picture of Jason, Rebecca, and Julia leaning on the fence. He said what makes this picture so special, and so amazing, is these 3 Greens are elected officials, these Greens won an election in New York. The whole Green electoral landscape in Rochester really changed shape at that moment. People believed that we could find small races and win them.


Since then, one Green has been elected to a School Board in a Rochester suburb, and Green campaigns, candidate recruitment, strategy, and race selection have dramatically improved. Our size still limits our options, but we are moving forward, and we will be successful. We will find those special candidates and run in the right races, we will wear out our shoes but we will do so knowing it was worth it. Jason West gave us that.


In the weeks following the New Paltz victories, we heard stories, possibly tall tales, of the old guard, the Democrats, and the media freaking out about what a Green Mayor would do to their wonderful Village over the next four years. To be fair, not all of them thought he would last four years, or even a year. We heard the inaugural celebration included solar powered speakers, vegan/organic snacks, and of course, puppets! We heard the joy and celebration amongst Greens and the fear amongst the Democrats.

Then we heard about the really good stuff. The new Village Board changed the practices that were polluting their river. They added solar panels to the Village Hall. They worked on a strategic plan to preserve open space and implement affordable housing. They took on environmental responsibility and economic sustainability when they challenged the old guard's practice of trucking their sewage 250 miles away to landfill in Waterloo, NY, and began work on the first of three sewage reed beds for the Village waste.

More doors opened for the Green Party. Not only could Greens win, they could govern. The Village of New Paltz gave Greens the chance to prove it, and they sure did.


Julia Walsh was never registered in the Green Party, and became a Democrat. She allowed her participation on the Village Board to fade a bit after her non-profit organization was founded.

Mayor Jason West, and Deputy Mayor Rebecca Rotlzer held onto their values as the Democratic Party tried to tempt them away. Jason and Rebecca are two of the most important Greens in the country, and have both played critical roles in the advancement of our party.

Less than one year into their first term in a crowed Village park, Mayor Jason West solemnized the marriage of two of his best friends. Jason presided over 11 more same-sex marriages that day. When Jason was arrested, Rebecca Rotlzer took over and married an additional dozen same-sex couples. Local Clergy took over when injunctions were filed, prohibiting the elected officials from performing additional ceremonies.


I watched the events live on CNN, I was so proud of Jason and Rebecca, I was so proud to be a Green. They showed every Democrat and every politician that there is a difference between saying you support something, and actually supporting something. For many people, that difference allowed their lives to change forever.


At that time Governor Eliot Spitzer was the New York State Attorney General and he chose to stand against Mayor Jason West. It was also Eliot Spitzer who decided same-sex marriages were against the New York State Constitution. Eliot Spitzer felt he was protecting the people of New York State by going after Mayor West. Two years later, Spitzer would secure the Pride Agenda endorsement and go on to win the gubernatorial election. Remember that name, he'll run for President some day.


Contrary to media spin and the Democratic Party, same-sex marriages are not forbidden in the New York State Constitution. However, you do need a valid marriage license and the State only prints applications with a male and a female entry. Eliot Spitzer isn't planning on changing the application.

A couple of years ago, a professor of mine was doing research on reed bed technology and he found an article about Jason, Rebecca and Julia prior to their election. The article listed four things they wanted to do.


1. Renewable Energy on Village Buildings.
2. Affordable Housing in the Village.
3. Reed Bed Sewage Treatment.
4. Support Same-Sex Couples in the right to Marriage.

I was surprised to see number four in the article, I didn't know they campaigned on that. They didn't think they where empowered to marry same-sex couples when they where elected, but they did support equal rights.


My professor read the article out load and said "Wow, imagine if they actually did all of that".

I smiled and said "They did."

How many elected officials have you seen make good on their top four campaign pledges in their first two years in office? How many elected officials have made campaign pledges that where this ambitious?


Jason and Rebecca showed the people that there is an alternative solution. Democrats consistently say they support the issues of the people, while making the claim that they are not empowered to really make change happen. Politicians always say they are fighting for the people, but they never look like they have really been fighting for anything. In New Paltz, a few committed people changed the world.


The Democrats don't want the people to know that change is attainable. They don't want people to know that they really do have the power to change their community. The success of Jason West threatens the power structure enjoyed by the Democrats. Mayor West is breaking up a monopoly in New York.

Rebecca is now a Co-Chair of the Green Party of the United States, and is finishing up her term as a Village Trustee. Neither Julia nor Rebecca are running for re-election. No other Greens within the small Village felt they could serve, leaving Jason West along to run with two non-Green running mates.


The Democrats are running two party insiders, two members of that old guard.
One is an elected official looking to change job titles to get Jason West
out of office; the other, an appointed government official. Jason has championed the issues of the people and won the support of the Villagers. The Democrats were left with only one strategy: co-opt Jason's platform and claim that the Democrats also support the issues of the people, just like Eliot Spitzer.

Jason has altered the political landscape of his Village that much.

We now have a situation where someone has proven to champion and enact this platform and is running for re-election. His opponent has not enacted or championed these efforts in the past but is now taking credit for the change and promising more change. Jason's opponent is also using big money and big donations to bring this false packaging to newer students who where not around for the last 4 years.

Jason's opponent even has a volunteer button on his website that is labeled "Real Greens Click Here."


Election Day is May 1st. Jason needs your help. The New Paltz Greens can not compete with big money politics. Jason needs money to host events and more canvassing materials. Jason needs help getting his website up and running and could use a professional team working on this aspect. Jason needs to print more materials for his campus voter registration drive. Jason needs to host meetings to draw endorsements from additional Labor and LGBT groups. Jason needs prominent Greens and activists to write endorsements and to visit New Paltz this month to help rally support. Please consider sending in a check and hosting a Jason West house party to raise funds from your local Greens (don't forget Jason's book "Dare to Hope" is available on GP.org and
it makes a great tool for house parties).

Elaine Brown to Seek Green Party Presidential Ticket

Former Black Panther Party leader, noted author, community and prison justice activist Elaine Brown announced this week that she intends to seek the Green Party¹s nomination for a presidential bid in 2008. "The 2006 elections signified a mass rejection of Bush¹s policies--not a shift to the Democrats. We have arrived at a powerful moment when the majority of the country is seeking a political alternative, toward embracing progressive values and realizing a progressive agenda. I haven¹t seen this potential since the 1960s."

Brown, who ran as a Green in the 2005 Brunswick, Georgia, mayoral election where Republicans succeeded in illegally removing her name from both the ballot and the voter roll, intends to run on a platform that addresses the interests of poor and working families, in terms of living wages, free healthcare, decent housing and increased funding for public education and higher education; ending the war in Iraq; restoring the environment and bringing about economic parity. Strategically, she intends to target non-voters, specifically women under 30 and African Americans, constituencies she believes are not represented by the nearly identical agendas of the Democrat and Republican parties, stating these crucial constituencies "have the power to build up an alternative party to truly challenge the status quo."

"I believe I have the ability to raise consciousness among disaffected and disenfranchised poor and working people, women and blacks, to galvanize them to vote for a real second party. Such a broadening of the Green Party base will allow us to start winning big time, at the state level and nationally, so that we can overturn some of the most egregious policies and laws (like the three strikes crime bill which has so devastated black communities) and introduce progressive legislation. There are a lot of great community organizations working for change, performing Sisyphean tasks that cannot address the fundamental problems. I believe the time is right to use the ballot to make the kinds of changes we know must be made to serve the people we represent."

Brown stated she is running as a Green because: "Not only does the Green Party support reparations for slavery, but the party¹s ten key values represent the values and interests of poor and working people. Only the Green Party offers clear positions on the needs of the people, in terms of a living wage, decent housing, food, education, and medical care. The Democrats and Republicans offer black and poor people nothing."

When asked what she hopes to achieve with her run, Brown said: "I know the party can earn a significant increase in votes and membership, which will increase our viability to take congressional seats, state house seats, and local offices; so that we can really start changing the way government operates."

Green March for Peace

Greens also marched on the Pentagon (though snow stopped many of the New York buses from getting there)below is the text of Cythia McKinney's speech.

A MESSAGE FROM CYNTHIA McKINNEY

My friends! Some great things are happening and I want to update you on them all--or at least the ones I can remember right now!

First of all, St. Patrick's Day is my birthday and I received a wonderful message from my son saying how atypical his mom is: she spent her birthday protesting the government! Well, the message was wonderful because he at least remembered it was my birthday! We're making progress here . . .

But that day was incredible. First of all it was so darn cold my mouth was freezing as I was trying to give my remarks!!! However, the crowd was enthusiastic. They had to be. The march organizers told me that 60 buses couldn't make it out of the north because of the weather! Yes, the night before it was snowy and sleeting. Driving was treacherous. So the ones who did make it, braved the elements to be there. People came from Texas, Indiana, and all over to be there. I went up with my contingent from Georgia! I'm renaming my remarks, "Voting for Complicity" because that's exactly what the Democratic vote to fund the surge and Bush's wars is. Here's a youtube link of my remarks:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G3eq-I7CzM&mode=related&search=

As you know, I participated in the Malaysia Peace Commission and it was mentioned in an article describing how Bush and Blair have opened themselves up for prosecution. Believe me, the international community has established the mechanism for justice and we must demand that justice be served to the international community and the American community betrayed by its leaders. The March 18, 2007 London Sunday Telegraph article starts out: "The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said in an interview that he can envision a scenario in which President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair could one day face war-crimes charges at The Hague." The article goes on to mention the Malaysia effort organized by former Prime Minister Mahatir.

I have been asked to join the Hurricane Katrina Tribunal and to take its findings to the Malaysia effort as a crime against humanity. And as I mentioned before, I have accepted the invitation to join the Brussells Tribunal on Iraq, too. I promise I'll send more information on these efforts!

I will continue the work for justice. I invite you all to please visit my website allthingscynthiamckinney.com and if you can, please make a donation to help us retire our 2006 campaign debt. All donations are greatly appreciated and much needed. It's difficult to move forward for 2008 if we haven't settled our responsibilities for 2006. You can proceed directly to the donation page at http://supporters.cynthiaforcongress.com/supporters.cgi. Thank you in advance for your help and support!

I am meeting such committed Americans as I travel around the country. Please feel free to drop me a line at this e-mail address. For those who are not on my regular list, just tell me to put you on my updates list. For those of you who are, please share these updates with your internet circle of friends. Let's get the word out that the hard work of taking our country back is being done every day by a small, but committed core group who are not afraid of the machinery of intimidation being hurtled at all Americans on a regular basis. Think about that the next time you find yourself undressing at the airport. Only we can save our country from what it is becoming.

Once again, thank you for your support! Here are my birthday remarks in front of the Pentagon:

Cynthia McKinney
Remarks in front of the Pentagon
"Voting for Complicity"
March 17, 2007

Well, it seems that George Bush and Democratic Leaders were right.

They confidently told us that not only would Democrats fund the surge, but that the Democrats would not stop action in Iran, too.

Now, we are not surprised when the unelected, illegitimate Administration of George Bush ignores us, but we are shocked that the Democratic majority in Congress chose war over us as we say Bring our troops home now!

The answer is clear: Our country has been hijacked.

What about a livable wage for America's workers?

What about the right of return for Katrina survivors?

What about repealing the Patriot Act, the Secret Evidence Act, and the Military Tribunals Act?

Why is impeachment "off the table"?

Our country is bankrupt yet this institution, the Pentagon, has "lost" 2.3 trillion dollars!

I want that money back . . .

For jobs . . . for health care . . . for education . . . for our veterans!

The Democrats have become so timid they won't even repeal the Bush tax cuts as a strategy to deal with a bankrupt nation.

Seems the story is the same: more money for war, but we can't feed the poor.

It's hard to believe, but now the Democrats are full partners in George Bush's wars.

And by funding his wars, the Democratic Congress is explicitly complicit.

Complicit in war crimes!
Complicit in torture!
Complicit in crimes against humanity!
Complicit in crimes against peace!

The FBI spied on us;
Condoleezza, Dick, and George lied to us.

In 1957, Dr. King observed that "Both political parties have betrayed the cause of justice."

And so it must be repeated today.

Our beloved America is dividing again into two Americas. Our struggle is for nothing less than the soul of our country.

We want an America that is respected in the commonwealth of man; we want our values to shine like a beacon throughout the world.

As an American of conscience, I hereby declare my independence from every bomb dropped, every threat leveled, every civil liberties rollback, every child killed, every veteran maimed, every man tortured.

And I sadly declare my independence from the leaders who let it happen.

We will not stop. We will win. We will take our country back!

AP - Two county election workers were sentenced
to 18 months in prison for rigging a recount of
2004 presidential election ballots so they could
avoid a longer, detailed review. Jacqueline
Maiden, 60, a Cuyahoga County election
coordinator who was the board's third-highest
ranking employee, and ballot manager Kathleen
Dreamer, 40, each were convicted of a felony
count of negligent misconduct of an elections
employee. Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court
Judge Peter Corrigan allowed the women to remain
free on bail pending appeal, but indicated he
thought there was a more widespread conspiracy
among election officials. "I can't help but feel
there's more to this story," Corrigan said.

BRAD BLOG - Just for the record, only 6 votes
registered for Kerry instead of Bush in each of
Ohio's precincts would have changed the result of
that election.

Blowback from Ohio's 2004 Stolen Election is
Escalating

By Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman
Common Dreams, March 20, 2007
http://www.commondreams.org/views07/0320-23.htm


In a bold move "to restore trust to elections in
Ohio," Ohio's newly-elected Secretary of State,
Jennifer Brunner, has requested the resignation
of all four members of the Cuyahoga County Board
of Elections. The two Democrats and two
Republicans were formally asked to resign by the
close of business on March 21. Cuyahoga County
includes the heavily Democratic city of
Cleveland. Brunner is a Democrat who was elected
to be Ohio's Secretary of State in November,
2006.

Felony convictions have also resulted in 18-month
prison sentences for two employees of the
Cuyahoga BOE as a result of what the county
prosecutor in the case calls the "rigging" of the
outcome in the recount following the 2004
presidential election. Further problems surfaced
in the conduct of Cuyahoga County's May, 2006
primary, in the wake of which Michel Vu,
Executive Director of the county's Board of
Elections recently resigned.

In tandem, the shake-up in Ohio's biggest county
reflects a widening storm surrounding the outcome
of the 2004 presidential election and the conduct
of elections overall in the nation's most pivotal
state.

Among those Brunner has asked to resign is
Cuyahoga County BOE Chair Robert Bennett, who
chairs Ohio's Republican Party. Voting rights
attorney Cliff Arnebeck and others have long
charged that Bennett worked closely with White
House advisor Karl Rove and Ohio's then-Secretary
of State J. Kenneth Blackwell to secure Bush's
2004 victory in Ohio.

Bennett responded to Brunner by saying that he
will refuse to resign. He has placed the blame
for the May 2006 primary problems on private
voting machine vendors, including Diebold.
Bennett claims the rigging of the 2004
presidential recount was caused by the Cuyahoga
County Prosecutor's office, according to the
Columbus Dispatch.

If Bennett and other Board members refuse to
resign by Wednesday, Brunner says they "will face
a complaint and public hearing to be conducted in
Cleveland?"

In the 2004 presidential election, Cuyahoga
County suffered serious election irregularities
that worked to the disadvantage of Democratic
presidential candidate John Kerry. Among them:
the purging of 24.93% of all the voters in the
city of Cleveland, where Kerry won 83% of the
vote; mysterious and suspect vote totals for
third party candidates in majority African
American wards; unexplained "security" problems
that caused the last-minute shift of voting
locations in the inner city Cleveland Public
School polling places; improbably low apparent
turnouts in heavily Democratic inner city wards,
and more.

Brunner's request for the resignations comes a
week after two Cuyahoga County election workers
were each sentenced to 18 months in prison for
rigging the recount of the 2004 election in
Ohio's biggest county. These are the first prison
terms issued in the escalating scandal over the
vote count that gave George W. Bush a second stay
in the White House. The two women are out on bail
pending appeal. But the substantial jail time
demanded by Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge
Peter Corrigan indicates there may be more trials
and convictions yet to come, especially in light
of new evidence unearthed by the Free Press in
other counties around the state.

Jacqueline Maiden and Kathleen Dreamer were each
convicted of a felony count of negligent
misconduct by an election board employee. Maiden,
60, was the Cuyahoga Board of Elections'
third-highest ranking employee.

Dreamer, 40, was ballot manager. Maiden and
Dreamer were also convicted of a separate
misdemeanor. A third defendant in the case was
acquitted of all charges.

The Free Press has unearthed evidence indicating
possible criminal misconduct by a wide range of
election officials throughout the state,
including Blackwell. Under the law, election
boards are required to do recounts by choosing 3%
of a county's voters at random for sampling. But
throughout the state, apparently with the
explicit knowledge and approval of Blackwell,
precincts were hand-counted for recounting, a
criminal act. This non-random sampling in essence
voided the recount, for which backers of the
Green and Libertarian Parties paid more than
$100,000.

According to the prosecution in the case against
Maiden and Dreamer, this method of action led to
the recount being illegally "rigged." When
investigators working with the Free Press
attempted to audit the Cuyahoga County ballots
from the 2004 election last summer, BOE officials
were unable to find the ballots for four full
days. The investigation team, led by Richard
Hayes Phillips, had to find the ballots on their
own. Under Ohio law, the ballots were to be
locked in a known location, and secured by two
keys, one controlled by each major party.

Brunner says she acted in part because she is
concerned that many of the problems from 2004 and
2006 might resurface in the upcoming 2008
election. "With maximum 18-month prison sentences
being handed down to two Cuyahoga County election
workers last week, for their role in the 2004
presidential recount, the tremendous problems
that surfaced in the May 2006 primary that
delayed even the unofficial vote count for five
days, and the uncertain future of this board as
another Presidential election looms on the near
horizon, it is incumbent on me as Secretary of
State to provide the direction needed to get this
troubled board on track," she says. "The voters
of Cuyahoga county deserve it, the citizens of
Ohio expect it and the rest of the nation will be
watching."

In the 2006 primary, Cuyahoga County used the
controversial Diebold touchscreen voting
machines. These machines suffered a
well-publicized meltdown, in which many
malfunctioned. A report from the Election Science
Institute (ESI) documented significant
differences between votes actually cast on the
machines as opposed to those officially counted.

Immediately following the election, 562,498 votes
were reported cast in Cuyahoga County, with
30,791 listed as absentee or provisional ballots.
But the official results show just 468,056
counted. This means that 94,442 ballots cast in
the unofficial total disappeared in the official
tallies, representing a shocking 16.8% of all the
votes cast in Cuyahoga.

Michael Vu, who was the Cuyahoga BOE executive
director, came under intense criticism for the
bitter controversies surrounding both the 2004
and 2006 elections. Last month, he resigned "to
pursue future career growth," according to a
Cuyahoga County Board of Elections release.

In an interesting and perhaps telling statement
coming from a Republican who was commenting on an
appointee supported by the Democratic Party,
Bennett said "Michael Vu has worked hard and
accomplished a great deal on behalf of Cuyahoga
County votes and will, I am sure, continue to
have success in his career of public service.

"Michael oversaw a difficult transition period at
the Board including the implementation of a new
electronic voting system county-wide in the May
(2006) primary followed by a near flawless
general election," Bennett concluded.

Brunner's action underscores a growing sentiment
that the unraveling of what happened during and
after the 2004 election has only just begun.

The Free Press has learned that Brunner's office
is also investigating an unexplained undercount
in the 2006 general election in six Ohio counties
which all used the Diebold TSX DRE voting
machines. In Montgomery County, where the
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ted Strickland
beat Blackwell, the Republican nominee, by
107,593 to 76,189, there was an abnormally high
13.76% of the machines registering no vote for
the state's highest office. Problems are also
under investigation in Adams, Darke, Highland,
Mercer and Perry Counties.

With stiff prison terms, forced resignations and
widespread investigations underway, there is a
well-founded sense in Ohio that much more is yet
to surface about the disputed presidential
election of 2004 and what has come after it.
