from one of We the people

Dear Ralph, Naomi, Wes & Wendell, Oren,
Starhawk, Andy Kimbrell, Bill McKibben
and all the candidates
that the poets, vegetarians,
12 steppers, animal rights activists,
be-all-ogists, echologists, gyn-ecologists,
unions of concerned scientists, 350.org people,
etcetera etcetera
can muster,

We need many independent libertarian candidates
in every one of the 435 congressional districts
so a significant number of "only the rich
can save us" republicans will join in
& create a 7th Generation Party that can:
1) actually elect 10 to 20 or more of us
to the House of Representatives;
2) gradually or suddenly replace the present g o p
turning it into a "3rd party"
(think of many districts
where the incumbent democrat wins big
because the "conservative" vote is split
& "We" come in 2nd);
3) do the education/consciousness-raising/awareness
of co-evolution play that must be done
if we are to bring progress/growth/development
nightmare to a sane
swift
decentralized democracy & justice for all
conclusion

let me put it in the negatives
IF we don't do this in 2010
there's a high probability that team obama
accomplishes nothing of importance
in 2nd two years of a one term presidency
fear mongering republicans return to power
with revenge on their ledged minds
wars continue to feed the war corporations
6th extinction and global storming
not only continue
but accelerate
bacteria and viruses breed and co-evolve
70 times faster than we do
and one or two nasty ones will spread quicker
in starving, weakened, immune-compromised populations
the century of world wars and genocides wasn't pretty
the century of plagues, heating, dessication, flooding
and more genocides will be so much uglier
many will welcome the grim reaper with a sigh of relief
and a 7th Generation Party may never see
the light of day

we have a chance
an opportunity
11 months from now
to change the direction
toward simplicity
less tech
no nukes
planned parenthood
conservation
angeleek's uneek soup kitchen
groove de la groove daycare
dance ur blues away fitness
conflict resolution center
in every neighborhood
sustainable and egalitarian
joy filled living

we the people may not get another chance

sincerely,
