No to Angelides and Schwarzenegger! Yes to Janice Jordan!
Angelides criticized Schwarzenegger for his praise for the racist anti-immigrant vigilantes called the “Minutemen” while in the same breath calling for a "guest worker" program that would create a new class of super-exploited worker with no political rights. Under the same type of program in the past U.S. bosses often failed to even pay Mexican workers for their hard labor. The fact that Angelides and the Democrat Party are now calling for this kind of legalization of indentured servitude place them firmly in the same racist camp as Schwarzenegger.
No to Angelides and Schwarzenegger!
Critical Support For Janice Jordan, Peace and Freedom Party Candidate For Governor
By Steven Argue
Last night’s debate between Phil Angelides and Arnold Schwarzenegger was a grueling hour of corporate politics. Angelides leveled criticisms against Schwarzenegger for cuts to education under his governorship. Schwarzenegger countered by asking where Angelides was when Democrat governor Gray Davis was making cuts to education and asked why Angelides supported those cuts under Davis. Schwarzenegger went so far as to ask why Angelides didn’t join in the student protests for education that had marched by his office under Davis.
It was a valid criticism, yet Schwarzenegger never supported those student protests either and as Angelides pointed out, he has made his own cuts to education.
On a similar note Angelides criticized Schwarzenegger for his praise for the racist anti-immigrant vigilantes called the “Minutemen” while in the same breath calling for a "guest worker" program that would create a new class of super-exploited worker with no political rights. Under the same type of program in the past U.S. bosses often failed to even pay Mexican workers for their hard labor. The fact that Angelides and the Democrat Party are now calling for this kind of legalization of indentured servitude place them firmly in the same racist camp as Schwarzenegger.
What was missing from the debate was the voice of an official candidate that will be on the ballot in November, but was excluded from the debate by the California Broadcasters Association. This candidate, Janice Jordan of the Peace and Freedom Party, could have chimed in that she did in fact support the protests against the cuts of both Davis and Schwarzenegger and that she opposes both the racist Minutemen and the racist guest worker program. But she was excluded from the debates, showing once again the bias of the corporate media as a pillar in preventing true democracy in America.
A truly democratic society would eliminate corporate control of the elections by nationalizing the corporate media and allowing all candidates equal access to the airwaves, cable, and print. Likewise a truly democratic society would carry out a sweeping “campaign finance reform” through the nationalization of the means of production (using that wealth for human and environmental needs rather than decadence and deception).
It will take a socialist revolution to bring democracy to America.
Liberation News sees the participation of socialists in the corrupted electoral politics of America as a critical platform in explaining how we differ from the capitalist Democrat and Republican parties. Likewise all of the undemocratic measures that are used against us, which will only intensify as we grow stronger, expose the parallel need for a revolutionary program to accompany any socialist electoral activity.
The Peace and Freedom Party is primarily an electoral party that speaks of the need for socialism, but generally avoids talk of the only step that will bring socialism, a step that can be summed up in one word: revolution. Revolution is about abolishing the current racist anti-worker and anti-poor police, military, and judicial system and carrying out a sweeping redistribution of the wealth.
Likewise the campaign literature the Peace and Freedom Party hand out at demonstrations often contain good criticisms of the Democrats and Republicans and outline a good platform for social and economic emancipation, but are usually missing another key component that will make putting human and environmental needs before profits possible in a socialist society. That being the nationalization of industry including oil (and other energy), “defense”, auto, the banks, the railroads, chemical, and the agricultural monopolies.
It is due to this lack of a true socialist program in the Peace and Freedom Party, and lack of any campaign statements from Janice Jordan countering it, that Liberation News can only give critical support to the campaign of Janice Jordan.
In giving this critical support to Janice Jordan we recognize that the social reforms called for by the Peace and Freedom Party do still have a revolutionary component in that they go far beyond anything that the capitalist class of the United States will ever allow short of their total overthrow. In giving critical support we intervene to denounce the undemocratic actions of the corporate media and capitalist campaign financing used against the campaign of Janice Jordan, but unlike the Peace and Freedom Party, we take those undemocratic actions to their logical conclusion: the ultimate need for socialist revolution.
While giving critical support to Janice Jordan’s campaign for governor, Liberation News is withholding support for the Peace and Freedom Party’s candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Stewart Alexander. Alexander’s campaign is spreading illusions in the Democrat Party. In his campaign statements Alexander pretends that the Republicans represent corporate interests and that the Democrats do not, their problems being "sitting on the fence" and an unwillingness to spend "political capital". This is nonsense; the Democrat Party is just as much a corporate party as the Republican, both in its financing and in its program.
In another campaign statement Stewart Alexander opposes the Peace and Freedom Party’s platform that calls for immediate withdrawal from Iraq from the right. In the statement he claims that the Peace and Freedom Party needs to draw up an exit strategy from Iraq. Yet immediate withdrawal is an exit strategy. It is an exit strategy that takes no consideration of continuing to prop up the undemocratic puppet death squad government the U.S. established, nor does it consider the logistical needs of keeping troops fighting and dying in Iraq to defend military hardware as it is evacuated. Troops are to be evacuated immediately by air, sea, and land the same way they were sent in; and the biggest cause of the bloodshed in Iraq will be gone. This is the exit strategy.
Liberation News calls for U.S. troops out now! Build the mass movement! For the labor movement to break from the Democrat Party of war and exploitation and to end the war through building the mass movement in the streets; striking against arms producers; hot cargoing war materials on the docks, trains, and trucks; and building towards a general strike against the war. For the right of military personal to refuse orders and resist this war. For student actions against recruiters, such as those at UC Santa Cruz that have repeatedly driven military recruiters off campus. For building the socialist movement as part of the anti-war resistance today and to ultimately end U.S. imperialism through socialist revolution.
While Phil Angelides and Arnold Schwarzenegger will carry out austerity connected to the U.S. war in Iraq and the economic problems of capitalism, neither the Democrats nor Republicans offer any solutions to the problems of war and capitalism because they support both.
Vote Janice Jordan for governor!
Money for social and environmental needs, not for war and capitalist profit!
For socialist revolution to end imperialism and establish democracy in the United States!

Seems to me this belongs under local in the California section.
Peter Camejo is also running for Governor and is an excellent candidate -
from the Alameda Green Party Voter Guide -
"Peter Miguel Camejo calls on progressive California Democrats to make a statement as strong as the statement made by progressive Connecticut Democrats in the historic defeat of pro-war incumbent Democrat Joe Lieberman. “The Democrats have re-elected Arnold
Schwarzenegger.” Camejo said in a recent SF Chronicle interview. “They are handing it to him, and they can’t take him on because they rely on the same special interests.”
Indeed, the Democratic primary election of Phil Angelides showed a record low turnout of 33.7%, suggesting even Democrats may see little benefit in bringing another Gray Davis to Sacramento. “It’s over,” Camejo stressed, “You’re free to vote for me. Send a message . . . stand up for what you believe in.’’

Democratic critics of the Bush administration's war in Iraq attack Bush from the right. In an August 1 press release, House Democratic party leader Nancy Pelosi said, "Under President Bush ... our Army could not respond to a crisis. ... [T]his failure to maintain military readiness is unacceptable and dangerous." Democratic Senator Jack Reed called for more military spending, saying "The Administration must provide necessary funding to the Army and the Marine Corps to reset and recapitalize their equipment before the readiness of these forces are decisively compromised. And, they must do this without the budgetary gimmicks that they have consistently employed to avoid the hard choices of funding our soldiers and continuing to support our domestic needs."
Neither higher military spending for newer military technology, nor a more intensified recruiting campaign, can overcome the fundamental strategic problem faced by US imperialism in Iraq and Afghanistan: its forces are tired and demoralized, while the resistance fighters enjoy broad popular support that grows with each revelation of imperialism's atrocities.
The Democrats offer no way out of the crisis: their program is fight imperialism's wars with more brutality and more troops
The quagmire of the US occupation is increasingly turning the generals toward the savage tactics of 21st century total war against the civilian population of Iraq and Afghanistan, exemplified by the rape of the Iraqi city of Fallujah by the US generals in 2004. This was a monstrous crime that history will remember along with the bombings of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo, and Dresden, as incontrovertible proof that the most depraved and menacing terrorist threat facing the people of the world is US imperialism. In the first televised presidential debate of 2004, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry criticized Bush for hesitating in his initial assault on Fallujah in April, saying "What I want to do is change the dynamics on the ground. And you have to do that by beginning to not back off of the Fallujahs and other places, and send the wrong message to the terrorists. ... You've got to show you're serious in that regard."
Kerry and the Democrats have repeatedly criticized Bush for not supplying enough troops to occupy Iraq, and for not invading or menacing other countries. The millionaire cable executive Ned Lamont, a darling of the "anti-war" liberals who defeated Bush's favorite Democrat, Senator Joe Lieberman, to win Connecticut's Democratic primary, told the readers of the Wall Street Journal,
"Our national security has ... been weakened, because we stopped fighting a real war on terror when we made the costly and counterproductive decision to go to war in Iraq. ... [T]he bottom line means everything. ... I am a fiscal conservative and our people want their government to be sparing and sensible with their tax dollars. ... We start with the strongest, best-trained military in the world, and we'll keep it that way. ... [W]e'll get stronger by changing course. We must work closely with our allies and treat the rest of the world with respect. We must implement the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission ..."
Both wings of the capitalist party - the Democrats and Republicans - are committed to defending US imperialism and its interests in the Middle East. They both confront the same problems: a fundamental weakness of the domestic economy, based on speculation, debt, and Keynesian government spending, the worldwide popular resistance to their efforts to grab new colonies to offset the crisis (Afghanistan and Iraq) or intensify the exploitation of old colonies (much of Latin America, and the militant labor movement in South Korea, for example). Their differences are that the Republicans basically defend Bush's failed tactics in the Iraq war, using racist and nationalist demagogy, while Democrats use racist and nationalist demagogy to criticize the Bush administration's war plans from the right: primarily Bush's inability to intervene militarily against Iran, North Korea, and other isolated holdouts against the US capitalists' dreams of uncontested world domination.

While not a socialist, Donna Warren would make a better Lt. Governor than McLintock-Garamendi.

I find it interesting that someone from a failed capitalist party, the Green Party, would respond to me or Fred Bergman's comments with the name "reality check".
While Peter Camejo and Donna Warren, both of the Green Party, have some good immediate positions I do not support Green Party candidates because the Green Party is a capitalist party.
In Santa Cruz, where the Green Party has elected their party member Tim Fitzemaurice to office, Tim Fitzemaurice has backed the fears of local shop owners by voting for anti-homeless laws such as the law that makes it illegal for the homeless to sleep at night. While criminalizing those who cannot pay the high rent Fitzemaurice refuses to take a stand for rent control. Likewise Tim Fitzemaurice has refused to take any stand against police violence used against anti-war protesters in 1999 and other repressive measures against activists including my arrest and beating for distributing literature and the police murder of homeless activist John Dine. Recently Fitzemaurice did take a stand against police infiltration of the organizers of a Santa Cruz anti-war parade, but his stated reason for doing so was an attempt to maintain the credibility of the Santa Cruz police.
Tim Fitzemaurice is not a leader for change in Santa Cruz. He is instead a pillar of the status quo. This is the future of all political parties and politicians that do not have a program for the overthrow of the capitalist system.
The Green Party is clear in their program. They state that they are for a system of small capitalism. Yet the small capitalists commonly have a smaller profit margin and often exploit workers worse than the big capitalists. In opposition to such a vision of small and inefficient capitalist exploiters, socialists look to labor struggle and the nationalization of industry under workers’ control as the way to fight and neutralize the corporate exploiters and bring justice for the working class and the environment.
The Green Party generally is not even seeking power, but pressure and reform of the Democrat Party. Yet the policy of many Greens in promoting votes for Democrats when the vote between the Democrat and Republican is close only promotes further illusions in the Democrats. Likewise promising votes to Democrats when it looks close does nothing to pressure the Democrats and their super rich backers to move to the left.
It was a massive and fighting labor movement, led to large extent by socialists, that forced the American ruling class and Franklin Delano Roosevelt to carry out the New Deal reforms in the 1930’s. This was out of fear of further unrest and potential revolution. It is my position that the most meaningful reforms do not come from reformism, such as that of the Green Party, but from revolutionary and working class struggle. I only vote for candidates that are helping spread this kind of revolutionary vision, and not for those of a party that is already functioning as part of the police state.

Did Arnold actually cut education or did he just not let education spending grow as much as his opponents might have wished?
Which is more important: the continuation of entitlement programs open to anyone, or unfettered immigration of peaceful people? Do you think it is possible to have both?
Whether you agree with immigration law or not, do you believe that we are wise to reward intentional lawbreakers with amnesty, citizenship, entitlements?
Have you looked at all the alternatives to the Democrats and Republicans?
Are you going to support the political status quo by voting for ANY incumbent this year?
