My college dear friend Maureen Cruise is among the shadow cabinet. We've stayed in touch all these years, and she's worked tirelessly for single payer health care in CA.

>>This Earth Week, another government is possible . . .
>>Meet the new Green Shadow Cabinet
>>Dr. Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala, the 2012 Green Party presidential and vice-presidential nominees, have marked the beginning of Earth Week by announcing a new Green Shadow Cabinet that will serve as an independent voice in U.S. politics, putting the needs of people and protection of the planet ahead of profits for big corporations. The Cabinet will operate in the tradition of shadow cabinets in other countries, such as the United Kingdom and Mexico, responding to actions of the government in office, and demonstrating that another government is
possible.
>>The Green Shadow Cabinet, which is viewable at http://greenshadowcabinet.us/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=7&qid=8261, includes nearly 100 prominent scientists, community and labor leaders, physicians, cultural workers, veterans, and more, and will provide an ongoing opposition and alternative voice to the dysfunctional government in Washington D.C..
>>The Cabinet is organized into six federal branches: Democracy, Economy, Ecology, Foreign Affairs, General Welfare, and Justice. Topics include the economy, environment and climate change, health and general welfare, democratization, rights of workers, wages and labor, community power, closing military bases, ending wars for resources and restoring the rule of law. Among the top priorities will be advocating for full employment through a Green New Deal and confronting climate change and the ecological crisis through a program of creating a carbon-free and
nuclear free energy economy.
>>Public statements from Cabinet members . . .
>>In honor of the launch of the Green Shadow Cabinet, twenty members of the Cabinet have issued public statements for Earth Week. These are available for republication at http://greenshadowcabinet.us/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=10&qid=8261
>>The Green Shadow Cabinet includes not only scientists and leaders of social change organizations, but also artists and writers. The talented comedian Lee Camp offers this video "statement" on the need for the Cabinet: http://greenshadowcabinet.us/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=8&qid=10455
