[Peace-discuss] Join The People’s Agenda Sunday, December 11th from 3-6pm

[Ricky Baldwin]

As I understand this effort, it is not about promoting a particular party - parties after all being vehicles only - but about how a community can promote a people-over-profits agenda.  Nothing could be more timely.

~ Nationally the Democrats promote a continuation of Obama's wars.

~ In Illinois the Democrats refused to solve the 'budget crisis' - which they had the votes to do - because they were unwilling to to offend our local Wall St., LaSalle St.

Those opposed to neoconservatism (more war) and neoliberalism (more inequality) need to develop alternatives to that disingenuous party, locally and nationally, and vote out its representatives.

An independent Green party (not the collaborationist Stein campaign) is a possibility.
