Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins took issue with Cuomo’s comments, claiming that his party calls for an outright ban of the practice, and warned that, “when the moratorium ends in May, it’s going to be drill, baby, drill!”

The fact is that the audience last night responded most warmly and excitedly to McMillan’s so-crazy-it-just-might-work rent reduction plan, and Hawkins’s general decency and exasperation, and Redlich’s idealistic anti-government stance, and Davis’s tongue-lashings. These are not, in the parlance, “viable” candidates. But they — well, Hawkins and Redlich, anyway — offer viable plans.

Rich Whitney
Green Party gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney reacted with very little surprise to lack of substance in the debate between Governor Pat Quinn and Republican challenger Bill Brady at Elmhurst College on Sunday night. Whitney emphasized that the scarcity of any real solutions by either candidate only furthered his argument that he should be included in all debates.
“Last night only underscores the need for responsible civic organizations to include me in all future debates,” Whitney explained. “Quinn and Brady spent about 3/4 of the time attacking each other and most of the other 1/4 of the time speaking in vague generalities that did not address the question asked. Despite being asked 4 or 5 times, in 4 or 5 different ways, how they would solve the budget crisis, they still failed to explain how they would close the $13 billion structural deficit with any steps that would even remotely approach that figure.” Read more »

John le Carré, the former British spy turned spy novelist, has some grave words for Tony Blair. More than seven years after the invasion of Iraq, the former British prime minister, now out of office and touring the world pushing his political memoir, is encountering serious protests at his book signings.
“I can’t understand that Blair has an afterlife at all. It seems to me that any politician who takes his country to war under false pretenses has committed the ultimate sin,” he told me when I sat down with le Carré recently in London. “We’ve caused irreparable damage in the Middle East. I think we shall pay for it for a long time.”

It is my firm belief that subcritical tests are an extension of the 41-year-long nuclear testing program of the United States government at the Nevada Test Site that began in 1951 and ‘ended’ in 1992. A subcritical underground test – which I place in the same category as a nuclear test – is a break of the underground testing ban and these ‘nuclear’ tests may signal to other CTBT signatories the U.S.’s determination to not only keep its nuclear arsenal but one day resume full-scale nuclear testing.

Below is a post from the last Governor campaign in 2010.
For 2014, Howie Hawkins is once again the Green Party candidate for Governor of New York. There was a 4-way debate which included Howie Hawkins on October 22, 2014 in Buffalo.

“I think the media’s coverage afterward, they did not deal with the serious issues I was trying to address,” he said. “It was more like a review of ‘American Idol’ than an account of the candidates. I was disappointed in that because there are serious problems we have to face.”

From a Rich Whitney for Governor 2010 press release, October 19, 2010:
Rich Whitney to visit parents occupying Whittier Field House
Carbondale, IL—Green Party candidate Rich Whitney will be visiting the field house at the Whittier Elementary School in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood this evening in a show of solidarity and support for the parents, students and community members who have occupied it since September 15th. Whitney and supporters will be delivering food and drink to the protesters.
The field house had been used for after-school programs, but the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) declared that the building would be demolished to build a soccer field to be used by nearby Cristo Rey High School (a private, Catholic high school). Parents, students, teachers and school activists were outraged. As one parent explained, “Again they want to take from the poor and give to the rich.” Read more »
