Congratulations to the Australian Green Party!

Last weekend the Green Party elected its first member of the Australian House of Representatives.  The party also won 14% of the vote in the Australian Senate, winning the balance of power in that body.  Because neither of the major parties hold a majority, each must come to the Greens to build coalitions for new legislation.  Greens around the country celebrated this historic victory.

By Colleen Kelly Wednesday, Aug 18, 2010 Do you believe that the religion of Islam is represented by 19 men who willfully drove planes into three buildings and a field on September 11th, murdering thousands?

CA Green Party: Prop. 8 ruling freezing marriages equality until Winter is a Mistake

Posted on August 27, 2010 by iwilder

The Green Party of California called an appeal court’s decision to hold up same-sex marriages until at least December so the 9th Circuit can rule on the constitutionality of Prop. 8, a mistake, and another attack on the rights of a discriminated class of citizens.

The decision Monday froze same-sex marriages, which were due to resume Wednesday after U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker’s historic overturning of voter-approved Prop. 8 on Aug. 4. Upon examination of the claims of the defense, Judge Walker could find no credible evidence or argument that could hold up under empirical scrutiny.

Now, the 9th Circuit will hear the case in early December – and the ruling may not be made for months, according to court observers, with the prospect of the losing side appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. Read more »

911, the Mosque and “why do republican rightwingers hate our freedom”

Posted on August 27, 2010 by iwilder

Correct website for Green Party of New York State is www.gpny.org

Howie Hawkins tells us about the 1st amendment of the Constitution. Freedom of religion is the cornerstone to what our forefathers envisioned as a free society. With all the troubles of the working class in New York, these rightwing politicians only want to talk about “the 911 Mosque”.

The only way that the Green Party can regain ballot status in NY is to get 50,000 votes for their Governor candidate in 2010. This opportunity comes only once every four years, and it only applies to the Governor’s race. Gaining ballot status will enable the Green Party to run more peace candidates, more single-payer candidates, more anti-fracking candidates, and more sustainable energy candidates. The last time that the Green Party of New York State had ballot status it set the record for running the most Green candidates of any state.

ROBOT KILL-CHOPPER GOES ROGUE above Washington DC! • The Register

Posted on August 26, 2010 by iwilder

ROBOT KILL-CHOPPER GOES ROGUE above Washington DC! • The Register.

A software error, combined with an unfortunate user action, led to a US military robot helicopter – developed from a manned version and capable of carrying a fearsome arsenal of weapons – straying into restricted airspace near Washington DC, according to reports.

:

Though this month’s MQ-8 departure from designated airspace is unusual, it is not unique. Operator error combined with communications loss led to a Predator-B unmanned aircraft operated by the US border authorities crashing near Nogales, Arizona four years ago.

In another incident, ground operators failed to regain control over a rogue MQ-9 Reaper “hunter killer” roboplane above Afghanistan, which had again failed to follow safety protocols. In that case, the errant droidcraft had to be shot down by a manned US fighter to prevent it crossing the border and violating a neighbouring country’s airspace.
