Green Jobs New Deal - Four Pillars - Ten Key Values

the Green Jobs New Deal that includes my annotations and very much a work-in-progress:
1. Cut military spending at least 90%.
2. Create millions of green Living wage jobs through massive public investment in relocalized renewable energy, mass transit, conservation, food and material production, wildlife corridor and watershed revitalization.
3. Set ambitious, science-based greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, and enact a revenue-neutral carbon tax to meet them. Focus public expenditure on what all plant and animal species are confronting at present and into the interminable future: beyond increasing tipping points of Extreme, Runaway Climate Change Adaptation.
4. Establish universal, quality single-payer "Medicare for all" health care.
5. Fully fund free pre-K through 16 public, lower through higher education.
6. Replace all existing trade agreements with those to improve labor, environmental, consumer, health and safety standards.
7. Decriminalize and regulate marijuana. Treat drug abuse and addiction as a matter of public health, rehabilitation and education rather than a criminal matter.
8. Enact tough limits on credit card interest and lending rates, progressive tax reform and strict financial regulation. Return all illegally seized, bank-held property to their rightful owners. Break up the mega-banks with Local banks that reinvest in the Community.
9. Amend the U.S. Constitution to abolish corporate personhood.
10. Pass sweeping electoral, campaign finance and anti-corruption reforms. Overturn the so-called 'Top-two' Proposition 14. Return all lobbyist donations to the public coffers. Campaign reform with public financing by a check off your tax return - necessary for democracy to be resuscitated. Stop the lobbyist third house from owning the legislators and writing the legislation.
11. Institute proportional representation - retire the electoral 'college' - Implement Instant runoff voting to ensure grassroots democracy and save taxpayer funds spent on elections.

Four Pillars • The international Green Party movement is guided by the "Four Pillars": Ecological Wisdom, Social Justice, Grassroots Democracy, Nonviolence.

Ten Key Values • Greens in the United States added six more of three paired, complementary Values:
Decentralization, and Community-Based Economics,
Feminism, and Respect for Diversity,
Personal and Global Responsibility, and Future Focus/Sustainability
- to form the "Ten Key Values" subscribed to by Green Parties in locals, Counties, States throughout the US and the US National Green Party.

Live the Ten Key Values!

Join California's 39th Assembly Candidate Jack Lindblad in a Town Hall this Sunday evening on the Beer Party's facebook wall

Residents in the 39th District - from Sylmar to North Hollywood - deserve a representative in Sacramento who can say no to the special interests. Join Candidate Jack Lindblad in a Town Hall this Sunday evening at 8:00 PM Pacific time on the Beer Party's facebook wall.
'The Beer Party began as a Facebook page, created by the husband and wife team of Chris Winland and Sara Prus, to express their outrage and disdain for the Tea Party, in all it’s lunatic fringe glory. It quickly gained quite a following, as thousands of Americans rallied to their call for more enlightened, common sense (yet far from timid) discourse.'

Some residents in Sylmar and San Fernando support the move, but others believe it criminalizes an entire area. "What is going on here is very unjust.

Current 39th Assemblemember Fuentes entangled in campaign committee investigations and community uproar over legislative "gut and amend" deception

There is growing sentiment in the community to call on Mr. Fuentes to resign his legislative seat over the duration of investigations by the Los Angeles Ethics Commission and the Los Angeles County District Attorney - combined with the additional neglect denying the District time and attention normally given to representing the District - now given to attorneys and defense strategies.
Only 16 months ago, after being elected to represent the 39th District, now Los Angeles City Councilmember Richard Alarcon relinquished his Assembly seat after just a few weeks to run for City Council. Community members are weary of having to struggle for representation held hostage by Mr. Fuentes' legislation-authoring developer cronies and his sporadic or diminished representation in Sacramento in these financially and environmentally dire times.

Concerned about the self-aggrandizing musical chair behavior of current office-holders, the electorate will opt to vote for commonly-held grass-root values that I share with the community and elect me to Sacramento.

Lindblad announces run for California State Assembly

Against the dire backdrop of what scientists are saying that humanity has until 2010 to stop unchecked global warming "before it's too late" to avoid catastrophic effects to the health and economy of humankind, Jack Lindblad is announcing his candidacy to be elected to the California State Assembly.

California's Assembly legislates for a state that (if considered a nation) would be the world's eighth-largest economy and twelfth-ranked contributor to global greenhouse gases.

The current Democrat officeholder in a mostly Latino working class district is not reflecting the urgency required of political leadership to transform our wasteful, consumptive society from pending extinction to sustainability that both Democrats and Republicans refuse to address in realistic measures.
