Well, the Sierra Club will not endorse the Green Party candidate,
Farheen Hakeem?
A political party built on the principles of environmentalism and
whose core values include getting big money and corporate influence
out of our democracy. Seeing as those corporate influences are the
root causes of much of the issues surrounding the global warming
crisis we all face. I am shocked I tell you.
Next you will tell me that groups like Progressive Minnesota AKA
Take Action Minnesota would endorse people like Mayor Coleman, who
then set up secret Free Speech Committees which give the police full
authority to torture, mace, tase, gas and otherwise assault and
brutalize peaceful protesters practicing their First Amendment Right
to Free Speech and Assembly. Protecting the RNC instead.
Of course, one can so easily make the argument that the Sierra Club
is an organization of white, privileged, comfortable, middle class folks,
whose opinions are irrelevant to many of the people of 61B. In fact, given
that reality I would think that getting the endorsement of said white,
privileged, comfortable, middle class organizations would actually be a
liability to Mr Jeff Haden and the organization he represents.
We can also make the assumption that the power elite are getting a wee
bit nervous. That is a good thing.
