The cover story of the latest issue of Green Pages details how the Florida Greens are working with other anti-nuclear activists to prevent the licensing of three new reactors. With a pro-nuclear President in the White House, it’s critical that Greens work with activists around the country to defeat the idea that the answer to climate change is additional nuclear reactors.
In From Hopenhagen to Nopenhagen Brian Tokar of the Institute for Social Ecology states “After the 2007 climate summit in Bali, Indonesia, the Bush administration tried to initiate an alternate track of negotiations on climate policy that involved only a select handful of the more compliant countries … Now that the Obama administration has adopted essentially the same approach …”
Also included are articles on the upcoming mid-term elections and obituaries for Bob Long and Dennis Brutus. As always; read, comment, distribute.

About the logo on the cover illustration
With radiating waves, a skull and crossbones and a running person, a new ionizing radiation warning symbol is being introduced to supplement the traditional international symbol for radiation, the three cornered trefoil.
The new symbol is being launched today by the IAEA and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to help reduce needless deaths and serious injuries from accidental exposure to large radioactive sources. It will serve as a supplementary warning to the trefoil, which has no intuitive meaning and little recognition beyond those educated in its significance.

Dear Sirs;
Please correct your information on me. I am not running for Governor of Arkansas. I am running for the senate seat now held by Blanch Lincoln. You have a web site up on me that is causing a great deal of confusion for my campaign.
Phone me at: (479) 387-0164 or (479) 856-6568
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
John Gray
Although I am a registered voter of the Green Party, I do disagree with them on this term. Nuclear power is now safer than any other form of power out there. Coal plants allow more radioactive material to escape into the environment (radioactive ash).
Nuclear Power is cheap and safe energy. We should embrace it.
Recently, I re-registered to vote as “Green” simply because I am devastated by political deceitfulness on both sides of the aisle.
I believe that the “Greens” must:
1. Fight off “Citizens United versus Federal Elections Commission–a corporation can not be considered a human being;
2. Fight for Public financingn of electoral campaigns;
3. Fight to reform education. I prefer multiple-sensory/structured, self-paced, individualized, facilitation which is:
a) Differentiated (subject-matter areas of weaknesses and strengths);
b) Leveled ( according nto individual learning modalities of student);
c) Project/place-based application of assignements (material being learned);
d) Authentic assessments.
e) International Baccalaureate curriculum– a well-rounded “Classical” education as denoted by Soctrates, Aristotle, etc.
I am very sensitive to these principles as I work with bright but struggling students with Dyslelxia and realted learning differences. All human beings can contribute to the bettermentn of society.
4. Sustainable agriculture and industry tied to co-operatives and enterprise zones.
5. High-speed rail and maritime transportation.
6. “Single Payer” Health Care.
7. Alternative energy.
and your message to the electorate with your 2008 pres. ad vpres. candidates was??
I’ve been a Green since the mid 1990’s. I would really like to see the GP take on the issue of lobby money that floods both the House and the Senate. I think that the GP should push the issue continuously. Make it an issue that moves the public!
Thank you,
Cliff
I am now registered as independent but very interested in your party, possibly to the point of turning that way.
