Kissell Socialist Party Socialist National Committee 1011 North Third Street Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203 Dear Mr. Kissell: This is in response to your letter of October 8, 1980, requesting an advisory opinion on behalf of the Socialist National Committee of the Socialist Party, U.S.A. regarding its status as a "national committee" of a political party under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended ("the Act"). You state that the Socialist National Committee ("the committee") is the national committee of the Socialist Party of the United States of America ("Socialist Party"). In support of this assertion, you have submitted information on the Committee's activities and ask that the Commission issue a formal declaration affirming the Committee's status under the Act as a national committee of a political party. The Committee has filed a Statement of Organization with the Commission declaring itself to be a "national committee of a political party" pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 431(14), registering under the name "Socialist National Committee of the Socialist Party, U.S.A." Also, reports filed by the Committee with the Commission indicate that the Committee has made coordinated expenditures totalling more than $1,000. The Act defines "national committee" as "the organization which by virtue of the bylaws of a political party, is responsible for the day-to-day operation of such political party at the national level." 2 U.S.C 431(14).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 I H S £ S F For F.G. and my pa ABSTRACT The thesis proposes and develops a threefold categorisation as a framework for the analysis of the sustainable development (SD) discourse of business groups, local government and NGOs in the Mexico-US border region and specifically in the border cities of Juarez (Chihuahua, Mexico) and El Paso (Texas, US). The SD categorisation proposed in this thesis consists of three schools of thought, namely, Ecologism, Ecologically-sustainable-Development (EsD) and Corporate-Environmentalism. The thesis investigates how and why Corporate- Environmentalism came to dominate sustainable development discourse in the 1990s? Based on data collected in the border region of Juarez and El Paso, this thesis argues that Corporate-Environmentalism strongly influenced the sustainable development discourse of business groups, local government and NGOs and became the prevailing orthodoxy in the sustainable development discourse of the region during the 1990s.

  • Ballot Access Committee Report to NC
    Ballot Access Committee Report to NC As mentioned in the Presidential campaign debriefing, our 2012 Presidential campaign was the best in terms of ballot access since Ralph Nader ran as a Green in 2000. However, we fell short of our targets and exhausted a great deal of effort in getting on the ballot. The biggest difference between the Libertarian and Green Parties in terms of Presidential ballot lines was in our starting point. The Libertarians started off with 26 ballot lines after the 2010 midterm elections and the Greens only started off with 16. There were too many states with weak or nonexistent state parties that the Ballot Access Committee (BAC) was in poor position to assist. Delays in receiving matching funds exacerbated the campaign’s problems with trying to work in too many states at once on already scarce resources. BAC will be discussing a draft plan that sets goals for ballot access in each year of the 2013-2016 election cycle. Ultimately, our goal is to be on the ballot in between 45 and 47 states on Election Day in 2016. To make this goal more achievable, we plan to have at least 25 ballot lines after the 2014 midterm elections and at least 35 at the end of 2015. If the Green Party can achieve ballot access from 2013-15, not only will our final goal be much more achievable, but our Presidential campaign will be able to focus on what it should- winning votes on Election Day instead of fighting just to give voters a chance to see us on the ballot.
