  • 4 Independent Political Action
    Solidarity Political Basis of Unity: Suggested Bibliography #4 Independent Political Action In the labor and social movements, we call for political independence and a break from the two-party system. The Democratic and Republican parties are dominated by corporations and merely offer different flavors of pro-war and pro-business policies. These capitalist parties maintain a stranglehold on politics in the United States and offer only dead ends for working class and oppressed people. The Democrats in particular have functioned as a trap for organized labor and as the graveyard of social movements. We argue against engagement in the “lesser evil” approach of working with the Democratic Party, which tends over the long term to push the overall political climate to the right. We argue, instead, for the political independence of movements. When possible, we support third parties and independent candidacies that stand on these principles. Our long-term strategic goal is the construction of a mass party that can champion workers’ interests independently of the two-party system. Draft Revision 1, September 2014 Socialists as well as working-class and social movement activists have attempted to build independent parties for more than 100 years. The renewed interest in campaigning for socialist and community candidates stands on that tradition. In the past, those efforts were unable to break through at a national level and several were incorporated into the Democratic Party. Today, election laws, the amount of money necessary to build a campaign and the emphasis on campaigning through the media have raised the stakes against independent political action. Current Initiatives Solidarity is Prioritizing The Green Party campaign for governor/lieutenant governor in New York State is important for the issues it is raising.

  • Women and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.

MAKING THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT RELEVANT TO THE NEW DEMOGRAPHICS OF AMERICA: A RESPONSE TO FARRELL AND JOHNSON* LEO F. ESTRADA" Professor Estrada responds to what he views as the three themes of Professor Farrell and Professor Johnson's PrincipalArticle. Estrada argues that the demographic trends that affect political representation are more complex than Farrell and Johnson describe. Estrada begins with a discussion of changing demographics and inter-group conflict, particularly between Latinos, Blacks, and Asians, and discusses the potential political ramifications for these minority groups in the new demography evidenced by the 2000 census. After discussing majority-minority districts, Estradafocuses on the disenfranchisementof Latino and Asian voters and the use of demographic data in the construction of representative districts as it relates to the Latino population.

Referred to PERSONNEL/FINANCE, PUBLIC WORKS & TRANSPORTATION and ENVIRONMENT, AGRICULTURE & NATURAL RESOURCES. --------------- RES. 1, 10-11 APPROVING LEASE WITH FRIENDS OF SCHUMACHER FARM AT SADDLEBROOK BARN IN WESTPORT In 2007 Dane County acquired approximately 172 acres of land in the Town of Westport from Saddlebrook LLC for the North Mendota Natural Resource Area. The property included several buildings that are used by the Sheriff’s Department and the Land & Water Resources Department. The property is relatively close to Schumacher Farm, a County property used as a park and as a demonstration area of farming practices from the early 1900s. The Friends of Schumacher Farm, a volunteer group that helps maintain and manage Schumacher Farm, indicated a desire to use a two-story hay barn, which is not being used by either the Sheriff’s Department or the Land & Water Resources Department, for the storage of historical farming equipment and other objects associated with the farm-park.

For example, the prerequisite that a person be able to read the Constitution in the English language was declared to be a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, U.S. Constitution, and
