COMMUNITY CHOICE: The Movement for Energy Independence (2005) 20 min.

LNG or CCA? That is The Question!

California is at an energy crossroads. The choice we make in the next few months will determine our energy f uture. Will we invest in costly long-term contracts for Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) from abroad, or will we invest in local energy independence through efficiency, conservation and large scale development of clean, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biomas and tidal.

There IS a practical, proven solution that stabilizes electricity rates, creates local jobs, boosts your economy and takes significant steps towards energy independence while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and local pollution.
About 50 cities and counties in California are already exploring this solution, called Community Choice Aggregation (CCA).

Recently, The California Energy Commission underwrote a feasibility study for the county of Marin and the cities of Richmond, Berkeley, Oakland, Pleasanton, Vallejo, and Emeryville. The sudy performed by Navigant, showed that except for one area, the shift to renewable energy can be made without raising electricity prices.

This report shows how public officials, responsible for the public health , environmental and economic well being of a city or county, can make responsible planning decisions that effectively deal with the challenges posed by local pollution, extreme weather events, the rising costs of energy and shrinking local budgets.

GOT DEMOCRACY? - (2005) Documentary Version - 43 mins. TV Version - 30 mins. (Both on one DVD)
A Report OnThe Electoral Crisis In The United States From the First National Teach-In Oakland, California February, 2005

Electoral Reform is a non-partisan issue!
Why does it matter if the last three U.S. Federal elections were stolen?
Because, if they were, we have a democracy in crisis.
Despite resounding corporate media silence, massive evidence exists that the elections were indeed stolen.
Ohio was the key state in 2004. The Conyers Congressional Report “Preserving Democracy” cites “massive and unprecedented voter irregularities and anomalies” throughout Ohio.
Attempted recounts met with serious blocking and tampering.
Thousands of similar violations occurred in states across the country, dis-enfranchising primarily Black, Native American and Latino voters.
Without electoral integrity the American ship of state is without a legitimate captain and crew.
Without clean elections, no clean energy policy, no just domestic or foreign policy are possible.

Got Democracy?
A look at the evidence for widespread vote fraud
and what we can do about it.

A LITTLE LIGHT'LL DO YA - (2005) 58 min.

Blacked out or dismissed as 'conspiracy theories' by corporate news outlets, reports of massive vote fraud in the 2004 presidential election circulated on the internet and independent media.
As the Jan. 6th, 2005 deadline for a challenge to the Electoral College vote drew near, a tiny village on the California coast raised funds to send a delegation of its citizens and an award-winning documentary team to Ohio and Washington, D.C. to get the facts.
They found overwhelming evidence of a stolen election…and a small, diverse group of committed people - from the street and the elite - defending democracy against overwhelming odds.
This is the first edition of their report.
