Donkey Kick		27 Jun 2003	Daily Grist
Donkey Kick The Bush administration received a serious dressing-down in absentia last night over its misbegotten environmental policies, as five of the nine Democratic hopefuls aired their own green views during a League of Conservation Voters forum held in Los Angeles. Rather than detailing the differences in their own positions, most of the candidates who were p ...

Feeling Bushed Let's hope campaign finance reform saves the day	Donella H. Meadows	16 Jan 2001	Global Citizen
I will never believe he won. I'll always think he got a minority of both the popular and the electoral vote. To me he'll always be President-Under-False-Pretense. The president-elect prepares to step up to the plate. Well, but you know, the Rs would feel the same way if a few hundred Florida votes had tipped the other way. Only worse. If the tables were turned, the Rs would be whipping up their talk ...

Dough -- Oh Dear! Should campaign finance reform become the next big green issue?	Phillip Shabecoff	19 Apr 2000	Arts and Minds
Portions of the following essay were adapted from the new book Earth Rising: American Environmentalism in the 21st Century. "Politics," said Will Rogers, "has got so expensive that it takes lots of money to even get beat with." And that was in the 1930s. The green stuff. Politics today is a lot more expensive. In the 1997-1998 fiscal year, which included an o ...

McCain Is on the Money	Donella H. Meadows	07 Feb 2000	Global Citizen
I've had the fun of voting in six New Hampshire primaries, but this one I had to sit out. I've just moved three miles across the river and become a Vermonter. It was strange to watch all the foofuraw from across the state boundary. I still bumped into the candidates as they cruised the valley, canoed on the river, glad-handed in parking lots, blocked traffic with campaign buses. I still got inundated with their ads. I listened as New Ha ...
