At the WILPF Congress in Des Moines last week we agreed to investigate the establishment of a blog devoted to matters concerning the Corporations v. Democracy Issue Committee. This is the result. We invite you to take this opportunity to post your questions, answers, comments and suggestions.

Jan Edwards sent us the script of her play on Corporate Personhood, which some of us saw at the Congress as performed by Maggie Rawland and Marybeth Gardam. She also sent us a Raging Granny kind of song about corporations, plus instructions of how to build a box that would serve to disguise one as corporation. I will be happy to forward any of this material to anyone who requests it.

Let’s reframe the crisis in Detroit. The troubles facing the American auto industry could actually be a chance for us to tackle global climate change. What the automobile manufacturers should be working on is replacing the internal combustion engine with a design that uses renewable fuel – without hazardous emissions.
Perhaps the simplest solution is an economic stimulus program, underwritten by the government, that creates a market for the development, manufacture and sale of better American cars – better in terms of fuel efficiency and emissions. People who buy a new car could receive a government rebate if, and only if, they choose a better domestic car. Old cars would have to go straight to the crusher and not the used car lot.
This system provides built-in incentives for the adoption of hybrid/electric cars as a transitional technology. This will help get us on the road to a future of pure-electric cars, and a national grid powered by sun and wind – not fossil or nuclear fuel.
