Note from Carl Davidson: A good discussion piece on the tactics of independent intervention. The Northern IL group Tom mentions is the Peace and Justice Voters project of Chicagoan Against War & Injustice, which train 1000 deputy registrars and register 20,000 new voters, including 5000 high school students in 2004, and in 2006 put the war on the ballot in Chicago, getting 800,000 votes for 'Out Now'--81 to 19 percent--all without endorsing any candidate or party. All the lists and training benefited local neighborhood peace and justice groups, building them, not the Democrats. . (text/plain)
