Sam Spade's San Francisco

Sounds exciting. Decades ago I attended some meetings of the Communist Party USA back when their West Coast headquarters was on Valencia Street near 16th. I flew back to New York for a Communist Party Congress.We stayed at the Hotel Pennsylvania, across from Madison Square Garden and it was a grand experience. I felt like I was living the Warren Beatty's movie Reds.

Anyway, Here's an equally exciting opportunity to stand up for sanity in an otherwise quite insane world:

Here are the 10 policies you endorse by joining the Green New Deal Coalition:

1) Cut military spending at least 70%;
2) Create millions of green union jobs through massive public investment in renewable energy, mass transit and conservation;
3) Set ambitious, science-based greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, and enact a revenue-neutral carbon tax to meet them;
4) Establish single-payer "Medicare for all" health care;
5) Institute tuition-free public higher education;
6) Change trade agreements to improve labor, environmental, consumer, health and safety standards;
7) End counterproductive prohibition policies and legalize marijuana;
8) Enact tough limits on credit card interest and lending rates, progressive tax reform and strict financial regulation;
9) Amend the U.S. Constitution to abolish corporate personhood; and
10) Pass sweeping electoral, campaign finance and anti-corruption reforms.
