"CityBeat endorses Dan La Botz
La Botz supports radical democracy, the democratic control of the economy by the majority of Americans instead of by a small minority. Working people make the country run, he says, and working people should run the country. He sees the answers to our national problems and international conflicts coming not from the Democratic or Republican parties but from powerful labor and social movements he hopes to foster...."

26 October 2010

By: Vince Grzegorek
Cleveland Scene


"Among the radical ideas espoused by La Botz: the right of Americans to full-time jobs at a living wage, universal access to health care, ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and opposing prejudices like racism, xenophobia, and homophobia. Yes, there's no room for this brand of nutbag thinking in our fair corner of the world..."

"'Obama excited millions of voters - and then disappointed them," he said. 'Obama and the Democratic Party have failed to live up to the idealism of those that voted for him. People who want progressive social change - an end to the wars, a healthy environment, jobs for all, single-payer healthcare - have learned that they can't get it through the Democrats. And, of course, they already knew they couldn't get it through the Republicans....'"

"[La Botz:] We have spoken to thousands of people in the state, had our platform and positions published in many newspapers and received radio and television coverage of the campaign. We brought a Federal Election Commission complaint to protest our exclusion from the debates organized by the newspapers and television stations in the state. While we hope to receive thousands of votes, we will also measure the success of this campaign by our own goals of carrying out an educational campaign, building networks of activists, and creating a small socialist movement in Ohio...."

"On key issues such as health care, the environment and military spending, La Botz suggests that we organize society around the needs of a working woman with children. 'If we took care of such a woman, we would take care of everyone,' says La Botz. In our society today, however, 'everything is organized around the needs of a CEO ... and we can't move forward politically, culturally or economically while we are dominated by the corporation....'"

Diana Demers for University of Michigan Board of Regents
Associated Press


"QUESTION: What is your top issue in this race?


Demers: Above all, we need to bring workplace and school place democracy to the University of Michigan.

I support the existing unions of the University of Michigan and hope to see full unionization of all employees, greater employee control, and stronger and more participatory student unions..."
