Statement of support for Occupy Minnesota
The Green Party of Minnesota stands in solidarity with the 99% -- those people in America who do not have the power and privilege of owning 40% of the nation's wealth.
We support the efforts of OccupyMN and the peaceful encampment on the People's Plaza in Minneapolis, as well as similar occupations nationwide.
We support the "one demand" of Occupied Wall Street:
Ending capital punishment is our one demand.
Ending wealth inequality is our one demand.
Ending police intimidation is our one demand.
Ending corporate censorship is our one demand.
Ending the modern gilded age is our one demand.
Ending political corruption is our one demand.
Ending joblessness is our one demand.
Ending poverty is our one demand.
Ending health-profiteering is our one demand.
Ending American imperialism is our one demand.
Ending war is our one demand.
These demands are consistent with the Green Party's four pillars of Ecological Wisdom, Nonviolence, Social and Economic Justice and Grassroots Democracy. Together let us build a just and sustainable society where people live in harmony with each other and with nature.

GE is doing a "strategic investment" of up to $40 million in the Pasadena company. GE no doubt likes concentrating solar power (CSP) because it integrates well with natural gas (GE is a gas turbine maker)......
