[Imc-alternatives] alternatives.indymedia.org at the upcomingnorthwest social forum

[Sheri Herndon]

hi,

i completely understand.  but it seems that it would be a great goal to have the
alternatives site up and running in time for the us elections and beyond.  if we
aren't talking about the alternatives sooner than later, it doesn't really
matter about the us elections.  we'll just keep repeating the same mistakes over
and over again.  the structural issues are deeper than which candidate will win,
a democrat or a republican.  i want bush out of office as much as anyone :)))
who doesn't?  (no need to answer), but to take a longer vision is what is needed
and i think that the alternatives.indymedia.org site is part of that.  getting
it used at the upcoming european social forum in london (mid october) and the
local nw social forum in seattle would be good starting points for it (mid
october)......

anyone else?

also, i am not getting MY emails to imc-alterantives which is strange, they
don't come through, but responses do....

much love
sheri
