The Green Party USA posted its new national committee list, and the names confirm what many observers thought was the case in the last few years: the once-large organization is now just a St. Louis junta with a few isolated loyalists from other places scattered into the mix.

The list (www.greenparty.org/structure.php) shows the following names:

Green National Committee:
Wes Weager (Chicago)
Elizabeth Fattah (Philadelphia)
Willie Marshall (St. Louis)
Nancy Oden (Maine)
Zaki Baruti (St. Louis)
Barbara Chicherio (St. Louis)
Don Fitz (St. Louis)


Alternates are:
Jenny McBride (?)
Susie Parker (St. Louis
Henry Robertson (St. Louis)
Mary Jo Maroney (St. Louis)
Eugene Friesen (St. Louis)
digger (Daniel Ramano) (St. Louis)
Fred Raines (St. Louis)
Jeremy Stattman (St. Louis)

Okay, so the NATIONAL committee consists of four St. Louisans and three people from other places? The alternate list is all St. Louis except for a name I don't recignize that could be a St. Louisan.

This structure finally reflects the reality of Green Party USA: it is a sham, just a junta dominated by Don Fitz. The new national committee list means that Fitz will get his way every time. Even if his out-of-town puppets disagree, the best they could do is be on the losing end of a 4-3 vote. If any of the three outsiders missed a vote, the alterante would be a ST. LOUISAN who would vote in goosestep with FITZ.

GREEN PARTY USA as a real anti-capitalist organization is DEAD!
