Greens say: 'Jail BP'
New York City--Greens joined other groups in a great demonstration May 28. Several hundred people showed up, and the police decided to close the BP station at Houston and Lafayette Streets. This corner is a major traffic intersection, a subway station and bus line. Thousands of people pass by, especially during rush hour. The demo was shown on several channels that night. The Manhattan Greens had the NYC Green Party banner and gave out leaflets which read:
J A I L B P !!
The Manhattan Green Party Local says:
1. Prosecute the top bosses of BP, Massey and Halliburton for their massive crimes and jail them.
2. Ban offshore oil drilling, mountaintop removal and hydrofracking.
3. Leave filthy energy and go to clean solar and wind energy. Tax the polluting cartels and set up publicly elected energy boards. 4. Leave the corporate-controlled Democratic/Republican Parties and join the Green Party--your party for the greening of your country.
Greens should now take the lead in other demonstrations focusing on the worst ecological disaster in the history of the U.S. and perhaps the world!
