Letters to the Editor

We’re Listening

Conducive would like your feedback.

Bush is gone, Obama was elected on a platform of “yes we can,” so the time seems ripe for social change. And yet the power of entrenched lobbyists has never seemed more powerful, as can be seen with health care, energy and global warming, and the bank bailout. Many social programs are taking a hit now that recession is affecting state and local funding.

Conducive would like to know: What do you envision as key activist goals in these uncertain and difficult times? How can we make them happen?

Write us and tell us what you think about how we are doing. Letters, not exceeding 200 words, must include your full name, address, and telephone number for verification. Only your name and town of residence will be published. Letters may be reprinted on Conducive and may be edited for length and clarity.

    Members of the Wisconsin legislature may vote today – March 6, 2012 – to suspend recently agreed upon rules in the state that streamlined and made more efficient the state’s wind siting requirements.

  • Association of Black Women Historians Blasts ‘The Help’

    We can thank the British for many things: the colonization of much of the world, not passing on their dentistry or cooking skills, our accents, the postage stamp, Mr. Bean, the pay toilet and gravity, just to name a few. But one thing we have never given them credit for is creating the wedding industry. […]
