Article on the Labor Party in the new Labor Notes

[Alex LoCascio]

There's an article in the September Labor Notes about the LP's upcoming
constitutional convention.  One of the themes of the event will be how
the Party will do elections.  I was kind of dismayed to learn that the
LP will reject the "fusion" tactic that has won the New Party so many
victories.  Now, I know endorsing Democrats is regarded as a no-no on
the radical left, but c'mon now.  If you've got a congressional
district  where an extremely pro-labor candidate is running, why not
endorse?  Here in Charlotte, we're fighting hard to help Mel Watt keep
his seat, and I can only imagine how much it would suck if we had a
local LP chapter that refused to endorse him despite his 100% positive
record on voting with Labor simply because he's a Democrat.

Anyway, are there any other Labor Party members here?  Anyone planning
on going to the convention in November?
