Republican National Convention Protests 2008
Although the Republicans have seized control of every hotel room in the
Minneapolis/St. Paul area for their September 1-4 Convention, we at the
Grassroots Netroots Aliance (GNA) are providing a people-to-people match up
service for visitors needing a place to stay and those in the Twin Cities willing to provide housing or backyard camping space over
the long Labor Day Weekend (Aug. 29-Sept 4). If you are coming to the Twin
Cities and need a place to stay, or if you live in the Twin Cities and are
willing to serve as a host, please contact us.

WAR & PEACE
The
overwhelming majority of Americans are opposed to the war and occupation
in Iraq; concerned that its eventual three trillion-dollar price tag
robs money from pressing domestic needs; and alarmed at the idea
of waging future wars for oil... Read

Climate Crisis
Millions of Americans are alarmed by the prospect of our current climate crisis turning in to a full-blown climate catastrophe, and support the idea of a massive Green New Deal to conserve energy...

family farmers and workers throughout the Americas...
Health

a large percentage of the U.S. population lacks access

About the Grassroots Netroots Alliance
The GNA is a new nationwide effort to build up a radical netroots and grassroots army of millions of voters and activists. GNA sees itself as complementary, yet also an alternative, to MoveOn.org and other pre-existing progressive, radical, and libertarian online networks.
GNA believes that America's life or death, multi-faceted Crisis demands that we move beyond watered down, single-issue campaigns and limited focus campaigning to a comprehensive multi-issue platform that stimulates local alliance building and grassroots action, focused on pressuring the politicians, and supporting candidates and legislation that can move us out of the Crisis.
GNA's first major project is a comprehensive 2008 Candidate Survey, which we are asking you to send to all your elected representatives and candidates for office at the local, county, state and federal levels.
