Jack Lindblad, in his public comment for the Commission on the 21st
Century Economy, received, read and acknowledged by Governor
Schwarzenegger, posted under "Public Comments" - as a pdf, draws
together the economic and ecological collapses' connectedness to urge
a steady state economy and tax policy based on relocalization and
bio-regional determinism to retire endemic deficit spending and adapt
to, mitigate, and restore ecological services from climate change by
reducing emissions 70% by 2015 for a less than 2 °C rise from 2000
levels to avoid escalating, horrific effects of deepening social,
economic and ecological collapse.
Mr. Lindblad vied for the 39th State Assembly District seat in 2008;
was the only Green candidate on the ballot for California Legislative
office; is now running to win in 2010 by building on the successes of
his 2008 campaign, and lives in the San Fernando Valley. Focusing on
water issues, sustainability and a steady-state economy, Lindblad is
using viral media, including Twitter and has designed his own Blogger
site to promote his campaign. He anchors his award-winning sustainable
architecture practice with an urban design and healthcare facility
emphasis in the San Fernando Valley. His work is recognized for
excellence and innovation.
Lindblad campaigns on a Green-values platform for more parks, for a
carbon-neutral, steady state economy basing development on
bio-regional determinism, not developers. He has supported various
community grass-root efforts, including forming neighborhood councils,
authoring sustainable community plans, stopping gentrification,
revitalizing the Tujunga-Pacoima Watershed, and assisting in the 'No
on B' winning effort to provide unfettered solar power to Los Angeles
stakeholders.
Mr. Lindblad campaigns on the Green Ten Key Values of a Green New Deal
in the California Legislature to build a relocalized, bioregional,
steady state economy - arising from the financial meltdown and 'Great
Disruption' borne of a failed-growth economy. Repudiating the failed,
" business-as-usual" growth economy, whether in politics or his
architecture practice, will lessen the likelihood of human extinction.
Being a effective squeaky wheel in advocacies for health-care patient
rights against Big Insurance, for local water reliance, successful in
the Panorama City commercial area revitalization and in tipping the
balance against the Mayor of Los Angeles thwarted solar power grab has
prepared Lindblad to be his District's grassroots community advocate
in the State Legislature.
Lindblad's overall vote count attained 8.06% - comprising over 1600%
of the 39th Assembly District's Green registered base to rank among
the top Green Party results whether for partisan or non-partisan
contests.
Lindblad's 2006 and 2008 GPLAC Council Council runs (representing the
20th State Senate District) and 2008 Assembly run - requiring
signature gathering to qualify to be placed on the ballot - yielded
140 new Green Party registrants, and represented a 2008 increase of
Green registrants by 20%, signaling a reversal of a steady decline
over the past ten years and seeing ongoing growth in organizing Green
Party registration numbers in the east San Fernando Valley, and
Lindblad's home 39th Assembly District.
2006-2009 Delegate to GPCA plenaries. Attended July 2008 ANC GPUS
Presidential Nominating Convention, May 2009 Venice, August 2008
Orange County, May 2007 San Francisco GPCA plenaries. Jack Lindblad
