This isn’t strictly Green Party related, but I thought it was valuable anyway.

The Campaign for America’s Future presented an conference in Washington in the first week of June 2005.

You should definitely check out the speeches available as streaming video (keep reading below for audio links) at their Interactive Conference area.

My favorites can be found on that page:

  1. Bill Moyers, no introduction needed.
  2. Kim Gandy, President, National Organization of Women, see below
  3. Rev. Jim Wallis, author of God’s Politics, Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn’t Get It see below

Kim Gandy is absolutely stunning and takes no prisoners.

Rev. Jim Wallis is inspiring.

Moyers speaks as well as ever on a myriad of political topics.

When I first looked there, there was only the Bill Moyers, so I set about extracting the Gandy and Wallis audio from the video, so if you have a link too slow for the video, or you just like that olde time radio speech feel, you can hear Kim Gandy (streaming audio only) here, and the Rev. Jim Wallis (streaming audio only) here.

These audio links should even work on slower links, but if you have a telephone modem slower than 56k, you can bite the bullet and download the entire thing and then listen to Kim Gandy here (streaming audio, full download first, 6 MB, ~ 24 min. on a 32kbps modem) or Rev. Jim Wallis here (streaming audio, full download first, 6 MB, ~ 24 min. on a 32kbps modem)

(If you want to hear the speech Moyers gave at The National Conference for Media Reform (May 13-15), you can choose. Streaming video (see link on the conference website), streaming audio–use this link, it will not require the full download, unlike the one on the conference website, or read the transcript at the conference link.)
