From Who We Are: http://changein04.com/mainContent/whoweare.php

"Despite some very important differences between Green party positions and those of Senator Kerry (esp. the Iraq Resolution and the Patriot Act), we are endorsing and actively supporting John Kerry for President. Despite some very important differences between Green party positions with those of Senator Kerry, he has been a consistent and effective advocate on a fair number of progressive causes including environmental protection, healthcare reform, civil rights, womens' rights, gun control, campaign finance reform, and government corruption."

I'm just sayin'...

1. If the Greens are going to endorse someone
rather than nominate their own candidate, Kerry makes more sense than Nader.

2. Kerry is great.....

But the 2-party, winner-take-all election system still stinks.

As soon as Kerry is in and we have a Democratically controlled Congress, I'd like to join a couple of million like-minded people in Washington D.C. to demand instant run-off voting, abolishing the electoral college, the restoration of the Fairness Doctrine, publicly funded elections, the repeal of the Patriot Act, and an immediate pull-out from Iraq.....among other things.
