Who's running for the Green party nomination? (Nader-Free Zone) |
|
I heard Camejo, but haven't checked it out.
And don't you dare bring Nader into this thread.

I had the privilege of hearing David Cobb speak at a mock trial in Dallas at UTD, in the spring of 2002, he was the prosecuter against Exxon/Mobile.
I did not know at the moment I heard him speaking, who he was, but I turned to my husband and said this man is presidential material. Throughout the course of the next year, I had many more opportunities to hear him speak and get to know him. Each and every time my first opinion was reinforced. If any one here has the opportunity to meet David or to hear him speak, go. You will not regret it. You will be inspired and moved to action.
I just wish more people could hear David Cobb speak out against the corporatization of the US, and what we (as the people) can do to stop it. It always has been and always will be the US, a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Unfortunately, many of the people are only going to wake up, far too late, to realize the truth of the democracy they held in their hands, that they let slip away for security and safety.

I'm rooting for Camejo, he was great in the recall debates and if it's down to Kerry or Camejo I can have a vote to be proud of. Thank's again!

I hate to say it as a Green, but right now we all need the Dem to win.
No good building a party up when the country is being torn down.
Everywhere else on the ballot vote Green or what have you if you want to. But this ONE time, vote Dem for prez no matter who is on the ballot.
Then fight tooth and nail for some real election reform during that Dem's term

5. I just can't stomach Kerry. |
|
He's just the complete opposite of my beliefs. Taking a stand, being honest, listening to the facts and then making a decision, standing by your decision, admitting you were wrong.

7. I would imagine they might in some instances... |
|
say Wellstone or Feingold and such. They might have done it for DK or Dean, I doubt that though. I have no actual evidence of this though and I'm frankly talking out of my rear, yet I'm still typing, me wonders why.

8. Hmmm Not that I know of, BUT it doesn't mean it hasn't happened |
|
Though a few small groups of Greens have endorsed Kucinich. Like a town by town thing, I think. New Hampshire had that I happen, if I recall.
You have to understand, though, that the Greens being a small decentralized party don't operate quite like the larger two parties. There is a national party but the state ones kinda do their own thing more in some ways.
