GUEST,GoGreens! BS: McKinney Wins Green Party Endorsement! (22) RE: BS: McKinney Wins Green Party Endorsement! 15 Jul 08


No, Nader is running as an independent this year, and wasn\'t seeking the Green Party of the US endorsement, though he did speak at their National Meeting last year in PA.

They share many of the same constituents, have organized to reform ballot access laws nationally to level the playing field for independent candidates and third parties, and are serious about getting a place in national debates.

They also share many positions on the issues and the broken political system. Impeachment of Bush and Cheney is one example, but there are many.

They aren\'t running against each other--and that will be a paradigm the narrow \"win or lose\" minded people won\'t get. But that\'s OK. Their candidacies are all about building a mainstream reform movement. Nothing in the US will change, nor will the US democracy be salvaged, if this movement is suffocated by the two party corporate woned and controlled political system.
