[Sosfbay-discuss] should we take to the strets

[Andrea Dorey]

Only if it costs them their jobs will they (politicians) listen.
That's why we need to convince people to vote Green, not Red and not  
Blue!
Vote for anybody but the two Major Parties!

The growing coalition of Independent, Peace and Freedom, Green, and  
Libertarian has now pulled in the Constitution (?) party.  Those  
combined numbers should be hailed as a block vote against the two  
Major Parties, especially when fueled by the 4-part platform agreed  
to by the first four groups (Nader and McKinney were the very first  
that I heard to shake friendly, congratulatory hands across the aisle).

This is an historic moment when these fragmented parties have reached  
out to agree TOGETHER on legislation (the 4-part platform) that makes  
them stand out from the two Majors!

BTW, did anyone hear that Andrea Dorey and another KPFA listener put  
the fundraising total over the top with our large contributions?  Did  
you also hear the hosts announce that Andrea is a member of the Green  
Party??  Can you spell "political capital"???

Even if they don't announce it over the air, ask the telephone  
volunteer to write Green Party on your contribution, so the station  
knows WE ARE LISTENING, so please report OUR political news along  
with the rest!!

Are you noticing more attention to third parties and especially  
Green?   I am.  Those web links we added to our website also helped  
to empower this new partnership too!

Any more ideas to put third parties in a positive light without  
backing down from or apologizing for running our candidates, even at  
the HIGHEST level, as hard as we can?
Andrea
