Dear Caroline, et al.: <br>
<br>
<br>
Well said, Caroline. I also think the Greens should be open
to endorsing someone like Kucinich if he actually were to get
nominated by the Democrats. I think that's exceedingly unlikely.
This reminds me of a discussion we had recently to exclude people as
delegates who were "standing in" for possible candidates who were
not registered Green. I can't remember what we decided about that,
but the need to build and work in coalition is a strong reason NOT
to exclude consideration of candidates who were not registered
Green. <br>
<br>
<br>
Best Wishes, <br>
<br>
Spencer <br>

<div>I had a MoveOn phone calling at my house last year.
Most of the women were very surprised to find out I was
a Green, but I pointed out that MoveOn was supposed to
be a non-partisan, progressive group, and that I was
happy to work with other progressive people. I was at a
gathering last Saturday where we filled out the four
pages of the questionnaire. Not much was said. The
gathering was for another purpose. I have no idea what
party anybody else belonged to. MoveOn does some great
communicating. This can work to our advantage. We can
pick and choose which of their projects we get involved
with. Being stand-offish is not going to help us build
the coalitions we need to become a national force.</div>
