I think it would be much more productive if he didn't run for president
next election, but instead, tried to build the Green Party from the
bottom up: ie., going around and campaigning for local Green Party
candidates. I think people would be more willing to "waste a vote" on a
local candidate, than on a presidential election, given what happened last
time around. Maybe we could even get some Reps in Congress; some smart
folks who wouldn't be afraid to say what needs to be said. ( I think
Nancy Pelosi and Dennis Kucinich are already filling this role admirably.)

It seems the bottom line is since you can't have any choice except by those trimmed by the
multinationals. you might as well vote for one of the multinational canidates because one
appears less multinational than the other. I understand why less than half the people even
bother voting. I would also like to point out that this is the only so called deMockracy
that has no independent oversight over the elections. I see not reason why they ewould be
acurate in the first place, florida just the tip of an iceberg.
