We can get into a highly involved discussion here, and I do not
want to "write a book" on this, as there is much that can be said.
However, this is exactly what is wrong with Green Party all over
our nation:  we are not recruiting effective people!

By recruiting, I do not mean a campaign of confronting persons
we deem as being "attractive" to our Green Party's presentation
to the public.  There are people who express interests in political,
environmental, and economic issues that at least parallels, if not
coincides, with our Party's platform.  We need to befriend and
entice those individuals to join Green Party, if not at least ally
ourselves in common interests.

Publicity is a highly necessary factor, however.  We must not be
negatively pessemistic in our outlook, for that is holding us back.
What we need is a refreshed enthusiasm to publicize our Party
and Party platform, and highlight those of us who take a
prominent position in representing our Party.  But, additionally,
we, as individual members of Green Party, also need to be our
Party's best spokespersons and to be alert to opportunities in
which we can entice (not recruit) others to join our party and
become active.  We especially need to entice qualified persons
to run for office:  we need attorneys, government people, and
so on to join us.
