[Peace-discussion] RE: GP ADVISORY Greens endorse, join Jan. 27 protest in DC against Iraq War

[henry duke]

Has gpax or the GPUSA endorsed the March 17th, March on the =
Pentagon?????

Many green parties in California have, including my Green Party of =
Orange
County.

Unfortunateley it took over a month to get any action vis a vis a mere
endorsement.

This needs remedy.

Other than Ralph Nader or Barbara Lee, is their any possibility of a =
serious
Green Presidential candidate?

The Los Angeles Jan 27th demo is gonna be MASSIVE!

Keep up the great work!
