[Peace-discussion] The Green Party is Dying, Nader has vast majority of Green Votes: Gloria LaRiva from ANSWER ties Cynthia McKinney on California Peace and Freedom Party Ticket

[David Strand]

Cynthia Mckinney, if you include the votes for Jared
Ball who has thrown his support to Cynthia Mckinney,
the same day recieved nearly 70% of the vote in
Illinois Green Party primaries.

Nader via Howie Hawkins recieve 17% of the vote in
Illinois.

Mumia Abu Jamal & Angela Davis, and Elaine
herself(based on her late Jan. speech at CSU at
Sonoma) are still calling on people to register and
vote Green this year.

You can view Elaine Brown's speech here.

Note the first question from the audience was about
her presence on the GP primary ballot in CA and who
she believes folks should support for president.

Also as usual, great speech(though I disagree with the
swipe at primo anti war & feminist activist Eve
Ensler).
