[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]

Ahhh.... My apologies everyone.  The Elaine Brown
wasn't posted to you tube until Jan. 25th but it
actually took place on Nov. 14th.  That's what I get
for not double checking the original source.  Still a
good speech over all so enjoy.
