[Peace-discuss] Democrats move to keep Socialist, Greens off the Ballot

[Thomas Mackaman]

Predictably, the Democrats have attempted to block an 
independent socialist challenge here by claiming that over 
half of the petitions we gathered are invalid.  If you're so 
inclined, you can help by reading the following article and 
then e-mailing County Clerk Mark Sheldon (his e-mail is at 
the bottom of the article) demanding a fair hearing for the 
review of the petitions and the Democrats' objections, which 
will take place on Tuesday.  Please see the link below.

The blocking of all anti-war challengers to the Democrats, 
both myself and the Greens, is a clear attempt to keep 
discussion of the war in Iraq off the table in Novemeber.
