[Peace-discuss] Parnarauskis to speak on campus

[Morton K. Brussel]

Hello Tom,

Are you being naive or hiding the truth that the main reason the Dems  
don't want Joe P. on the ballot is because they think he will take  
votes away from their candidate. On the other hand the Repubs are for  
his appearance on the ballot because ….  As for the other reasons you  
cite, of course many Dems, especially the politicos, are part of the  
power/corporate structure, but not all are. I think honesty is  
important in creating a movement, and one must face the facts that  
our electoral system is lousy and loaded against non-major parties.  
Nonetheless, we must persist, and I wish you luck.
