To the Greens and the Leaders of Chicago Peace, Truth, Election
Integrity and Justice communities,
     There are 2 races coming up that the Greens and the P, T , EI+J
communities should be coming together around now!  Ralm Emanuel's seat
in the CD5 and probably Jesse Jackson's seat in CD2. We must recruit
that sharpest candidates that we can find but the most loyal
candidates to the Peace, Justice, Truth, Election Integrity and Green
party movements and then we all must work together in those districts
to get them elected.
We can do this! Yes we can!!!!  It would be such a great move for the
country to have Greens who represent the P, T, EI +J communities in
the House!!!!! We should ask for help from the National Green Party
and the individual State Green parties for donations and actual help
on the ground. I am hoping that the National Green party will agree.
     Barack Obama's victory aside, the Democratic Party in this state
has undermined the candidates who are truly against all the Wars. All
I need to mention is Christine Cegelis and I rest my case. So to get a
really serious anti-war candidate elected I think we have to go Green!
          Please everyone let me know who you think would be the best
candidates in those cong. districts 2 and 5, the Kucinichs, McKinneys,
Nadars out there, we all know someone like that. I know we must have
some people in those districts who would be sharp, impressive
candidates, but real Peace, Truth, Justice, Election Integrity and
Green candidates, not a sham peace candidate or a pandering candidate
to AIPAC like Schakowsky or Seals.
      If you know anyone in those districts who is really sharp, has a
great record of activism, has maybe even run for some office before
and well spoken, who might consider running on a broad platform for
Peace, Justice, Truth, Election Integrity and the 10 key values of the
Green Party, please give them my number, 773-486-7660.
     I am really thinking that Jesse Jackson Jr is going to be
Blagovich's pick for replacing Obama because it removes one of Daley's
major rivals but if others have strong proof of any of the other
potential Blagovich picks then please let me know that as well, so we
can look for candidates in their CDs and see if we can be one step
ahead in this game!
     I will merely be the organizer of these meetings of the potential
candidates, I give you my word I will not vet them myself. They will
do that with each other. I am just trying to get the ball rolling in
an organized fashion. We, P, J, T, EI Greens, have to hit the ground
running with these seats to have a chance of winning them and we have
to avoid in-fighting if at all possible. This seems to be the fairest
way, for the candidates to vet themselves.
