[Peace-discuss] Pull a Green Party Ballot Today!

[C. G. Estabrook]

In the general election, I certainly intend to vote for Whitney for governor, 
etc., but in the primary, it may be worthwhile to vote for the only anti-war 
candidate among the Republicans and Democrats - Cheryle Jackson, candidate for 
senator.

I'll take a Democratic ballot and vote for her - as the only way an anti-war 
opinion can be registered in this thoroughly cooked election. --CGE
