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

[Robert Naiman]

In Cunningham 18, the EJs asked me if I wanted a D, R, or G ballot.

Last night I walked part of my precinct. I ran into a potential voter
who had no idea there was an election today. When I explained that
there was an election for the U.S. Senate and that there was an
anti-war candidate running, he eagerly pledged that he would vote.

What kind of democracy is that, that relies on volunteer efforts to
even inform people that there is an election going on, never mind who
the candidates are and what they stand for?

Until we get control of the damn media, there will be no democracy in the U.S.
