[Peace-discuss] Should the PrairieGreens endorse David Gill in Illinois' 13th Congressional district?

[Szoke, Ronald Duane]

"Anyone running as a Democrat will be a supporter of the Democrats’ pro-war/pro-Wall St. policies (even if covertly, like Sanders).”

Gosh, how do you know this?  Was David Green, running as a Democrat, a supporter of the Democrats’ pro-war/pro-Wall St. policies (even if covertly, like Sanders)?  Horrors!  How can we find out what other villainies Sanders, Gill & Green are covert supporters of?

Apparently David Gill’s not interested in running as a Green for the local House seat (IL-13).

Should the PrairieGreens therefore look for a candidate who supports our platform?

The Democrats in control of the Illinois legislature have made ballot access almost impossible for third parties.

It would take a lot of work to gather the necessary signature, but it might be worth it.

We should inquire whether Gill’s interested and if so whether he supports the ’10 values’ and the platform David Green is drafting.

Pros & cons can be assessed via email, as well as the possiblity that the Prairie Greens should have their own candidate.

Maybe we should discuss it at our next Green Party meeting.
