Green News and Opinion

Describing himself as a lifelong Democrat who took a temporary leave-of-absence to participate in the Green Party, Walter Ballin writes a column over at Daily KOS in which he suggests that we Greens must reject all campaigns for office at the state-wide or national level. According to him, we should not run anyone for President, US Senate, Governor, Superintendent of Education, State Supreme Court, or any other such position. Read the "Comments" and you'll find that the "netroots" of the Democratic Party has a visceral hatred for we Greens. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans offer us any hope of real progress.

Money talks, and it's been whispering in Democratic and Republican ears for decades.
