> How We Can Save America: A Practical Solution

16 February 2006, 16:05

You speak of getting people like Jim Hightower, Ed Schultz, Alex Jones, Mark Crispin Miller, Howard Zinn, Gore Vidal on board to support your plan. Most of them supported Dennis Kucinich’s Presidential campaign in 2004. What good did it do? The American people yawned and changed channels. And of course in the end Kucinich rolled over and spread his cheeks for War Monger Kerry.

And then there is the fact that the Democrats are pushing hard to make it all but impossible for third parties to run for office. No campaign funds for a third party candidate who can’t get signatures from at least 20% of the voters in the last election. This is part of HR 4694 sponsored by David Obey and cosponsored by, among others, Barney Frank, James McGovern and Henry Waxman—all supposed “liberal” Democrats.
