our list of borrowed books, let's work to put
a clause in the act requiring the agents actually
read the books themselves.

This
is the first hurdle that they face; getting enough
valid signatures by May 1st to get on the ballot.
They need to establish a core of trained organized
volunteers in the near future. We are looking
for volunteers to work all over the state but
particularly in the Cleveland area. Help get Greens

WHO SAID
IT?
1) "Naturally
the common people don't want war; ... But after all,
it is the leaders of the country who determine policy,
and it is always a simple matter to drag the people
along ... . All you have to do is to tell them they
are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack
of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It
works the same in any country." [?]
2) "Democrats
have tried to rig elections so only two teams can play.
Republicans have tried to rig elections so only one
team can win. Greens demand fair, free, and open elections.
The only real democracy is multi-party democracy." [?]
3) "To
announce that there must be no criticism of the President,
or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally
treasonable to the American public." [?]
4) "But
when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing
invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce
them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it
is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to
provide new Guards for their future security." [?]
5) For all
our shortcomings it was we who gave David Cobb a legal
leg to stand on in demanding the Ohio Recount of 2004
(and that was only because Gwen Marshall took the initiative
to file a write-in candidacy form). That recount was
at least a small part of what led to the challenge of
the 2004 Presidential Election in Congress in January.
That challenge was significant - the first such challenge
since the 1870's. If we had never done anything else
or ever do anything else in the future, for that, we
can be proud. [?]
