There are other political parties?
October 9, 2008
Usually voters go to the polls trying to decide who is the lesser of two evils. But I urge you not to forget that there are other political parties out there who’s platforms aren’t connected to lobbyists or corporate backings. They stand for the people. The green party ticket is Cynthia McKinney/Rosa Clemente. And Ralph Nadar is running with Matt Gonzalez. Check out their websites at http://www.gp.org/index.php and http://www.votenader.org/index.html repsectively.

No third parties in last night’s debate however Democracy Now! at http://www.democracynow.org/ has Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nadar on the show today (Oct 16) and you can read the transcript, listen or watch the show and hear what some third party candidates have to say in response to the topics in the debate.

On Sunday October 19th there will be a third party debate at the Columbia Political Union at Columbia University (NY). All six candidates seeking presidency are invited; however, no one expects McCain or Obama to make an appearance. Ralph Nadar, Chuck Baldwin, and Cynthia McKinney will be there, and Bob Barr is still a maybe.

So as it turns out I don’t think the third party debate happened, sorry about that but I heard Cynthia McKinney on Democracy Now! say she would be there. Anyway, in terms of third party voting for this election you may want to consider voting for the lesser of two evils this time. Especially if you’re in a state that is a toss up, i.e. Montana, North Dakota, Indinana, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, and most of all Missouri, you’re vote is going to matter a lot. Other states where the race is basically won for either McCain or Obama go ahead and vote third party. The trends and polls show, however, that most people will not being voting third party. This election is too big, too historical it seems for voters to make a stand on traditional politics. Well, I guess maybe in four years we can give it a go again.
PS
Do NOT forget to vote. It is your right, don’t forfeit it.

Regardless of who Chris Daggett hurts, Daggett is not a spoiler and he can win.
Daggett has broken 20 percent and can win. The Washington Post says at 20% there is a path for Daggett to win and political analysts say with 25% in the polls Daggett can win.
Now its a matter of getting that last 100,000 votes to get Daggett in a position to win.
To do that we are reaching out to voters that want to Vote for Daggett but are afraid a vote for Daggett is a wasted vote. So…
The I’ll vote for Daggett Pledge:
“I want to vote for Chris Daggett, but only if he has a real chance of winning. He needs pledges from 100,000 people like me. I don’t want to wait til Election Day to find out that those votes existed, but we were all afraid to cast them. So, I’m signing my name below, with my address to prove that I’m real, and pledging that if 100,000 people like me sign up, I will vote for Daggett.”

Spread the word about this pledge, so we can bring an end to politics as usual.
The broken and corrupt two party system threatens us all, event if we are not from NJ. Take a stand.
