Continued Nat Fortune, “We encourage voters who are unenrolled as well as GRP voters to go vote on February 5th and choose a Green-Rainbow ballot. Why? Because if you want real change, if you are really tired of business as usual, corporate greed, and governance by multi-millionaire candidates who have no real understanding of what we face as regular people, the Green Party offers you real choices: people who bring a wide range of experience and commitment to values we share like real participatory democracy and open government, economic well-being and real healthcare for all, a healthy, sustainable environment and an end to illegal wars.” The Green Party Presidential Candidates on the Massachusetts ballot are available to answers the questions of the press (see addendum). In the order of appearance on the Massachusetts ballot:
“As a party representative of regular people, we bring experienced candidates who also include the only other candidates of color and women candidates. If you want to hear more grassroots voices of people who represent the full diversity of America, voters in Massachusetts need to explore what real populist candidates have to offer on the Green-Rainbow Party ballot line,” added Merelice, co-chair of the Green-Rainbow Party. “The list of Green presidential hopefuls includes two women (one of them African American), one African American man, at least two candidates with Native American ancestry, one of Arab ancestry, a former member of Congress, two former Green presidential candidates, an environmental engineer, a college professor, a candidate who will turn 35 in June 2008, and a 73-year-old.” (END) _________________________________________________________ Jared Ball P.O.
