Welcome

We Won the Write-in! Let’s have a debate!

Our democracy is based on GOTV, Getting Out The Vote, and we did it! Most of the grand total of 5,239 write-in votes went to cartoon characters, dogs, or others who did not do the paperwork. Of those who did become “qualified” write-in candidates, I received 832 votes, followed by a Republican with 178 votes, Libertarian 39, No Party Preference 26, and American Independent 3.

The best news is that California will have three Green Party no-corporate-money candidates for Congress on the November ballot: Kenneth Mejia in District 34, Rodolfo Cortes Barragan in District 40, and Laura Wells in District 13.

We need a real debate in California, not between the corporate Democratic and Republican Parties, but a debate between a Democratic Party team player and a Green Party no-corporate-money candidate. This will give people a chance to really dig into the issues, and the options that we have. There are solutions.

The problem in our government is that it is way too easy for the billionaires and their corporations to run our country by buying both parties. Even the best candidates act as “team players” in those two parties. The Democratic Party is the more “liberal” of the two, and yet judging from the policies they enact when in power, the Democratic Party is more conservative than the conservative parties of Europe!

We have the power — voting power, wallet power, rally power — to apply pressure and make needed changes for ourselves and our next generations

Another world is possible. Let’s debate, and move forward on real, Green New Deal solutions.
