"Why should people consider taking a harder look at the Green Party?"
short, very sweet
Essence.com interviews Cynthia
An in depth response to this question at runcynthiarun.org:
"I am entering this process because I believe a successful Green Party campaign can do the following:
--Institutionalize the Green Party as a meaningful, effective, and permanent part of the United States' political landscape;
--Popularize and grow the Green Party as an electoral/social vehicle to unite people across socio-economic lines that are often used to divide;
--Recognize and publicize the internationalization of problems facing average households across our nation;
--Inject radical common sense solutions into our national political debate; and
--Positively affect public policy to improve our quality of life with justice for all.
I accept and endorse the Green Party's Ten Key Values. The Green Party has a platform that our country and our planet needs--from justice and peace at home and abroad, to bringing about universal access to health care; from enacting living wages and addressing climate change, to defending and expanding our civil rights, civil liberties, and more.
Democracy will only be served if the voice of all people can be heard. A Green Party Presidential campaign in 2008 can help make that happen.
I firmly believe that the crisis facing our country today is such that we now have to do some things we've never done before in order to have some things we've never had before. I stand with you, ready to help bring that about.
Thank you!"
