For me, it seems clear that our country needs another political party. One that is committed to social and environmental justice. Obama seems great, as far as he goes. But will gettin him elected change much? I really doubt it. Both the Donkeys and the Elephants represent the status quo structure of power. For social and environmental change to happen, we need a different economic structure. The Haves, whether Donkey or Elephant, benefit immensely from our current economic structure. The Donkey/Elephant candidates need the Haves' money in order to get elected. The Haves get their money from the current structure. A merry-go-round, if you will...that brings us closer and closer to environmental collapse.

We need a whole different approach--wholly outside the current paradigm.

Nader represents such an approach.

It takes time to change structures of power. Voting over and over for a Donkey or Elephant, hoping for different results, well...perhaps that's one of the definitions of insanity.

I vote over and over for Nader because I believe we need a deep, fundamental restructuring of our economic structure. Voting for Nader shows that. Besides, if the bad guys have rigged the voting machines,all the more reason.
