WHY GREEN? WHY RUN?

"The Democrats and Repulicans are the octopus arms of a corporate powerhouse motivated by greed and willing to do ANYTHING to make money and increase their wealth and power. They are dangerous in the extreme.The only way I know of to stop them is to organize into coalitions, building community as we go. Our enemy is anti-community and feeds off it. They use divide and conquer tactics to stop us and have been quite successful thus far. Running as a Green affords me the ability to give voice to issues that are otherwise unheard."

Venceremos!
Allen Cooper
