I'm wondering if I just uploaded my first campaign ad... or anti-ad. It is now my first campaign video. A couple of weeks ago, on a radio talk show, a neighbor of mine and the talk show host started talking about my campaign. This was brought to my attention and I decided I wanted to upload it. To do that I had to turn the audio into a video, so I decided to make my first slideshow in iPhoto using my friend Rick Childs' recent photos of me. Thus it is now a campaign video. A couple of corrections of their comments. I am a Green politics person. I ran campaigns going back to the Citizens Party from 1980 -1982. The Citizens party was the first U.S. Green Party and was recognized by the European Green parties as such with a personal presentation at one of our conventions. Since the formation of the specifically-named Green Movement in the U.S. in 1985, I have been on-and-off involved and registered Green since the first meeting of the East Bay Green Alliance. I was also very involved with the movement (and debated Murray Bookchin three times about Earth First!) at the first Green Movement convention in Amherst, MA in 1987. Anna is right when she phrased her comment that I was running for the Green Party. Literally, that is correct but specifically it is not. In this 2010 election I am a Green running to get elected by winning in the Democratic Primary. I'm sort of the anti-Arlen Spector who is a Republican Senator now running in the Democratic Party. However, I am not and never will be a Democrat. Once elected, from the inside of Congress, I will do everything I can to change electoral law to break down as many barriers to third party participation in governing as I can organize. I will get arrested demonstrating for third party access. So, yes, in the broader sense I am definitely running for the advancement of the Green Party. I would like to hear from you folks if I should snip out Anna's comments about Arnold. I have mixed feelings about it.
