"Who funds you, runs you." - Butch Ware
Green candidates on the West Coast are making some noise! Prof. Butch Ware, and Justin Filip won't be denied a voice in our politics.
We invite you to listen to Prof. Ware's comments from the CBS California Gubernatorial Candidate Forum in Sacramento earlier this week. "They couldn't freeze the Green Party out of this one."
And in Eugene, candidate for U.S. Congress, Justin Filip, has been nominated for "Best Local Politician", and "Best Hellraiser" - part of the "Best of Eugene" voting hosted by the Eugene Weekly.
From the Justin for Congress campaign: "We are excited that our campaign is getting some attention. We plan to use it to further amplify our message and our demands: End U.S. aid to Israel, ensure strong protections for our environment, meaningfully address the housing crisis and put the interests of the people over the interests of the ruling class.
We want to make this a referendum on genocide and the environment and what we expect from our representatives. It's a way for voters to say they prefer a Green candidate to the candidates from the corporate parties, and it costs us nothing. It's a way we can chip away at the duopoly. Let them hear you now and then again next November!"
