Pushing CNN
If you visit this link it will take you to a page at CNN where you can push their story about McKinney winning the nomination higher on their scale. Maybe if enough people give it a “thumbs up” it will actually result in more coverage. Hey, it’s worth a try…
Gregg,
Thanks for the updates.
keep ‘em coming.
Did Cynthia and Rosa outline a positive agenda for ballot access in the time remaining?
Are they addressing the collapse of of the Indy bank, and FDIC take over in California this weekend?
The implications for working folks, the middle class?
Thanks
Any more coverage by cnn wll be negative coverage.
Expect to hear about “cop slapping”, she won’t be on her state ballot and has raised only around 1k in the state; the GP is broke & had to borrow money for its convention: the GP didn’t qualify for matching federal funds & won’t be on many state ballots, etc. etc…….

I like that idea Zeleni. In fact, I like it even though at first I thought you wrote pro-Military sites, not pro-Hillary sites, but the idea is the same. If we are going to get to 5% we will have to do things that make us uncomfortable, like talking with pro-Hillary and pro-Military types.
Pat LaMarche came to South Carolina to campaign with Marines stationed in one of our military bases. Greens come from all walks of life, and many, most in fact, don’t even know they are green yet. Our responsibility is to show them
