A vote for Hawkins and Mattera is a vote for a more inclusive multi-party system like in other countries. Or so says Pechefsky: “50,000 votes for governor gets you ballot status, ballot status means it is much easier to get people on the ballot in City Council and State legislature races.” In other words: a vote for a Green candidate is a vote for Greens and that could create a regular spot for the Greens on New York ballots.

That’s one of the reasons why I am voting for Hawkins. I also like his efforts to make the Wall St goons pay a little closer to their fair share in taxes.
Definitely. Wall Street constantly gets praised for the mess it created, while the rest of us are shamed into paying for it.
