The Governor’s race is in a separate category from the Senate races, because no matter how many votes the Green Party candidates get for their Senate candidates, it will not give them a ballot line. But if Hawkins and Mattera can rack up 50,000 votes, then New Yorkers will have a real “party of the left” on the ballot. It would be good for New York if we had a real third party – and, God bless them, the Working Families Party isn’t it. We
need a party which is independent of the corporate structure, and that is the Green Party.
On issues which I think matter – ending the drug war, equal marriage rights for gays and lesbians, cradle to grave medicare for all, public banks, etc. – the Greens offer a real choice.
