“…an organization of principled, pragmatic Green Party members and progressive populists dedicated to the goal of defeating George W. Bush in his bid for a second term as president, while simultaneously furthering the growth of the Green Party as an independent alternative to the corporate-dominated parties.
While we do not represent or work with any of the presidential candidates, we believe that this agenda is most-readily forwarded by a strategy designed to maximize the Green Party’s impact. Greens for Impact works to:
- Encourage voters to register Green
- Encourage voters in safe states — those that are so overwhelmingly Republican or Democratic that we can be confident today of who will win there in November — to vote for David Cobb in the General Election
- Encourage voters in swing states to vote for John Kerry in the general election, and
- Actively and forcefully push for the use of instant runoff voting (IRV) wherever suitable, alongside ballot access reform and full public financing of campaigns.”
I was pointed to this site by David Segal, minority leader of the City Council of Providence, RI, and chair of Greens for Impact. Note that one of their particular foci is to dissuade potential Nader, as well as Cobb, supporters in swing states from taking their votes away from Kerry. Segal asks that like-minded people try to steer traffic to their site as we head into the homestretch.
