 According to the principle Duverger's Law, only two parties can\nexist in 
 the long run in single-winner, winner-take all elections (such\nas all of 
 ours at the national level). There is only one way for the\nGreen Party to 
 become a viable party in America at the national level,\nas it is in 
 Europe, short of a cataclysmic environmental catastrophe.\nAnd that is to 
 make America a true representative multiparty republic,\nas most of Europe 
 and the civilized world is. Can it be done? Yes, it\ncan. But it will 
 require a temporary national unity grand alliance\nparty in 2008 of 
 everyone from the Greens to Libertarians, and the\nReligious Right, 
 African-Americans, seniors, other liberals, Latinos,\netc. Everyone 
 disenfranchised by the current system. I believe that if\nAmerica realizes 
 that it can have a real uncorrupted representative\nrepublic, in which 
 every vote counts, it will vote for democracy\noverwhelmingly. I propose 
 such a strategy at:\nhttp://www.americanelectionquiz.com/Victory.html The 
 question is, will\nyou join us? Is the Green Party able to compromise and 
 cooperate\nshort-term – the 2008 presidential election - in order to get 
 what\nit wants in the long-term – to become a viable national party 
 in\nAmerica by 2010, with a real effect on American policy? You have 
 the\ngreatest experience in running third-party elections. It cannot be 
 done\nwithout you. Sincerely, Ken Ross, CPA, MBA Atlanta,GA P.S. Today 
 I\nhave mailed over 2600 emails to members of each of the above 
 groups.\nYou are welcome to share this plan with your associates. Happy 
 2008!\nFrom\nJim \n\n14. Can meet most any night. Have an agenda item. The 
 Marin Registrar\nof Voters has invited a representative to be on the 
 Election Observer\nPanel. Cat may be interested. We can have two 
 observers.\nJerry\n\nput up by\n
