There are no "Safe Choices"!
Jeff and Rose Roby are two outstanding activists in Florida. They publish the fine "Saint Petersburg Independents" online. Here is another good analysis.
Read moreThird Party Cooperation with Democrats
Brandy Baker, an activist with her BA and Masters Degree from the University of Baltimore, here sounds a timely warning. Democrats have long been known to have a few candidates voting or sounding correctly to suck third parties or candidates into supporting them and then firmly turning away and working to destroy any third party that offers an alternative.

Scott McLarty is the guest writer. Scott is a long time Green Party activist who knows how hard it is to fight the duopoly and gives wise counsel here. Most do not realize to even get on the ballot requires an effort in each state starting about a year in advance of the election. Even getting permission as a write-in candidate requires time, effort, and money in each state. One should also consider that there is much evidence that votes for write-in candidates - proper or not - are not counted. In many states a write-in ballot is destroyed and loses all other votes for other candidates. Of course, the Green Party is not perfect, but it is a good place to start because they have been fighting these battles for over 30 years. As Scott has said, "Establishment Democrats make the case for the Green Party."

Read moreArguments against third parties and how to counter them
Michael J. Cavlan gave us this article by Matthew Reece. Michael is working on building a Green Party in line with its 10 values. If we are to make meaningful changes then we must advance beyond looking at the two major parties of the duopoly as a football game. It is more important to be right than to vote for a winning candidate that will keep us on the wrong path.
