Green Party Looking to Gain Visibility Thru Illinois Primary
Produced by Rob Wildeboer on Wednesday, December 05, 2007

With the Illinois primary exactly two months away, voters have been flooded with news about Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee and other well-known democrats and republicans. Less well known are Cynthia McKinney, Jared Ball, Howie Hawkins and Kent Mesplay.

These presidential candidates are seeking the Green Party nomination and their appearance on Illinois' primary ballot is expected to help the local party in a very simple way.

Those citizens that want to abolish the American oligarchic form of government should vote for the Green Party, and put Cynthia McKinney at the head of the ticket. That's the very least one can do; the real task is to create multiple people's movements that will force an end to imperial warfare - a prerequisite for all the other tasks that face humanity. But opposition to oligarchy operates in a state of invisibility in America. Corporate media, through whose bizarre, distorted lenses most people view their nation and world, can make the opposition disappear, in an instant. Remember Dennis Kucinich? Most people don't, thanks to private media corporations that stage-manage and slick-package cosmetic versions of U.S. public discourse and call it "democracy."
