You have just said 'Yes there is little difference between Dems and Republicans." Then support alternative parties. The Green Party needs your Presidential vote in order to break the 5% political threshold set by the FEC to gain institutionalized party status. Even more important, our world needs you to run for office, support local non-corporate candidates, become part of a movement that takes back the power from corporate interests and puts it back into the hands of local communities.

I did a quiz and it told me I should vote for Jared. It said I am also very green but my priority is getting out of Iraq. I think we should've never gone there. Well I had never heard of Mr. Ball before... I'll probably just stick with Dennis Kucinich. You guys should check him out!

Jared and I were on the same gun mount during Desert Storm. I love you buddy, you have done more for me than you'll ever know.

If Jared Bell gets the nomination for president it could be the 1st time I'll be voting for someone younger than me.

Ah well, I'll get over it. ; )

This is a pretty shitty line up of GP candidates, but Jared is awesome.

[IRactus]

yeah Greens!

it's all true, except for the part where you said "2 people still think this is a 2 party system." A lot more than 2 people think that! :)

I've watched and listened to all of the Green Party candidates for President videos, while I agree with their message I am not inspired to vote for any of them. Yes there is little difference between the Dems and Republicans. That is why I hope the Greens are able to come up with a viable candidate. I liked PHubbs statement " then to vote for what you DON'T want and get it"

Jared Ball rocks!

The only difference between the Democrats and Republicans is the Democrats represent a slightly less scary group of special interests (and I emphasize 'slightly').

It's better to vote for what you really want and not get it, then to vote for what you DON'T want and get it.

We shouldn't be limited to just the Dems and Repubs - they both represent the same corporate interests.

Think about it.

The audio leaves much to be desired. I love the Green party and am trying to help in Texas. One of the problems we have is, actually two. Progressives are afraid that if they don't vote Democrat, the Republicans will win. And 2 People still think this is a 2 party system. If only they could see that the 2 partys are just 2 feathers off the same buzzard, just because there from different wings don't make them any different. Wonder why the Demos wont impeach?
