Connecticut’s Litchfield County Times reports that Fifth District U.S. House candidate Harold Burbank II “is calling on Congress to impeach President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney for waging an illegal war in Iraq.” Burbank said he decided to run as a Green after incumbent Democrat Chris Murphy “told him at a forum in New Britain last year that despite the Bush administration’s being the most impeachable regime in U.S. history, he would not support impeachment.'” Burbank says he has the support of Ralph Nader and Daniel Ellsberg, among others.

I have heard it said that one of the failings of third party candidates is that we don’t say clearly why they are running, and why the other guy isn’t doing the job.
If you ask a representative to do something and they don’t do it, that is a reason to run.
