From the Ohio Green Party website:
The Ohio Green Party is announcing a fundraising effort to raise monies for a legal defense fund. As many of you have already heard, the recent court case involving a challenge to Ohio’s law regarding minor party ballot access resulted in the judge ruling for the State.
Although the Ohio Green Party emerged as the only ballot-qualified minor party in Ohio, due to our showing in the Gubernatorial race in Nov. of last year, we feel that the judges interpretation in this matter was in error.
Regardless of the outcome of November’s elections, the Ohio Green Party still faces what we consider to be unconstitutional and heavy-handed impediments to our future viability.
As such, we are asking for contributions now, in preparation for an uphill battle to maintain your choice at the ballot box.
You can contribute here to help.
The original national LP announcement also made it sound like it was over, but then the state LP corrected that.
The Ohio Green PArty press release is misleading. The case is still in the US District Court. The judge ruled against the points raised by the Green Party, but he still hasn’t ruled on the Libertarian Party’s points. If he were finished with the case, the case would be “closed”, but it is not “closed.” No appeal to the 6th circuit can be taken until the case is “closed.”
I’m pretty sure if he had made an announcement we would have heard it by now.
I’ve been looking for video of Bernie Sanders talk from last week to post, since I wasn’t able to stay to hear what he had to say. As of Friday, I still coouldn’t find any. I do have a video of Marianne from that same day discussing that if he ran, it would most likely be as a Democrat. I’ll try to finish that article tonight.
Bernie Sanders said that if he was going to run, he would announce by March, and it’s now April, so I guess that makes it official now that he is not going to run next year.
Also, if he had run, it would have been as a Democrat. I guess we won’t know for sure though, since he won’t be running at all.
How about some comments more directly on topic?
And why isn’t our out-to-lunch and corrupted Congress working to allow the top Third Parties to flourish in this country? Well, instead of being for true Democracy, they are out for Themselves… their “power” is more important than Democracy, and these two Culprits, the Dems / Repugs , both, love their wars and their corporatists. And the mainstream media corporatists who support them. And the downtrodden Education system that keeps the “public” right there – instead of thinking outside the box.
And even the complainers and ones aware – tend to vote for the “least of two evils” out of fear the “most evil of the two” will win.
It’s more of a Dictatorship in this country, rather than true Democracy. 🙁
