On October 25, Ralph Nader released this statement: “Christina Tobin as Secretary of State of California will give more voices and choices to millions of California voters who think the ‘two-party dictatorship’ is monopolizing the ballot line against third party and independent candidates.” Tobin is on the California ballot as the Libertarian nominee for Secretary of State. During the first half of 2010 she was instrumental in putting up the leading web page in opposition to Proposition 14. She also organized press conferences and protests against Proposition 14. That measure, the “top-two” idea, in practice, leaves general election ballots with virtually no one on the ballot except Democratic and Republican candidates.
Tobin also is active organizing inclusive debates, and has organized six such debates this year. She also organized the only general election presidential debate of 2008 that included any of the non-Democratic, non-Republican presidential candidates who were on the ballot in enough states to be elected. That debate was between Ralph Nader and Chuck Baldwin. She organized a similar vice-presidential debate, between Matt Gonzalez, Wayne Allyn Root, and Darrell Castle.
Good News indeed.
Ms Tobin has done impressive work for and with Independents, Green Party, and Libertarians.
