CA Green Party Supports Proposition 19

Earlier this week we told you about the CA Democratic Party’s cop-out on an endorsement of Prop 19; they decided to stay neutral on the issue. But it’s refreshing to know that some political parties will take a stand, even if the party is relatively small.
The Green Party of California, along with the Peace and Freedom Party, have come out in favor of Proposition 19. And while it’s true these parties don’t amount to much – even in CA – it’s also true that the vote on Prop 19 is going to be close, so every endorsement and every vote it brings are important.
Leading Democrats like US Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein and gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown publicly oppose Proposition 19, as does Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman.
It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that our side doesn’t have any of the “big guns.” Politicians at the top aren’t interested in helping those they supposedly “serve,” and they haven’t been for many years. As I’ve said before, it’s going to be up to us to get the word out, and get the vote out in November.
At least we have some of the smaller political parties on our side.
