She makes some excellent points. I hope to help her spread it around. Peggy Bonnington ----- Original Message ----- From: Rosemary Zibart To: Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2000 3:19 PM Subject: Nader vs Gore > Dear Peggy: Here's a letter to editor I sent to SF New Mex and several > people called to say it was very effective. Do you have any friends via > Quaker network who might send the letter in under their names in Michigan > or Wisconsin. Those are the states that are threatened by Green vote. You > can vote Green and it won't matter but I would hate to have to look and > hear Bush for the next 4 years because of the Green vote. It's happened > here in New Mex before where Republicans got elected because Greens split > vote. Please do what you can and let me know. rz > > Dear Editor: > > Many supporters of Ralph Nader are so ideologically fervent, they > won't budge even though their votes may push the election on the side of > conservatives who could damage public schools, health care reform, > environmental protection, and a woman's right to choose. > All his life, Nader has pursued a narrow path. He hasn't gotten > married, thus avoiding the extremes of human nature. He hasn't represented > a large constituency of people with different points of view so he hasn't > had to seek middle ground. And Nader hasn't had to contend with foreign > powers who often don't play on a level playing field. In my opinion, if > Nader were elected his fans would soon feel 'sold out' because governing is > so much more complicated than championing a cause. > Yet Naderites won't vote for Al Gore (who's done all of the above) > because he's seems compromised. Aren't they looking at the cup 1/2 empty > rather than 1/2 full? Gore's pioneering efforts to combat global warming > have led the way for scientests world-wide to focus on this critical > issue. > No doubt, as Gore mentioned at the end of the 3rd debate, most of > us (over age 30) have had our hearts broken. What matters, Gore asserts, is > the ability to continue fighting past the heartbreak; to embrace a > fractious system and see beyond its defects to the larger good. > In every state where every vote matters, I urge Greens to see the > green in Al Gore.
