As many of you may know, I'm a big proponent of breaking the
polarization of our two-party system. Here is Democracy Now's attempt
to subvert the lock-out created by the two major parties and maintained
by myriad interests:

How many of us even knew there WAS a Green and a Justice Party
candidate? I assume some have not even heard of Libertarian candidate
Gary Johnson... if he wasn't an NM homeboy, *I* might not have known
about him.

I tend to trust DN's accuracy in reporting, despite their clear bias.
The facts laid out here are pretty damning.
I'm personally sorry that Gary Johnson wasn't available for this, I
would like to believe it is truly logistics, not lack of interest on his
part for not being there for this.
