PROMINENT PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT GOES GREEN

By Marcy Winograd

(Insert photo)

I joined the Green Party because I embrace its platform and core values of peace and social justice and sustainable communities. We live during urgent times, under the threat of global warming and perpetual war, and we must meet that challenge with a new life-affirming vision that transcends the corporate-driven two party system. As power shifts from the federal to the local level, as the US empire crashes on the shores of rapacious greed, the Greens can play a crucial role in promoting local economies, worker-owned cooperatives, and participatory democracy. It's good to be home; it's great to be Green!

Before becoming a Green Party activist, Marcy Winograd, a resident of Santa Monica, mobilized 41% of the vote in her Democratic Party primary challenge to war-profiteer Congresswoman Jane Harman.

YES, YOU CAN BE A GREEN AND VOTE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY?

There are no more partisan primaries for Congress, state or local elections any more in CA. You will see all of the candidates running from all parties on you June primary ballot. You can vote for the candidate you like best regardless of their party or your party. The top two candidates from the June 2012 primary will be on the ballot in November 2012.
