There is one block of as yet undecided swing voters at this late date. For those of us on the left, both independent and affiliated Greens who are still thinking hard about our vote, consider these themes on why greens should support Kerry, followed by the nature of their benefit to greens:

Columbus, Ohio- Moveonpac.org was responsible for bringing Michael Moore to the Palace Theatre this past Saturday night. When I arrived to cover the event I was unexpectedly ushered to the basement for an impromptu press conference. When I entered the press room I was shocked to find that only one of the major media outlets in the biggest city in Ohio felt the need to send anyone to cover the event. With Cleveland polling very much toward Senator John Kerry and Cincinnati going for President George W. Bush, Columbus, is believed by many to be the prize of the state. The city of Columbus may not only be the difference in the state of Ohio but also in the whole election. Certainly the current thinking is that Kerry has no shot at winning the election without winning the buckeye state and Bush has a very slight chance to win the race without tallying Ohio in his wins column. You would think these facts would lead to a mad rush of media to cover a Michael Moore speech. However, the lone major television reporter at the press conference was Carol Luper. She works as a reporter for both ABC and Fox stations which share one news team.

The 2004 Presidential election is perhaps the most crucial national political contest in a generation. The stakes have never been higher for the welfare and future of the American people – and more specifically, for African Americans, Latinos, immigrants and others who remain marginalized by structural racism and economic inequality. The terrible tragedy for them is that their issues and interests are for the most part completely relegated to obscurity by both major parties and their candidates, incumbent George W. Bush and challenger John Kerry.

By any objective criteria, Bush’s economic record alone should have made it extremely difficult for him to run for reelection. He was the first president since the Great Depression of the 1930s to witness a net loss of jobs – about 1.8 million – during his administration. Bush’s massive tax cut scheme did almost nothing to create meaningful employment, and transferred hundreds of billions of dollars to the wealthy and large corporations.

Wake up America! If you want four more years of George W. Bush (based on his previous four years), here's what you can expect:

Four more years of uncontrolled spending and trillion-dollar-plus deficits.
Four more years of shifting the burden of taxation from multi-millionaires to lower income earners.
Four more years of skyrocketing college tuition.
Four more years of price-gouging by the pharmaceutical and health care industries.
Four more years of raids on the treasury by Halliburton.
Four more years of unprecedented tax cuts for multi-millionaires during time of war.
Four more years of corporate tax loopholes, fraud and unbridled tax evasion.
Four more years of increases in local taxes to make up for federal tax cuts and loss of federal services.
Four more years of ignoring alternative sources of energy that would mitigate our dependence on oil.
