For those of you who don't like Bush or Kerry, keep in mind we d have other choices. Green party (http://www.gp.org/) People will say you're throwing away your vote by voting Green, but if enough people throw away their votes, something will be changed :devil: If you don't like the other 2, then look at Cobb/LaMarche

David Cobb is the Green Party nomination for President in 2004. He served as the General Counsel for the Green Party of the United States (www.gp.org) until declaring his candidacy and was the Green Party of Texas (GPTX) candidate for Attorney General in 2002.
Raised in a small shrimping village in San Leon, Texas, David worked as a construction worker for several years before attending college. He saw up close and personal how the system is designed to prevent working class people from getting ahead; how working hard usually just got you calluses. Waiting tables to put himself through college, he graduated from the University of Houston Law School in 1993. The grandson of a Baptist preacher, David received awards in Moot Court and Mock Trial competitions, served on the Law Review and worked in the Public Interest Law Clinic.
He had a successful law practice until early 2000, when Ralph Nader asked him to manage the Green Party effort in Texas. He coordinated the ballot access drive in Texas that collected over 76,000 signatures in 75 days. When he ran for Attorney General there were 4 local chapters of the GPTX. At the conclusion of his campaign, there were 26 chapters.
David lectures and facilitates "Rethinking Corporations/ Rethinking Democracy" seminars and workshops across the country, which explore the social, legal and historical context of how corporations have become the dominant institution of our times. These seminars focus on how corporations have become unelected governing institutions, and how we can provoke (and win) a nonviolent democratic revolution in response.
He serves on the Steering Committee of Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County (www.duhc.org), and as Campaigns Director for ReclaimDemocracy.org which are both citizen's groups dedicated to contesting and challenging the illegitimate corporate usurpation of our Constitution and our government.

Patricia Helen LaMarche was born on November 26, 1960, in Providence, Rhode Island, the fourth of five children. Her father, Paul LaMarche, was and is a celebrated doctor, and her mother was at that time a housewife but later became an auditor employed by the state. When the family moved to Bangor, Maine, in the 1970s, LaMarche enrolled at John Baptist High School where she graduated near the top of her class. She pursued her education with four years at Boston College.
She then returned to Maine in 1982 and married the following year. After working as a high school math teacher for a few years, she had two children, Rebecca in 1985 and John in 1987. In the late eighties, she moved into the broadcasting field and was variously employed at television and radio stations in the Bangor area. LaMarche has taught Public Relations at Husson College's school of Communications and headed the Bangor chapter of the Children's Miracle Network, which she saw go from one of the worst in the nation to the most successful.
In 1996 LaMarche moved south to Portland, Maine, to take a job as the first and only female host at the venerated heritage talk radio station, WGAN. She soon became known for her liberal views and was approached to run for governor of the state of Maine in 1998 on the Green Independent Party ticket. Despite a grassroots campaign, the death of her mother midway through, and raising her two children as a single mother, LaMarche led a respectable campaign that generated seven percent of the vote from a budget of just $20,000. She became the first woman in the history of the state of Maine to gain ballot access for a political party due to her campaign.
A year after running for governor, LaMarche moved to the Netherlands to pursue a Master's Degree in European History at the University of Amsterdam. While there, she and her two children were fortunate enough to visit some ten other countries, meeting with relatives in Italy and Turkey and spending half a month in Ireland. LaMarche and her children are confident that their time in Europe greatly changed and improved them as citizens of our planet. Additionally, it gave LaMarche a vital taste of life outside the United States and placed her in a position from which she is able to make better informed decisions regarding what course of action is best for America and Americans.
In the years since Holland, LaMarche has been employed at a radio station in Maine's capital under the pseudonym Genny Judge, which she borrowed from her late mother. Genny Judge is known throughout central Maine as an altruist in the truest sense of the term. She has found kidneys for dying children, raised money for poverty-stricken youth, and helped to garner support for the relief crew after September 11, all the while voicing her concerns for and opinions of the state of affairs in the community, state, nation, and world at large.
