Hi John,

I appreciate your feedback. Please send other information which will 
assist me in having a more balanced view.

At this point in time, I have a much better understanding of who Nader 
"likes" in the Democratic Primary than what he plans to do in the Green 
Party.

I am upset because while I don't believe it was intentional, I believe 
that we have violated the decision of the GRP's annual convention. All 
candidaes were supposed to inform us that they were pursuing the Green 
Party's nomination for President and supported the 10 key values BEFORE  
we would place them on our February 5 ballot. It is now January 2, Nader 
is on our ballot, and we still do not know if he is pursuing the Green 
Party's nomination.

This is not right.

Mike Heichman
