[NV Greens] Fwd: [usgp-dx] A Green reply to 'Misdirecting the Anti-War Movement' in CounterPunch

[Paul Etxeberri]

>Dear Mr. Walsh
>
>Your claim ("Misdirecting the Anti-War Movement"
><http://www.counterpunch.org/walsh03182005.html>)
>that the Green Party, in pursuing the vote
>recounts, reduced the volume of its criticism of
>the Iraq invasion & occupation and Democrats'
>support for Bush policies is unfounded.  It is
>absolutely incorrect to say that "the Greens seem
>to be stalled in some kind of time warp where all
>that matters is the vote count in Ohio."
>
>Below are links to national Green Party press
>releases issued at the end of the election season
>and at the time the recount was at its height.
>If we had issued more press releases on these
>same topics, the effect would have been
>redundancy, which wouldn't have won us more
>attention from the editors & reporters to whom we
>send releases.
>
>You can read more Green releases at
><http://www.gp.org/press.html>.  The volume of
>Cobb/LaMarche 2004 releases on the recount
>reflects the fact that after the recount campaign
>was launched, the enormous legal & fundraising
>requirements for the recounts took up all of
>David Cobb's and his campaign staff's time.  It
>was impossible for Dave himself to focus on the
>Iraq war or any other important issue during this
>period, but the releases below prove that the
>Green Party itself covered them.
>
>I hope you will consider a correction of the
>misinformation in your article.
