The list's Presidential debate

2000-11-02 Thread List Manager
Since I opened up limited discussion of the Presidential election, several members have posted inappropriately. Is is disheartening, and, frankly, childish. I have issued warnings, and will continue to do so. However, since many members ARE following the rules, I want to reiterate and amplify

I'd like to suggest here, that there is already a group, called Youth Build run from Summit Academy by Louis King in place to do that sort of thing. Americorps is a good suggestion and those youth, combined with Youth Build could do that I would think and have a good time in the bargain

In response to Steve Anderson's post: 3rd parties do not necessarily equal progressive parties, nor are all 3rd party candidates that you mention progressive candidates. A few examples: Pat Buchanan. Enough said. Jesse Ventura, an avowed centrist and Independence Party standard bearer.
