Bronx: The Daily News
is
doing an
enormous disservice to the citizens of this city by continuing
to ignore the Green Party. The Green Party has been growing. We're
not
going away. Ignoring us and our efforts to strengthen democracy,
fight
for a healthy environment, seek justice for all and promote
non-violence will not lessen our resolve.

Dear Editor,
The Daily News is doing a huge disservice to itself and an enormous
disservice to the citizens of this city by continuing to ignore
the Green Party. You are not portraying the news accurately when you
fail to report the role of the Green Party in certain stories. This is
particularly annoying in your modest coverage of the Ohio recount. I
have not read an article in your paper yet that credits Green
Party Presidential candidate David Cobb (in conjunction with
Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarik) for inititating this
effort. If it wasn't for Juan Gonzalez reporting it in his column,
there would be no mention of it at all. And, I have seen nothing
written about the Board of Elections failure to count write in votes
for Cobb in this past election. The BOE says that no one voted for Cobb
in New York City. Well, they're wrong. I did, as well as many other
Greens in New York. Aren't you the least bit curious as to
what's going on here?
There are a number of extremely
important issues at stake, the least of which is the integrity of our
voting system. The failure on the part of your paper to give
credit where it is due - to those seeking to uphold basic, cherished
American principles - just serves to reinforce the growing notion
that an independent press no longer exists and that truth is best kept
under wraps.
The Green Party is growing; has been growing.
We're
not going
away. Ignoring us and our efforts to strengthen democracy, fight
for a healthy environment, seek justice for all and promote
non-violence will not lessen our resolve. You may not agree with us.
That's your right. Giving readers the opportunity to agree or disagree
with us is your responsibility.
Sincerely,
Carl Lundgren
