Thanks for posting this question Jordan. You've hit on the most
important question by far. Who or what do you CAMPAIGN for? 

This is way more critical than who you cast an individual ballot for.

I think a lot of us on this list would agree that CAMPAIGNING and
ADVOCATING  a vote for Nader is a start towards the critical step of the
working class ending it's support for the corporate Democratic Party and
establishing it's own party to represent the class interest of the
workers.
