[SfN] Illinois 'safe' for Gore; urge all to vote conscience!

[Jim Buell]

Zogby, MSNBC and all other latest polls I'm seeing this morning concur: 
Illinois is firmly in Gore's column. So if you or anyone you know has been 
on the fence about Nader/LaDuke for this reason, be assured - choosing Gore 
(or Bush for that matter) over Nader at this point for strategic reasons is 
a wasted vote, period.

No matter who wins nationally today, let's do all we can to be sure the 
Greens win established-party status today in Illinois by reaching 5 percent 
statewide. Tell all to vote their hopes. Nader is polling anywhere between 
4 and 8 percent here, by the way, so ours is truly the Illinois result 
that's too close to call.

Call in sick to work, skip class (or go and politicize your co-workers, 
classmates, & teachers), grab armfuls of campaign materials and hit the 
streets, els, campuses, address books, etc. to grow the Greens today. There 
may never be a better day in our lives to promote justice in politics.

Awe-filled thanks to everyone on these lists for our work in getting to 
this point. Truly, who woulda believed it on June 26?
