  1. I purged myself from the Democrats here in NY and became a Green. Given the fact that our candidate for Governor, Howie Hawkins was a supporter of Bernie when he first ran for US Senate in Vermont with the Liberty Union Party in the 1970s and that Howie is in fact a co-founder of Green Party USA and one of the smartest political minds I have ever seen speak, and a retired Teamster who loaded trucks at UPS in Syracuse, and a former member of a worker-owned cooperative construction company, and that he has been arrested for protesting environmental and human rights issues numerous times, and of course for demonstrating in support of peace, it is easy to believe Howie means what he says and says what he means. Last election I am proud to say I'm one of almost 200,000 New Yorkers who voted for Howie. This time, I hope we draw 500,000 voters and think we have a shot as Howie's numbers in 2014 nearly mirrored Teachouts with very little drop off. There are two kinds of people in New York, those who are done with Cuomo and the corruption and those who are brainwashed. The number who are done with Cuomo and the corruption grows daily.
