It's
like as a medical doctor, I'm an internist and nobody comes in and says, "Hey
doc, would you please save my heart? You know, I really care about my heart.
Forget the kidneys and the lungs, just take care of my heart." It's the whole
thing and Green's fundamentally have that perspective. So, we are working on a
broad agenda. We are very much locally defined so that the locals of the Green
Party decide what areas they are working on and they tend to reflect the
strength of the local progressive movement. So, I just came up from Georgia
where there's a very strong African American leadership in the Green Party and
the Green Party is very focused on prison justice and fighting nuclear power
plants because they are all coming to the communities of color, starting to
Georgia. So, that's sort of where they are focused. And the different parties
around the country have various causes. I'm sorry, go ahead.

a different perspective. They've actually succeeded in electing candidates.
Jill: We
are in local office all over the country.
Rob: Okay.
Jill: Yes,
from--
Rob: I
hate to interrupt you, but I want to kind of ask you a really crucial question.
