Rob: I
don't know. How many?
Jill: Not
many. Not many. What I've heard is that you can count them on one hand and to
my mind that gets down to the issue here and I've been inviting Rocky to
participate within the Green Party because it is a party. You cannot, there's
no way on God's earth you can both run a presidential campaign and create a
political Party. You have no idea what it means to create a political party. It
takes many years of building confidence, establishing the culture, learning how
to do the things you have to do to be a political party. It is not easy to be a
political party.
Rocky has just emerged from the democratic machine. That is very
different from what it means to be an independent political party. It takes
years worth of work to build it and to have the infrastructure to be able to
run a campaign; to even be able to get on the ballot, to be able to raise the
funds that you need. You just don't do it while you're also running for
election. It doesn't happen that way and that's why I think you need to vote
for a real party, not for one person who is fighting a valiant but ill-informed
fight here and who's not going to be on the ballot in many places; not many.
Rob: /
Okay so, next question.
Jill: /
So, he doesn't have a national campaign.
Rob: /
Next question.
Jill: /
He needs to join the Green Party and enlarge it and improve it. He didn't want
to join the Green saying, "We didn't have our act together," but what he's
saying is that we really do have our act together.
Rob: Okay,
next question. Why are you running, given that there is no chance that you can
win?

Rob Kall has spent his adult life as an awakener and empowerer-- first in the field of biofeedback, inventing products, developing software and a music recording label, MuPsych, within the company he founded in 1978-- Futurehealth, and founding, organizing and running 3 conferences: Winter Brain, on Neurofeedback and consciousness, Optimal Functioning and Positive Psychology (a pioneer in the field of Positive Psychology, first presenting workshops on it in 1985) and Storycon Summit Meeting on the Art Science and Application of Story-- each the first of their kind.
