Pinal County Greens Endorse Rodney Glassman for U.S. Senate, Oppose the "Siphongate" Green Party Candidate Jerry Joslyn


On their website, the Pinal County Greens, who previously endorsed our campaign for the House, made this announcement:
Apache Junction, Ariz., September 13, 2010 - The Pinal County Greens, a political organization made up of members of the Arizona Green Party in Pinal County, today announced its endorsement of Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Rodney Glassman, whom it called "a good man, excellent on Green Party issues, and someone who actually has a chance to unseat John McCain."

At the same time, the Pinal Greens announced that they were opposing the candidacy of Jerry Joslyn, the phony Green Party candidate who was put on the ballot as part of a scheme to siphon liberal votes from the Democrats and re-elect Republican John McCain.

"Jerry Joslyn pretty much announced that he's part of the vote-siphoning scheme," the Pinal Greens said. "At his campaign website he said he wanted to beat Rodney Glassman, not beat John McCain."

"We urge all progressive voters to shun Jerry Joslyn, who advocates the same kind of flat tax put forth by right-wingers like Steve Forbes," the Pinal Greens said. "For progressive unity, we want Rodney Glassman in the U.S. Senate."
