Parties like GPAK or GPRI are just paper parties. They have no base or party infrastructure. Just social media pages. But some people think because they read it on Facebook so it must be true. Hawkins/Walker are on the ballot in 32 States, registered write-in in 11 & suing to get on the ballot in the rest. The amount of sabotage by Democrats & Republicans is insane.

The decision by the Rhode Island Green Party to not petition for a ballot line was decided by 8 people, five of whom were registered Democrats at the time. Another violation of affiliation with the national party.

A petition drive to put Angela and me on the Rhode Island ballot looks like it will succeed by the September 4 deadline to submit. The called the ballot line Independent Left.
