DAVID COBB GETS
OREGON GREEN NOD
Green Party presidential candidate David
Cobb easily won the Pacific Green Party’s
presidential primary held June 5 at Portland
State University. Cobb won 14 of the 19 dele-
gates allocated to the Pacific Green Party.
Two delegates will be assigned for “None of
the Above” and one delegate will be pledged
to each of the following candidates: Peter
Camejo, Lorna Salzman and Ralph Nader.
Nader is running as an independent in
November.
Cobb, a Texan now living in California, is
leading in the delegate count heading up to
the national Green Party convention to be
held June 25-27 in Milwaukee, Wisc.
“This campaign is all about growing the
Green Party and providing an alternative to
the bankrupt policies of the two major, corpo-
rately funded political parties,” said Cobb in
a prepared statement.

• A “No on 36” campaign briefing for

strategy
elements.

number of Iraqis and American soldiers in-

statement from Progressive Responses, a

policies in Iraq. Come, get informed and be
prepared to take action.” For more informa-
