Jenny- I think this is awesome. This is a totally different idea than, say, the green party. Candidates who are actually backed by actual workers, not just candidates who put "pro-labor" on their platform.
Were you at the recent LP convention? Some people on another board reported on their attendance.... sounded interesting.... what did you think?
