Pinal County Greens Endorse Barack Obama for President, Call on Green Party of the U.S. to Back President Obama for Re-election

 
APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz., Apr. 23 - 

The Pinal County Greens met today and voted to endorse Barack Obama for President. 

"This decision wasn't that easy, because we have some effective Green candidates running," said Pinal County Greens co-chair Richard Grayson. "Also, the Obama administration has been less progressive than we would have liked. However, only one of two men will be elected President in November, and we greatly prefer President Obama to Governor Romney."  

The Pinal County Greens passed a resolution calling on the Green Party of the U.S. to bypass candidates Jill Stein and Roseanne Barr and instead cross-nominate President Obama for President, giving him the Green Party ballot line in states where cross-endorsements are allowed. 

"The Pinal County Greens will be doing all we can the rest of this election year to support President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden," Grayson said.
