Supporters of Donna Warren and John Wenger for KPFK Board Reply to
Swiftboating Attack on their Candidacies

Dear KPFK members,

It is regretable that some Greens have attempted to bring internal Green
Party conflicts into the KPFK election. It is unfortunate enough that
our party has such problems, without having Green Party members
bringing our internal disputes into an election as important as that to
the KPFK board.

The charges made in their letter are, of course, completely without
foundation.

You may be unaware, but the Green Party of Los Angeles County has been
involved in a years-long struggle over internal democracy, democratic
accountability, political and financial ethics, and the future of Green
Politics.

Donna Warren and John Wenger have been in the forefront of the struggle
by the majority of Los Angeles County Greens to preserve and protect
grassroots democracy, and high standards of ethical behavior and
democratic process in the Green Party both locally and statewide.

Because of the stands they have taken to protect, preserve and promote
all that is decent and honorable in the Green Party today, they have
angered those Green Party members who feel threatened by any semblance
of rank and file democracy or political morality in our party.

The struggle Donna Warren and John Wenger and others have waged in our
party to preserve, enhance and protect the values of our party has been
nothing short of heroic, and demonstrates precisely the strength of
character KPFK needs on its board.

Please vote for Donna and John with an open heart and a clear
conscience. You will be voting for the best the Green Party has, and
you will never regret it.
