Bill Scheurer, 2006 candidate for Congress in Illinois’ 8th District and Chair of the now legally established Moderate Party, has announced thathe plans to join the Illinois Green Party. Scheurer has also asked all Moderate Party members to join the Illinois Green Party.”Because of the enormous obstacles the two incumbent parties always put in the way of independent third parties, it only makes sense for us to combine our efforts to support peace candidates with those of the Green Party, the Party of Peace,” said Scheurer.
Scheurer explained that joining the Illinois Green Party will allow members to be appointed as candidates and precinct committeemen, helping to build support and visibility for peace candidates such as David Kalbfleisch in the 10th Congressional District. http://www.electdave.org/
Also announced was the Green Party candidacy of Iain Abernathy in the 8th Congressional District, who comes with a strong preexisting Moderate
Party caucus supporting his peace-centered campaign. http://iainforcongress.blogspot.com/
“Our driving purpose remains – to support peace candidates for federal office, and to raise the issue of peaceful security in federal campaigns,” concluded Scheurer.
