LETTER to the Editor- Kinsley

December 3, 2004

This is a season of Thanksgiving. I would like to thank all those citizens of the 4th Congressional District who expressed approval of the issues my campaign addressed this past election by voting for me. I hope they will give thanks for the Green Party that stands over the long term for the values which will make our planet a safe, sustainable and positive place for all life. I believe everyone really holds this to be the chief goal for which we all need to strive. To that end I urge everyone to give thanks by making a commitment to work actively within the party of your choice for positive change. I hope all 12,450 of you who voted for me get registered Green so we can move the Green vision forward. And I hope you all support the idea of Instant Runoff Voting to make our election system more about issues and solutions than image bought with big campaign dollars.

I myself give thanks that Congress voted last week to eliminate all appropriations for new nuclear weapons within next year's budget. This is about fiscal responsibility and military sanity. No just war can be fought with such indiscriminate weapons. To talk about useable weapons defies reason as well as ethics. And I acknowledge with respect the work of Representative David Hobson R-OH for his work on the Appropriations committee which was instrumental in this action.

Happy thanksgiving

Bob Kinsey

Green Party Candidate,

4th District, Colorado
