Withdraw from Iraq immediately. Eliminate the No Child Left Behind law. Legalize marijuana.
Those were just some of the goals stated by candidates at the Green Party presidential debate Sunday in San Francisco.
Source: John Bazemore / APFormer Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney who converted to the Green Party last year was, at one point during the debate, acknowledged as the front-runner. Ralph Nader, who ran on the Green ticket in 2000, spoke at the event but did not take part in the debate. Nader has not yet announced whether he will run for president again.
Other candidates seeking the Green Party’s nomination include:
Jared Ball of Washington, D.C. – Professor of communications, radio host and journalist
