Opponents in 2004 Presidential Campaign Unite Behind Zeese

Montgomery County, MD: Today, Kevin Zeese for U.S. Senate announced that two former rivals in the 2004 presidential race have endorsed Zeese's campaign in Maryland. In their joint statement they said:

“Kevin Zeese's run for the U.S. Senate will build the Green Party in Maryland and nationally, and provide the Greens with a strong candidate who is an effective advocate for Green values. Kevin Zeese has shown himself to be persistent in his quest for peace, justice, democracy and prosperity. He has 30 years of credible leadership experience in advocating for social, racial and economic justice with national credentials and name recognition in a number of movements including the anti-war, democracy and drug policy and criminal justice reform movements. Therefore, we endorse Kevin Zeese for the U.S. Senate.”

David Cobb was the Green Party's presidential candidate in 2004. Peter Miguel Camejo was the vice presidential candidate in Ralph Nader's presidential campaign.

“I greatly appreciate the support of these two Green Party leaders – both of whom are seeking to grow the Green Party and encourage independent politics in the United States. David Cobb and Peter Camejo's endorsement demonstrates that all Greens can unite behind my campaign for 'peace, justice, democracy and prosperity,'” said Zeese. “The 2004 election was a very challenging one for the Green Party creating bitter divides but the need for candidates who advocate an end to the Iraq War and a government that puts the peoples priorities first will bring Greens and voters across the political spectrum together.”

Zeese is seeking the nomination of the Maryland Green Party as well as the Populist Party of Maryland and the Libertarian Party of Maryland in his “Unity Campaign.” His Campaign Committee includes independents, Democrats and Republicans as well as members of the three independent political parties.
