It seems that Left Wing druggies and Right Wing constructionists are opposed to it. Go figure. If you have a few moments to spare, check out the article at the link above. jim

The Republican and Democrat parties have become the unofficial "government parties." Republican and Democrat legislators have worked together to erect legal barriers between third parties and the American electorate, notwithstanding the U.S. Supreme Court’s acknowledgment of the constitutional right "to create and develop new political parties." Norman v. Reed, 502 U.S. 279, 288 (1992)...." Regards, Don
