From Allentown Morning Call
Independents represent, among other things, the grassroots distrust of the two-party system in U.S. electoral politics. As discontent with both Republicans and Democrats sweeps through the country, some suggest that we need a third political party, but the truth is that we need two or even more third parties to adequately represent the spectrum of American opinion.

ERIE COKE CORPORATION’S “FLAGRANT DISREGARD” OF ENVIRONMENT SPURS GREEN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA TO CALL FOR TEMPORARY INJUNCTION TO CLOSE PLANT

If this situation were not bad enough, Erie Coke’s revelation in the past month that it has spewed toxic pollutants not previously measured by either the EPA or DEP was described by Freda Tarbell, the DEP’s spokesperson, as “documentation that DEP and EPA didn’t have earlier.”
