		Given the unexpected, spontaneous, grass-roots nature of Matt Gonzalez¹s campaign for Mayor of San Francisco in 2003, we felt it important to focus on the campaign and the potential birth of a ³new politics² in the U. that it may signify.
		To me, what's significant about Matt's campaign is that it brought to light the alienation people feel toward politics, period.
		Even though we know that Matt won that election in terms of all that came forth that was "supra" party.

	Matt Gonzalez for Congress : Indybay
		Gonzalez would have to run as an independent or write-in at this point as the deadline for getting qualified to run in the Green Party primary passed a month or so ago.
		The deadline for Matt to have left the Green Party, to be an "Independent" candidate, was October 7 of last year (See: http://www.ss.ca.gov/elections/elections_candqual06.htm).
		The reason why Matt needs to have Green Party absentee voters write his name in, in addition to day-of-the-election Green Party voters, is because he needs almost 2,000 Green Party write-in votes, which is a substantial number when your name isn't on the ballot, and when only about 5,000 Greens will probably be voting anyway.
