Title
ISwitched.org - Why We Joined The Green Party/Online Green Party Presidential Primary
Description
The mission of ISwitched.org is to transform the relationship between the Green Party and the rest of the progressive community by sharing our stories, as Green Party activists, of why we switched, what we are doing today in our daily lives as activists, and dispelling myths about who is involved with the Green Party and what the Green Party is about.
About The Founders
Thomas Leavitt (seen at right on his way to a peace protest in San Francisco earlier this year) is a life-long entrepreneur and community activist. In high school, he refurbished and sold used computer equipment he purchased at swapmeets - and served in student government, while also working as an intern for a Santa Monica City Council member. In college, he was an e-commerce pioneer, buying and selling computer equipment over the Internet via Usenet News, long before Mosaic was even a glimmer in Marc Andressen's eye. He also helped organize a three day sit-in/takeover of his college's administration building.
In 1993, he self-published a book based on his experience buying and selling computer equipment, "Thom's Little Guide to Buying a Computer" and sold it over the newly emerged World Wide Web - he also published "The Canter and Siegel Report", a widely read compendium of information about the Internet's first large scale commercial "spammers".
