[GPCA-SGA-Votes] Green Party Sex Tape video

[Angelica Duenas]

If I cannot support an unprofessional video ad, then I don't have a place
in the Green Party? Wow.
That is a shame that I have been dedicating my time at the local, county,
State, National and International level.

So running a serious campaign is being a Corporate Shill?
I don't know what to say to this.

If I did not want to see the video I should donated? ....  To be honest If
I would have known ahead of time I would have figured out my budget and
would have sacrificed some fun time funds that we put aside for our 5
children and would have donated to their campaigns.

I understand the video is satire, however, I don't think that this ad this
much to help our Party, their campaign or their fundraising.
