 Greens
Have Real Solutions to the Sorry State of the Union
If you’re anything like us, you’re probably going to
watch George Bush’s “State of the Union” speech
and get angry about the sorry state he’s made of our
country. Instead of yelling at the TV or crying into
your beverage of choice, why don’t you tune into the
REAL rebuttal? A Video News Release (VNR) of the Green
rebuttal will be available at www.gp.org.
Watch elected Greens and candidates from across the
country talk about real solutions like Universal Health
care, Energy Independence, Genuine Democracy, Ending the
war in Iraq, and Impeaching Bush and Cheney.
You won’t hear any of this from Tim Kaine.

Congratulations Renee!
We’d like to congratulate ANC Commissioner Renee
Bowser on her election as Chair of Advisory Neighborhood
Council 4D02 in Washington, DC. Renee is a member of the
DC Statehood Green Party and a two-term neighborhood
commissioner for 4D. Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners
are elected to two year terms to advise the mayor and
city council on issues like education, zoning, small
business development, public safety and public
transportation. Renee was elected by her fellow ANC
commissioners to serve as the Chair. |

Renee, an attorney for an international labor union, is
considering a run for a possible City Council race in 2007 and
has organized an exploratory committee. Renee ran for City
Council in 2000, receiving a number of high-profile
endorsements, including the Metropolitan Washington Council of
the AFL-CIO. Renee will participate in the Green Party
rebuttal to the State of the Union address on Tuesday.
Impeach
Bush and Cheney!
The Green Party of the United States has launched a
letter-writing campaign calling for the Impeachment of
Bush and Cheney. A recent Zogby poll finds that 52% of
Americans believe that the recent disclosure of
domestic spying is an impeachable offense. Make your
voice heard; write a letter to your local newspaper.
We make it easy for you by providing sample letters
and a way to automatically send to the newspaper of
your choice. Don’t delay, write your letter today
and please tell friends and family to do the same.

Greens Win Over One out of Four Races in
2005
Green Party candidates won a quarter of all the races in
which they competed in 2005. Out of 177 Green candidates, 46
were were elected to public office in 2005 -- a 25.99% victory
rate. A summary of Green wins in 2005 can be read at
http://www.gp.org/elections.shtml.
"The 2005 off-year elections showed steady growth for
the Green Party," said Jody Grage Haug, co-chair of the
Green Party of the United States.
The only Green incumbent candidates who lost in 2005 were
two Minneapolis City Council members, Natalie Johnson Lee and
Dean Zimmerman, who were defeated after Democrats deliberately
redistricted the city in order to weaken Green support.
But these defeats were offset by the
election of nonincumbent Green candidate Cam Gordon to
the Minneapolis City Council.
"We expect some dramatic Green victories in
2006," said Jennifer Walling, co-chair of the
Green Party's Coordinated Campaign Committee. The
public has grown disgusted with the nightly news about
Republican abuses of power, deceptions behind the Iraq
war, Katrina incompetence, election irregularities in
2000 and 2004, and corruption, including the Abramoff
charges and DeLay allegations." |

progressive reforms. The Green Party of the 21st
