| The only way that the Green Party can regain ballot status in NY is to get 50,000 votes for their Governor candidate in 2010. This opportunity comes only once every four years, and it only applies to the Governor’s race. Gaining ballot status will enable the Green Party to run more peace candidates, more single-payer candidates, more anti-fracking candidates, and more sustainable energy candidates. The last time that the Green Party of New York State had ballot status it set the record for running the most Green candidates of any state. |
Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate for New York Governor, will be speaking Wednesday night, Sept. 15th in Albany at the Jobs Emergency Rally at Townsend Park (Clinton & H Johnson Blvd) at 4:30 PM.

“There’s something else to consider. Other states have embraced total outsiders and lived to tell the tale. Think California with “Ah-nold” and Minnesota with Jesse Ventura. There was no disaster in those states. Novice pols didn’t do any worse than experienced pols. In fact, some people think they did better.”
Um, hate to mention this fellas, but Jesse was a (be careful I’m gonna say a dirty word”) third party candidate. that’s something that the corporate media , and ahem pundits, tend to ignore. Just like they ignore the ability of IRV to solve they negative campaigning that said media/pundits tend to lament about every election season. Well, one of the reasons that Ventura took off in the election was that the voters were allowed to decide instead of the media. All the candidates were invited debate, and Ventura shown as the best qualified. His polls numbers jumped. Toke note that poll numbers are an effect of a debate, not the cause for excluding debaters. So, yeah, third party candidates make good governors when they don’t have to spend all their time defending democracy.

Media consortium invites Stein to participate in debate.
“Given that the debate falls before that date, we will allow Jill Stein to participate in the Sept. 21 debate,” the consortium said in a statement. “We will reassess after Oct. 1 to determine whether Stein qualifies for the second consortium debate, on Oct. 26.”
It’s bad enough that the Media thinks they can circumvent democracy by making up phony deadlines and numerical goals to keep ballot-qualified candidates out of debates. Now they finally realize that candidates cannot bend time and space to meet an October 1, 2010 deadline for a September 21, 2010 debate. I guess someone bought them a calendar.
But this whole thing is just a distraction from corporation theft of our democracy. MA Guv cand Stein (G) said it best:
“Media that take advantage of the public airwaves should not be in the business of censoring the public debate, period,” she said. “And attaching a price tag to the admission to a public debate is exactly what’s wrong with politics as we know it.”

John Anthony La Pietra
Voter Information Center Not Ready to Show Sample Ballots or Campaign Links; Candidates Given Wrong Deadline Date to Verify Invisible Information
For the second time in a week, John Anthony La Pietra — the Green Party of Michigan’s (GPMI)candidate for Secretary of State — is trying to get that office and its Bureau of Elections to do their jobs and give voters fair and accurate information about candidates.
Last Friday, exactly a month after the August 3 primary, the Bureau finally posted on line a list of candidates who will be on the November 2 general-election ballot. But John noticed that the list, while it included links to some candidate Websites, did not offer a link to his campaign homepage — which he’d reported to the Bureau August 2 on his Statement of Organization form — or those of four of his fellow GPMI candidates.
