> Election Update: the Green Party Wins in 2005
> Green candidates won 24 races last Tuesday, bringing the total number of Green 
> electoral victories to 37 for 2005. Highlights of Election Day included Cam 
> Gordon’s victory in his bid for Minneapolis City Council, Annie Young’s 
> reelection to Minneapolis Recreation and Parks Board. Susan Hopkins won election 
> to the Portland, Me., school board, where she will serve alongside three other 
> Greens; Greens in Maine also helped defeat a ballot initiative that would have 
> repealed the state’s new law protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender 
> people form discrimination. Four out of five candidates in California won their 
> bids for office. Greens in Takoma Park, Md., helped pass an Instant Runoff 
> Voting initiative, which will ensure that elections won’t be winner-take-all.
> 
> 
> All of these successes would not have been possible without the Coordinated 
> Campaign Committee (CCC), a national committee that provides training and 
> resources to Green campaigns. The CCC consists of Green Party activists who are 
> skilled campaign volunteers from all over the country who help locals and states 
> build strong Green Party campaigns. And they expect to undertake and accomplish 
> more victories in 2006.
> 
> 
> Unlike the two major corporate parties, the Green Party depends entirely on 
> donations from individuals. We do not take money from big business. Green office 
> holders are accountable to their constituents, not corporations. The work of the 
> CCC and other national Green Party projects would not be possible without the 
> financial support of thousands of people across the country.
> 
> 
> The Green Party of the United States plans to run more candidates in 2006 and we 
> anticipate more victories in 2006. The Coordinated Congressional Campaign is 
> creating a unified message to end the war in Iraq and bring the troops now. A 
> gift of $250.00 will allow us to promote the Green Party values of peace, 
> genuine democracy, and sustainability in a national progressive publication like 
> "The Progressive" for one month.
> 
> 
> The CCC plans to hold eight campaign schools in 2006 to train candidates and 
> campaign staff to successfully run for office. Your gift of $100.00 will help 
> pay a quarter of the travel expenses to bring an expert campaign consultant to a 
> campaign school.
> 
> 
> A gift of $50 will allow us to print and send 100 copies of Green Pages to help 
> start a new Campus Greens chapter. And if you haven’t seen Green Pages lately, 
> check out its snazzy new format by placing an order at our online store, 
> https://secure.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizations/Greens/shop/shop.jsp?stor
> efront_KEY=4 Everyone donating $20 or more receives a yearly subscription to 
> Green Pages.

> 
> The Green Party is growing bigger, stronger, and more organized every day 
> because of the support of people like you. Please help us realize our goals for 
> 2006 and donate generously at
