Hi Greens,

In response to President Bush's State of the Union speech the Vermont
Green Party yesterday sent out a press release to most of the papers in
the state.  Many thanks to Bob Williams of the media committee who
worked on this.  The release is too large to send out on this list serve
but we would encourage you to read it on our web site at
www.vermontgreens.org <http://www.vermontgreens.org>     It is under the
news and events section. If it does not appear in your local paper we
suggest that you use it as the basis of a letter-to-the-editor or an
op-ed and send it under your name.  If it does get published either from
us or modified from you I would appreciate receiving a copy of it for
our records and to know that the results of our efforts are being seen.

Also, below my signature line is an announcement of the first Green
Party presidential debate to be held at Harvard on Thursday, January
29.  Some of you might be in the area or even make the trip.

Now that we are into the election year I hope that you are talking to
your friends who might be green oriented and encouraging them to sign up
for this list serve.  It is a good way to educate people what the green
Party is all about and person to person is the best way to spread the
word.  When I tell folks I am a Green they are often very interested to
know more.

GREEN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

On Thursday, January 29th, three of the four candidates (David Cobb,
Kent Mesplay, and Lorna Salzman) participating in the Massachusetts
Green-Rainbow party primary for president will debate at the Kennedy
Forum at Harvard's Kennedy School of government.  This should be an
exciting event with many chances for audience members to ask the
candidates questions.  This the first Green Party Presidential Debate
ever to take place, and there is an excellent chance that it will be
covered and by C-SPAN, and we already have commitments from local cable
stations to cover.

The forum room, where the debate will be held, holds from 300-800
people, and it would be great to fill it up, especially if we are able
to convince C-SPAN to cover it.  This should be a very exciting event,
and a great chance to learn about the Green candidates for president.  A
showing of our support at this event could be the first step towards
getting the Green nominee into later Presidential debates.  Please make
the trip down to Cambridge if you can!

Information, including directions, can be found below.  Please contact
me, Steve Milder, with any further questions.
peace.
