WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Green Party candidates are running campaign ads throughout the U.S. in
preparation for the November 7 general election.
"The number and quality of ads show that the Green candidates have reached a new level of
sophistication and support in their races for public office," said Jody Grage, treasurer for
the Green Party of the United States. "The ads cover everything from the need to withdraw U.S.
troops from Iraq, to issues like health care and global warming, to attempts by
debate sponsors and Democrats and Republicans to bar Greens from candidates' debates. We're reaching millions of
voters with these ads."
A list of Green campaign ads posted online is appended below, with links to the ads themselves.
Green Party leaders also noted other important
developments in the 2006 election season:
-
Nearly 400 Green candidates are on the ballot in 2006
-
So far in 2006, Green candidates have won 24 out of 62 elections around the U.S., for a win
rate of 39%
-
In Illinois, Green gubernatorial candidate Rich
Whitney is drawing 9-11% in recent polls, and his campaign promises to be
the first time a candidate has achieved official ballot access and
major party status for a nationally organized third party since 1920 in Illinois
-
Antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan has endorsed Green candidates Malachy McCourt for Governor of
New York, Michael Berg for U.S. Representative from Delaware, and Todd Chretien for U.S. Senator
from California <http://thirdplanetvideo.com/CindySheehanEndorses2.html>.
