Green Party of Colorado Media Contact: Kirstin Marr, (303) 870-0293, kirstinmarr@comcast.net DENVER, CO - The Green Party of Colorado will host a "Go Green" registration party, featuring Green presidential candidate David Cobb and several Colorado Green Party candidates at the D Note, 7519 Grand Avenue, Old Town Arvada, Wednesday August 11th, from 6-9 pm. The event follows the August 10th Democrat and Republican primaries when a large number of voters are expected to change their party affiliation to Green. Presidential candidate David Cobb, who won the Green Party nomination in June, has made building the Green Party a priority. Event organizers are promoting the event to encourage more Coloradoans to register Green. Green Congressional candidate Bob Kinsey is making registering new Greens a major focus of his campaign. "I'm asking progressives to cast another kind of vote by registering Green even if they think they cannot vote their conscience in the general election," explained Kinsey, "Progressives need to let the major parties know that they're tired of these 'lesser evil' candidates, and registering Green is one way to send that message." "I'm proud that the Green Party will be holding this event in Arvada - in my county," Jefferson County Commissioner Candidate Tanya Ishikawa said. "Jeffco is a beautiful county and the residents are concerned about preserving its natural beauty. That is one reason I am running for office and it is the reason why more Jeffco residents should register Green." Second-term Green San Miguel County Commissioner Art Goodtimes commented, "Watch out major parties! Cobb's commitment to a safe states strategy to help ensure Bush's defeat, coupled with his support for building the party from the bottom up, means the Greens will continue to be a deciding force in national elections in the coming years." Colorado Green Party co-chair Lanny Kness explained the idea behind the Go Green Rally, "The progressive vision for America is not being addressed by the leadership of the two major parties. We're asking progressives from all parties to join us in moving the country forward. Because of the two party system, themajor parties can just give progressives lip service, and expect them to just follow along with their conservative agendas. Help us grow the true progressive party." The Go Green event will include speeches by the candidates, voter registration, and will end with a Blues Jam led by the Clamdaddys.
