Former gubernatorial candidate brings news of the Green Party's growing strength

March 1st, 2004: California gubernatorial candidate Peter Camejo continues his tour of Midwestern cities on March 30 when he speaks at: 
Tuesday, March 30, 2004 7:30 p.m.
University of Illinois-Chicago
Cardinal Room, Chicago Circle Center
750 S. Halsted
Chicago

Camejo, who came in third in 2002 and fourth in the 2003 election for Governor of California, will present evidence of the Green Party's strength in California, such as his campaign's breakthrough in the televised debates for the Governor's race, the strong showing by the Green candidate in the Mayor's race in San Francisco, and polls showing that Green Party voters are 2-to-1 non-white.

Camejo will also address the complex issues around the presidential election. He will advocate a strong, unapologetic Green Party campaign, which he believes is the best way to promote effective opposition to George Bush's policies and the dominance of the two-party system. Camejo and others have recently formed the Avocado Education Project, a nonprofit designed to provide a forum for the debate within the United States on the issue of multi-party democracy. Visit www.avocadoeducationproject.org for details.

Camejo will be joined by Scott Summers, the Illinois Green Party's candidate for US Senate, and Lance Selfa from the International Socialist Review.

The event is co-sponsored by the Chicago Area Greens, the GreensAllianceUSA, and the Internationa  Socialists Organization. For further information on this event, call Alex Kantrowitz at 773.728.6268.
