Takin' it to the People!
Don't tell the folks of La Crosse, WI that there is nothing they can do to stop the war on Iraq. They have demanded their City Council adopt a resolution opposing the war. If they fail to pass it, the La Crosse Tribune reports that the question would be put before the voters in a referendum.
We know a few things about who we Greens are, and what drew us to the Green Party. We know that the Ten Key Values, and the corporate party's corruption and lack of vision brought many of us to the Green Party. We know that mouth to mouth is the best way to spread the Green message, and that running candidates or issue campaigns is the next best way to grow.
Take a look at your state laws. Can your Green Party put such an issue on your ballot? If so, let us know. Maybe there's a Green "Party Builder" right here, a template for new or inactive chapters to try.
