Green News and Opinion

I was sent an email this AM by Linda McCree. She is involved in the creation of a Rural Caucus. To learn more about her plans and how you can help establish the Rural Greens, hit the "Read more!" link below...Here's what Linda sent out:

A new, moderated RG business listserv has been set up so that those wishing to work hard on getting a Rural Caucus accredited in the GPUS can focus on doing so. Some of you put that suggestion forward before, and time has proven you right. The general RG listserv is a good forum for ideas, but it's now obvious that it's not going to do the job of moving us toward official recognition within the Green Party.

Signing up for the business listserv is important, as it will give you a voice in policy decisions and put you in a position to help in the effort to gain ccreditation for the Rural Caucus. Unlike the free-wheeling, high-volume general Rural Green listserv, THIS NEW LISTSERV WILL BE LOW-VOLUME, LIMITED TO GREEN PARTY MEMBERS ONLY, AND VERY FOCUSED ON POLICY AND ACCREDITATION WORK. While the general discussion listserv will continue, and Wes has set up a blog for us to post articles, policy
decisions, etc. at, we hope this business listserv will be the working arm of the Rural Greens.

To sign up for the new Rural Green business listserv, simply send a blank e-mail to:

ruralgreenbusiness-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Or go to

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ruralgreenbusiness

and signup there.

We hope you'll continue in the effort to bring a greater rural voice into the GPUS.
