Local Green Parties to hold Presidential Caucuses to choose candidate.
Boscov’s, Wilkes-Barre, Hotel Wayne, Honesdale and Keystone College, La Plume to be polling places for a day.
Green Party members in Northeastern Pennsylvania will have an opportunity to vote for their preferred candidate for the party’s nomination for President of the United States. Since Pennsylvania does not allow third parties to participate in the Primary Election Day contests, contested races must be decided by a convention, or some other internal process. The Pennsylvania Greens have used a system of caucuses in areas around the state in order to settle presidential primaries previously in 2004 and 2008. The same system will be utilized this year. The public is welcome to learn more about the Green Party and it's candidates.

GPPA Renews Call for Fracking Ban

Green Party of Pennsylvania Renews Call for Fracking Ban
Group marks 42nd Anniversary of Earth Day
Sunday April 22 marked the 42nd anniversary of Earth Day. The vision of a healthy planet and the awareness raised and the political victories of the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act and others are becoming a faded memory as Pennsylvania moves forward with “Marcellus Madness.” The Department of Environmental Protection has become a meaningless joke dependent on revenue generated by gas industry permits for it's very survival thanks to cuts in it's budget by Governor Corbett. Millions and millions of gallons of our Commonwealth waters are withdrawn daily and turned into radioactive industrial sludge while DEP and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission approve request after request by the oil& gas industry. Meanwhile, we had no snow pack this winter and this spring has not yielded any rainfall to speak of. We appear to be headed for drought.

Here is what I'm hoping will be the first of several bi-weekly emails updating you on the status of the Green Party of PA petition drive. If you do not wish to receive these emails, please let me know.
1) The Petition
Just in case you didn't get it in previous emails, please download the petition and instructions for petitioning. Remember, the petition must be printed double-sided and on legal paper. If you need me to print them for you, just let me know. If you have never petitioned before, please let me do a quick run through of the basics with you on the phone some night next week. It's not rocket science, but it's also not as easy as it looks.
