The Green Party of Michigan invites you to become a Green candidate for state and local offices in 2016.\r\n<\/strong>\r\nYou can continue the Sanders political revolution all the way through to November by becoming a Green candidate.\r\n\r\nThe Green Party Convention for selecting candidates is Saturday, July 30 in Lansing. See www.migreenparty.org<\/a> for details.\r\n\r\nTo become a Green candidate is simple and free. See my FAQs at:\r\nhttp:\/\/www.migreenparty.org\/chairpersons-corner<\/a>\r\n\r\nUnlike becoming a Democratic or Republican candidate, Green candidates have principles \u2014 Ecological Wisdom, Grassroots Democracy, Social Justice and Non-Violence \u2014 the four pillars of the Green Party worldwide. Green candidates also pledge to accept money only from individuals. Becoming a Green candidate is free and costs what time and energy you put into it. We\u2019ll help you with the few simple forms to get you started. \r\n\r\nThe essentials you need to know to become a Green candidate are available here.<\/a>\r\n\r\nThe platform<\/a> of the Green Party advocates broad and sweeping changes to our state to make the four pillars real and living. It aligns very well with much of Sen. Sanders\u2019 platform. The Green Party national website (www.gp.org<\/a>) has up to date press releases and other sources on Green political principles.\r\n\r\nThere is a list of questions to better help you and the Green Party understand one another. It is called a vetting questionnaire and is available here.<\/a>\r\n\r\nGreens are prevented by law from adding any candidates after the last day of our convention, July 31 at noon, so we need to hear from you soon.\r\n\r\nYou can reach our elections coordinator John LaPietra at: jalp_z@yahoo.com\r\n \r\nPlease contact him or the Green Party with any questions at:\r\n\t\t313-815-2025\r\n\t\twww.migreenparty.org<\/a>\r\n\t\tGreen Party of Michigan on facebook\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\nFred Vitale\r\nChairperson\r\nGreen Party of Michigan\r\nfreddetroit@gmail.com<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Green Party of Michigan invites you to become a Green candidate for state and local offices in 2016.
