This event has been co-sponsored by:
We intend to support our candidates with publications, ballot access, and the support they will need to win. We intend to place our candidates on the Georgia ballot in 2000. Getting just the Presidential slate there is an $80 - $100,000.00 project. (If you think that is an outrage, read about HB-672 and sign the cyber-petition provided by the Voter Choice Coalition we helped create.)
If you are going to go out and dance, you might as well give the cover charge to the Party's efforts. We hope you attend and enjoy our events. We also invite you to help host an event in your community. Radio time, printing, and other campaign expenses can help us reach the majority we believe hold Green Values and who would benefit from building a just and sustainable future. If you would like to help organize a fundraiser in your community or help with one we've already got going, please write our Development Director.
If you want to support the work we're doing,
please buy tickets to, attend and/ or otherwise support any and all of
following events:
