Green for State Treasurer


Cal Skinner has a nice article on McHenry County Blog this morning about Scott Summers, Green Party candidate for Illinois State Treasurer. You can read it at http://www.mchenrycountyblog.com/

I met Scott about ten days ago, and I urge your attention to his candidacy. It's time to break the gridlock that the Republicans and Democrats have on elected positions!

And read this morning's Associated Press article entitled "3rd-party challenges are warning sign." While the article focuses on New York and New Jersey races, the ground swell is nationwide. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_THIRD_PARTY_CANDIDATES?SITE=KING&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

On an almost-daily basis people are asking me, "What is the Green Party?" The short answer is, "It's a national political party and one of the three established political parties in Illinois." You can read the Green Party platform at http://www.gp.org/, and you can read the Illinois Green Party platform at http://www.ilgp.org/

This is the year to vote for the candidate, not a party.
