Don't Just Vote - Run For Office!
The cornerstone of our electoral strategy is to participate in national and state elections
to help us win locally. This year, our plan is to focus on village and town elections. Recently, we sent out letters to hundreds of Greens in Monroe County calling on them to run for office. Town Boards, Village Trustee, School Boards, Highway Superintendents, the works! If you live in one of the County towns or villages, please consider running for public office. It's how we build the party and spread our vision. Or, if you know of other progressives in your neighborhood who want to run, direct them to us. Village elections are actually in the spring so we need to get going.

Host a Screening of American Blackout
Some of you may have had the honor of seeing the movie American Blackout at the High Falls Film Festival. We highly encourage you to check out their website at http://www.americanblackout.org. The movie is about election fraud perpetrated on predominantly people of color and centers around the efforts of outgoing Congresswoman Cythia McKinney. Greens who saw this movie said it was powerful and amazing. Some had the opportunity to meet the producer of the movie, Anastasia King. Because of the controversial nature of the picture, distribution studios won't touch this movie. So Ms. King has encouraged progressive groups to show the movie. GPoMC has bought a number of copies of American Blackout and are inviting you to host a screening of the movie in your home or within the context of another social group you may be a part of.
