Hello Everyone,


By now you know the 2008 Green Party of the United States Presidential
Nominating Convention and Annual Meeting is in downtown Chicago from July
10-13th.  This year's event is shaping up to be one of the best events of
the year.   Please visit http://www.greenparty2008.org for all the
information related to the convention, including registration and the link
to reserve your room at the headquarter hotel, the Palmer House Hilton.
Staying at the Palmer House is a very important aspect of this convention,
the party needs to fill rooms to get the best rates on space, plus don't you
want to be where all the action is?   If you share a room it is reasonable,
especially for such a beautiful hotel in the heart of downtown Chicago.

Beyond the nomination of our presidential candidate on Saturday the weekend
has much to offer from amazing speakers such as Malik Rahim former Black
Panther and Green Party candidate, long time community activist on various
social justice issues.  Malik also co-founded the Common Ground
Collective/Relief, an organization that provides short term relief to
victims of hurricane disasters in the gulf region.  Please visit
http://www.commongroundrelief.org/ for more information.  Many of you know
Kathy Kelly, co-founder of Voices in the Wilderness, an organization that
worked to end sanctions in Iraq beginning in 1996.  She has visited Iraq and
other locations in the Middle East on several occasions and you can read
more about her recent work at http://www.vcnv.org    Another amazing
activist speaking at the convention is our own Steering Committee member
Cliff Thornton Jr. a long time social justice activist who has done much
work on drug policy reform.  Please visit
http://www.efficacy-online.org/for more information on his work

The workshop selection will be top notch, with expert activists from across
the country discussing an array of issues.  From foreign policy issues
related to the Middle East and Iran, working toward immigrant and LGBTQ
rights or to how to campaign on a shoestring budget, attendees have the
ability for much education and continued learning.

Thursday evening's International Reception will feature Greens from all over
the world.  In 2004 we had over 35 International guests representing at
least 15 countries.

The Annual National Meeting Committee urges you to register as soon as you
can and to reserve you room at the Palmer House Hilton.    It is most
financially helpful to the party to have the attendees staying at the Palmer
House, our headquarter hotel.     Downtown Chicago is an epicenter of
activity, especially in the summer months, with Grant Park and the
magnificent Lake Michigan only a couple of blocks away the location is
awesome.

So, please visit http://www.greenparty2008.org for registration, room
reservations and general questions.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in July.
