*Connecticut  *
The Connecticut Green Party recently won a significant decision against
Connecticut's public campaign finance system, which the court ruled was
unfairly awarding public finances to major party candidates while burdening
the Green Party and other parties with inordinate obstacles to public 
funds. 

A U.S. District Court judge ruled that Connecticut's public financing 
scheme
had  created a "discriminatory burden" for minor parties and had 
unfairly inflated
the public campaign funds that major parties were awarded.  "We're very 
pleased",
 said Mike DeRosa, co-chair of the Connecticut Green Party, that "the 
court ruled
that real campaign finance reform requires a level playing field."

The Green Party of the United States and our state Green Parties need your
support to continue working to level the playing field in court.  We 
don't take
money from real estate companies, private health insurance providers, or 
lobbyists. 

In fact, we don't take ANY corporate money because we think corporate 
money in
 politics is wrong.  If you want to help us work for fairer elections, 
please help us today.
