WASHINGTON, DC -- The Green Party has posted a new
page featuring video links of Green presidential
candidates, including debates and forums.

The address of the video page is
<http://www.gp.org/2008-elections/presidential-videos.php>.
  The page will be updated regularly with new video as
more Green presidential campaign events take place
around the US.

Six Green candidates are on various state ballots for
the Green nomination, which will be decided at the
party's National Nominating Convention in Chicago,
July 10-13.

The video page currently has links to video clips of
the January 13 Northern California Green Presidential
Debate at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco
<http://www.gp.org/2008-elections/president/sf_debate.php>,
and a January 5 forum with candidates Kat Swift and
Jesse Johnson in Minnesota
<http://www.gp.org/2008-elections/president/Minneapolis-debate.php>.

The page also carries a link to audio of the entire
San Francisco debate
<http://www.gp.org/2008-elections/display.php?ID=25>.

An additional page has been opened at the Green
Party's blog <http://greenpages.wordpress.com/> where
visitors can post comments on the videos.  The comment
page address is

submitted required petitions with valid signatures to
their respective elections offices.
