[GPCA Updates] 2009 Winter/Spring Issue of Green Pages now online (fwd)

[Green Party of California Updates]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Winter 2009 issue of Green Pages is now available for on-line reading.

Our first electronic-only edition contains many improvements, including
the use of video, color photos, one article available in English and
Spanish. We're now located directly on the gp.org server and feature a
newly designed masthead. Unlike the previous print editions, you'll be
able to post comments directly into the blog.

This issue includes a feature article by Wendy Thompson, a long time
Green and former UAW local president about a recent caravan of labor
activists who drove from Detroit to DC to bring their message to a
national audience.

In Elections you'll find two important articles detailing the paths that
state parties in Arkansas and Illinois have followed for growing the party.

The Opinion Section contains an article, in english and spanish, about
statehood for Puerto Rico.

Finally, this issue brings what we hope will be the first of many
articles by Young Greens.

The 4 page PDF is being finalized and will be uploaded over the weekend.

Read, Comment, Circulate.

Letter to the Editor
“I feel like I speak from a very “Green” perspective for lack of another
way to put it. This is why I feel on good grounds to offer a little
criticism and concern on my part for the U.S. Green Party.”
