JOIN THE RURAL GREEN CAUCUS
At the Milwaukee Convention a group of Greens from around the US met to form
a Rural Caucus. Ten states were represented and discussion revealed that
rural areas not surprisingly share the same issues. We determined that it is
essential to the party that a Rural Caucus form to address these issues and
represent these easy to neglect but hard to ignore areas.
Formation of a national caucus requires the participation of at least 15
states and 100 members. One of the benefits is a seat on the national
delegation.
Interested parties - and you don't need to live in a rural area - please
contact ruralgreen@yahoogroups.com. Illinois is not yet represented, so
please take this opportunity to grow the party from the very grassroots that
makes this country tick.
Thanks,
Tom Bolema
