PAT LAMARCHE moved south to Portland, Maine, in 1996 to take a job as the 
first
and only female host at the venerated heritage talk radio station, WGAN. She 
soon
became known for her liberal views and was approached to run for governor
of the state of Maine in 1998 on the Green Independent Party ticket. Despite 
a
grassroots campaign, the death of her mother midway through, and raising her 
two
children as a single mother, LaMarche led a respectable campaign that 
generated
seven percent of the vote from a budget of just $20,000. She became the 
first
woman in the history of the state of Maine to gain ballot access for a 
political
party due to her campaign.  Pat was selected by David Cobb to be his running 
mate
in this year's Presidential election. To learn more about Pat please go to

JOHN AMARILIOS is a general practice attorney from New Canaan who is running
for State Senate, District 36 (Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan) in order to
address the problem of consumer debt and predatory lending, as well as
traffic congestion and other quality-of-life issues.

NANCY BURTON is an anti-nuclear activist and attorney from Redding who won a
weeklong shutdown of a nuclear power plant on environmental grounds. She is
running for State Assembly District 135 (Easton, Weston, Redding) to work
for the permanent closing of Millstone and Indian Point nuclear plants, for
judicial reform, and to put people and the environment first in Connecticut.
