CHARGES AGAINST MAYOR JASON WEST DROPPED On July 12, the district attorney
of Ulster County, New York dropped charges against Mayor Jason West of New
Paltz for marrying same-sex couples, saying that a trial would be needless
and divisive. Mayor West, a member of the Green Party, had been charged
with 24 misdemeanor counts of violating the state's domestic relations law
when he performed public marriage ceremonies for two dozen gay and lesbian
couples in February 2004. Mayor West had been expected to stand trial in
the fall, and if convicted, he could have faced fines and up to a year in
prison. His lawyer, E. Joshua Rosenkranz, said the district attorney's
decision was a "total and complete vindication." The original charges were
dismissed by a town justice in June 2004, but were reinstated by a county
judge in February. Mayor West appealed that decision, but the State Court
of Appeals declined to hear the case.

NATIONAL The Green Party's Strategic Planning Working Group has completed
the Verification Phase of the National Shared Vision Survey. Forty-seven
states participated (including some that aren't Green Party affiliates), and
538 total surveys were received. The surveys will be analyzed according to
four areas: Internal/Financial, Visibility, Electoral, and Issues. The
survey results will be published during the Green Party's annual meeting in
Tulsa, June 21-24 (see item above).
CALIFORNIA (1) 2003 Green Party gubernatorial candidate Peter Camejo said
on June 20 that the "Christian Taliban" is responsible for attacks on the
civil liberties of all Americans, and the harassment of the Muslim community
of Lodi during an ongoing probe of alleged terrorist links there. (2) The
Green Party of California expressed relief that "bogus" charges against San
Francisco Green Party activist June Brashares were found to be false by a
New York jury late Thursday night in her trial stemming from an arrest
during President Bush's speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention.
(3) The Oakland Green Party announced its support for the Measure Y
Coalition, councilmember Desley Brooks, and other city officials seeking to
develop alternative venues for sideshows participants. (4) The Green Party
of California said it had "grave concerns" over the recent revelation that
the California National Guard has admitted setting up a new unit to spy on
California citizens – especially those engaging in free speech activities in
opposition to the war in Iraq. (5) Citing the health of all Californians,
California Greens praised the passage by a key Assembly committee of
legislation to create a universal health care system, but warned that
"greedy" special interests are trying to kill the bill. SB 840, the
California Health Insurance Reliability Act Sen. Sheila Kuehl (D-Los
Angeles), survived the Assembly Health Committee on a 9-4 vote and now moves
to the full Assembly for a vote. It earlier passed the Senate.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (1) Several members of the DC Statehood Green Party
participated in rallies at a Washington, DC meeting of the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe. The stated purpose of the rallies was
to encourage European parliamentarians to issue a statement supporting
voting rights in Congress for DC, but Statehood Greens emphasized that
voting rights did not confer democracy on the District, and instead demanded
DC statehood. (2) Statehood Greens helped raise money for peace and justice
activist Damu Smith, who is suffering from cancer. Smith is founder of
Black Voices for Peace. (3) Statehood Green Party leaders Jared Ball and
Rick Tingling-Clemmons spoke at the Juneteenth Celebration and DC Music
Festival on June 19 at the African American Civil War Memorial. The event
commemorated the 140th anniversary of the day, June 19, 1865, when Union
troops reached Galveston, Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation in
the last state of Confederate rebellion -- 2½ years after the date of the
Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863).

Party passed these statements: (1) The Green-Rainbow Party of
Massachusetts calls for the end of all American military and economic aid to
Israel. (2) The Green-Rainbow Party of Massachusetts calls for an
ecologically sound commitment to equitably sharing and conserving all water
and other natural resources among all peoples of the region. (3) The

Right of Return for each Palestinian refugee, which means each Palestinian
has the right to choose to return to his or her home and lands. This right
is a fundamental human right and is enshrined in international law for all
peoples of the world. (4) The Green-Rainbow Party of Massachusetts rejects
all apartheid-based governmental systems and calls for a secular, democratic
governing entity for all people in the geographic region of historic
Palestine (today referred to by some people as Israel, the West Bank and
Gaza). We support a democratic system with equal rights for all in which the
peoples of the region democratically decide their future. (5) The
Green-Rainbow Party of Massachusetts recognizes the right of Palestinians
to self-defense as well as nonviolent resistance to Israeli occupation and
the Israeli project of forced displacement of the indigenous Palestinian
population which has been ongoing since 1948. The right to resist
occupation is guaranteed to all peoples of the world by international law.

MICHIGAN (1) The Green Party of Michigan joined the national Green Party of
the United States in citing the Downing Street memo as further evidence of
the deceit of the Bush Administration in its rush to invade Iraq, and as
reason for citizens of all parties (or none) to call for the end of the
occupation and the impeachment of George W. Bush. (2) Michigan Greens
endorsed grassroots activist Maureen D. Taylor in her campaign for a seat on
Detroit City Council, at the party's quarterly state membership meeting in
Dearborn. (3) Greens heard from Grassroots Activist Maureen D. Taylor, then
endorsed her candidacy for Detroit City Council. (4) Michigan Greens

NEW YORK The Green Party of Onondaga County made its final round of
candidate designations at a county convention on Monday, June 27. The Greens
designated Cosmo Fanizzi for the 16th County Legislature District seat.

Syracuse. David Linton was designated for the 17th County Legislature
District seat. Linton grew up on the near west side, is a longtime resident
of Syracuse, a retired Syracuse Fireman and US Postal worker, a veteran, and
a Little League coach at Skiddy Park. Finally the Greens voted to designate
Howie Hawkins for Mayor. Hawkins is a Teamster truck unloader at UPS and a
long-time Green Party activist. Previously, the Greens had designated
Hawkins for the Councilor At-Large seat vacated by Beth Brownson, but they
decided to shift Hawkins to the race for mayor. Gary Bonaparte completes the

GREEN INSTITUTE The Green Institute and GP360 have announced the

for a New World" by Roger Morris & Steven Schmidt, on June 30, 2005.

NATIONAL Recent Green Party press releases:
-- Greens urged state and municipal governments to maintain access to
medical marijuana, in accord with democratically enacted local laws, despite
theSupreme Court's ruling on June 6 in favor of federal prosecution.
"Numerous cities have passed resolutions condemning the USA Patriot Act for
violating basic constitutional rights and condemning the invasion of Iraq"
said Maya O'Connor, co-chair of the Green Party of the United States, who
noted that many of these resolutions were passed through the efforts of
Green elected officials and lobbying efforts led by Greens. "We urge city
and state legislatures to adopt similar resolutions defending locally
enacted laws allowing medical marijuana."
http://www.gp.org/press/pr_2005_06_15.shtml
-- Greens urged the Senate to reject the McCain-Lieberman Climate
Stewardship Act, calling the bill an effort to subsidize nuclear energy as a
way to combat global warming. The bill repeats earlier failed legislation
that would combine mandatory caps on carbon dioxide emissions with a
credit-trading system modeled after the Clean Air Act, and adds incentives
for nuclear development ($6.1 billion in the recently passed House version;
$4.3 billion in the Senate bill).
http://www.gp.org/press/pr_2005_06_23.shtml
http://www.truthout.org/issues_05/062105EB.shtml
-- Greens criticized the Supreme Court's June 23 decision in the Kelo v.
City of New London case, calling it a "legalization of theft." The decision
expands the power of government to condemn private property ('eminent
domain'), permitting officials to transfer property from one private owner
to another. "Working class and low income homeowners will be at special
risk, since they provide less tax revenue, and the Court now gives
permission for city councils and statehouses to evict and replace them with
commercial and residential development for the sake of a wealthier tax
base," said Steve Kramer, Green Party co-chair. "In the wake of the New
London decision, the choice between voting for a Green and voting for a
Democrat or Republican in some races might spell the difference between
keeping and losing one's home," said Green Party co-chair Peggy Lewis. Many
local Green candidates, such as Elaine Brown (running for Mayor of
Brunswick, Georgia) and Gloria Mattera (running for Brookly, New York,
Borough President) are fighting eminent domain battles.
http://www.gp.org/press/pr_2005_06_28.shtml
http://www.elainebrown.org/Brunswick%20Factsheet.php
http://www.electgloria.org/news/campaign/20050624.php
-- Greens accused Democratic Party elected officials of failing to hold
President Bush sufficiently responsible for betraying the trust of the
American people, after the President used the 9/11 attacks to justify the
administration's planned invasion and occupation of Iraq during his speech
on Tuesday, June 28. "What the President told America in his speech wasn't
grounds for cautious criticism -- it was grounds for impeachment," said
Elena Everett, chair of the North Carolina Green Party and Co-chair of the
Green Party's Peace Action Committee. "None of the Democratic leaders who
criticized Mr. Bush are willing to admit that the enormity of his deception
deserves impeachment. None of them are willing to demand a halt to the
slaughter of Iraqi civilians and U.S. troops by ending the occupation." The
Green Party supports impeachment of President Bush.
http://www.gp.org/press/pr_2005_07_01.shtml
-- Greens condemned the July 7 attacks on the London transit system, and
expressed sympathy for the families of the murdered, for the hundreds of
people injured, and for all those shaken by the bombings. Greens also
called July 7 bombings consistent with warnings that the invasion of Iraq
would fuel anti-West anger and make the world less secure from terrorism.

NATIONAL Brent McMillan, political director of the Green Party of the
United States, attended the Carter-Baker Commission on Federal Election
Reform hearings at Rice University in Houston, Texas on June 30. Mr.
McMillan submitted a brief on behalf of the Green Party challenging
commission members to support numerous systematic reforms. Greens have led
numerous efforts across the U.S. for election reforms, demanding 'clean
elections' plans, Instant Runoff Voting, and other proposals, and have
criticized the failure of the 'Help America Vote Act of 2002' to ensure
accurate vote counts through new technology.

NATIONAL (May through October) The Green Party Task Force on Haiti
