[Green Party-CT]

  Dear United States Greens,

Now is the time to lend your  talents, passion, and energy to the 
Grassroots Movement, more ready than  ever, for a shift in the US 
political landscape towards the values of  Non-Violence, Ecological 
Wisdom, Social and Economic Justice, and Grassroots  Democracy.

The Green Party of the United States Presidential Campaign  Support 
Committee works to bring those values to the people and government  by 
supporting the work of Greens in bringing the American people an  
effective Green Party Presidential campaign.  We have work to do.   We 
need your help.

As a standing committee of the Green Party of the  United States, the 
committee is made up of dedicated Green volunteers from  State Green 
Parties.  Each state party is entitled to nominate members  to 
represent and support their efforts at building the Green Party and  
offering the American people Green options at the National level 
through  the work of this committee.

Much of the work is done by committee over  email, and monthly 
teleconference meetings.  The following are our  committee's 
objectives:

A. The PCSC will liaison between candidates  and Ballot Access Working 
Group to formulate and implement ballot access  strategy;

B. The PCSC will create and maintain a list of initial points  of 
contact, bylaws, and election laws for each state and caucus to  
provide as resource to the candidates (before the convention) and  
nominee (after the convention);

C. The PCSC will assist state parties  in creating and 
conducting a process that gets grassroots input into  determining 
presidential preference and selecting delegates to the  nominating 
convention. [Prior to the Nominating Convention the PCSC will  assist 
state parties in polling their membership to determine potential  
candidates and will publish the results of the poll, as well as 
sending  a letter to all potential candidates consisting of the 
results of the poll  and our contact information as a committee so 
that potential candidates may  reach us to make use of our available 
support services];

D. The PCSC  will coordinate public debates between candidates for the
GPUS  nomination;

E. The PCSC will lead and organize efforts to open the  presidential 
debates to Green Candidates and work to raise awareness of open  
debates.

F. The PCSC will lead and liaison between the ANMC, Media  Committee 
and candidates on coordination of a pre-nomination candidate forum  
and post nomination campaign launch at the National Nominating  
Convention.

G. In cooperation with ANMC, Media Committee and  Webmaster, the PCSC 
will create and maintain an official pre-Convention web  site to 
provide candidate information, resource links and tracking of the  
delegate selection process, and a post-convention web site to display  
the results of the nominating convention and provide links to the  
presidential candidate's official web site.

H. The PCSC will provide  coordination for communication between the 
GPUS committees and the  candidates (before the convention) and 
nominee (after the  convention);

I. The PCSC will assemble legal resources and advisors on  issues of
federal election law where appropriate and necessary;

J. The  PCSC will provide coordination with the CCC regarding 
cooperation between  nominee and down-ticket candidacies.

K. The PCSC will develop, and  administer GPUS candidate questionnaire 
to potential candidates and make  available candidate responses to 
State Parties through the GPUS web site,  National Committee 
delegates, Caucus delegates, and State Chairs. 

If  any or all of these activities are of interest to you, please

lively 2008  Presidential season, and need the help and input of all 
Greens.
