Green Party prepares for races
By RAY HACKETT
Norwich Bulletin
HARTFORD -- The Democrats and Republicans aren't the only candidates on the November ballot.
The Green Party of Connecticut endorsed four candidates at its convention in April, including the first black candidate for governor.
Clifford Thorton, 61, of Glastonbury will lead the Green ticket. Also running under the Green Party banner for statewide office are Nancy Burton, a public interest lawyer, for attorney general; Mike DeRosa for secretary of the state, and S. David Bue for state treasurer.
Ralph Ferrucci was nominated as the party's candidate for U.S. Senate.
Thornton is harsh critic of the war on drugs. His mother died from a heroin overdose when he was 18, and he expects that will be the most important part of his campaign. He claims stiff penalties for users and selling has resulted only in sending parents and other potential taxpayers to prison. He supports decriminalizing all drugs, the legalization of cannabis and hemp, and the use of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and ecstasy for medical use.
Burton, who lives in Redding, has long been a critic of the Millstone nuclear power plants in Waterford, filing numerous law suits against the company and state in unsuccessful efforts to shut the plants down.
DeRosa has criticized the state's campaign finance reform efforts, particularly provisions that require third parties to collect signatures of 20 percent of all voters from the last election to qualify for funding.
Bue is a certified financial planner, "practicing socially responsible investing" in Westport, according to his campaign literature.
Ferrucci, who ran for mayor in New Haven under the Guilty Party, supports the immediate withdrawal from Iraq, universal health care and a repeal of the Patriot Act. He also supports an education system that covers people from pre-kindergarten through college.

Sunday's Norwich Bulletin had a front page header, top right of paper
(that's a very good thing), announcing Green candidates, with the article on
Page 6 by Ray Hackett. He reported on the convention.
I encourage everyone to send the Elections Correspondent's name for their
local paper to Tim. General press releases rarely reach the right person.
I'm kind of assuming that Tim's doing the press for all candidates, but that
may not be true!
