Discussion to follow.
Free and open to the public.

The spring of 1989 saw the largest pro-democracy demonstration in the history of China’s regime.

Greens in several states are planning to join in via the internet and we hope many more will do so as well. Please distribute this information to all candidates and campaign volunteers who might be interested.

During the breaks we will be airing commercials by/for green candidates and greens that provide candidate support services.

These commercials should be 2-5 minute youtube videos and the link should be sent to Ken Adler kenton.adler@lyon.edu (more than one is ok) Informational videos from any active committees involved in campaign/ballot access support are welcome as well.
