• What are they afraid of, the Greens?

Having recently spent over 30 hours in 3 days in a “virtual” court room, facing grueling testimony in regard to the Democrats’ challenge to our petition for the Green Party candidate for Governor of New Jersey, including threats by an over-zealous attorney of fraud and forgery (which should have been bridled back by the presiding Judge, but weren’t), I can only come to one conclusion.

• A candidacy and a choice for acceptable domestic and international policies hangs on handwriting analysis?

• Did Bias and Discrimination Lead to a Benavides for Governor Write-In Campaign?

Consider the following. Is your signature in 2025 the same as it was in 1973? Or in 1999? Or in 2020? Does your signature look the same every time you sign something? Would your signature, written in the quiet of your home look the way it does if you are instead signing someone’s clipboard in the middle of the summer on a boardwalk in Asbury Park? How does your electronic signature, you know the kind you write with your index finger on a screen, compare with the signature you write with a pen on paper?

You already know the two-party system is broken. But what you may not know is just how rigged it really is.

Ballot access restrictions. Debate exclusions. Corporate-funded campaigns. Voter suppression. The system is set up to keep independent voices out and the same old parties in.

• Stephen Zielinski of the Green Party has big plans if elected New Jersey governor in 2025. Here's what his environmental agenda looks like.

NEW JERSEY — Committing to clean energy. Tackling climate change. Pursuing “environmental justice.” These are some of the plans that Stephen Zielinski has for New Jersey if he is elected governor in 2025.

The West Virginia Mountain Party renews its call for the West Virginia Democratic Party to denounce the illegal, mudslinging mailers sent to Wheeling residents last year and to reprimand any West Virginia Democratic Party officers who may have been involved in their production and distribution. The bizarre mailers attacked the Mountain Party, its candidates, and Chair Dylan Parsons.

The Northwest Indiana Green Party has taken some hard knocks this spring as we push our grassroots environmental movement forward. We were not allowed to table at three local Earth Day events here in the region which means we have the establishment scared. In one email from an event organizer we were told that if we were allowed to table that we had to commit to not talk politics, not talk about Medicare For All and not talk about community health. As your NWI Greens we could not participate with our hands tied and voices muted. 

Howdy y'all! Welcome to another episode of Redneck Gone Green! We're joined to night with Gloria Mattera as we discuss the ins and outs, struggles, and goals of the Working Families Party. Thank y'all for joining and remember, feel free to join in on the conversation by writing to us in the comments section

Orange County State Senator James Skoufis recently ended his campaign for Democratic National Committee Chair. What can be learned from his effort? 

In early January, Skoufis posted on X, exhibiting a self-delusion about Green voters common to many Democrats. Referring to the 2024 Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race in which the Republican won with 48.82%, followed by the Democrat (48.60%), Libertarian (1.29%), Green (0.95%) and Constitution Party candidate (0.34%), Skoufis wrote “The Green Party spoiled another major race for us just the latest on a very long list.”

New York State Senator James Skoufis, a candidate for Democratic National Committee Chair, recently said he would go on “permanent offense” and “dismantle” the infrastructure of the Green Party if successful in his bid. Skoufis made the remarks last month on social media, specifically citing the results of the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania.
