Greens,
A few weeks ago, the Green Party became the first alternative political party in history to register a national senatorial campaign committee with the Federal Election Commission. The eight-member Green Senatorial Campaign Committee chaired by Teresa Keane, a former Green Senate candidate from Oregon, was created to promote the campaigns of Green Party candidates running for the United States Senate.
The committee’s main goal for the 2006 election cycle is to support as many qualified Green campaigns as possible. The Green Party has nominated 14 senate candidates for 2006 and a key issue in their races is the Iraq War. Green candidates call for immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. With your personal investment we will help Green campaigns get their message out – a message that America wants to hear. To raise those voices – we need to raise some money.

I did a lot of thinking over the weekend, while I was camping and hiking, about things I’d like to add to my campaign platform. One idea that came as a result of my hiking experience this weekend is one that I plan to formalize this more for my campaign website:
This Saturday, August 12, there will be a public debate with these Utah U.S. Senate candidates:
The debate will begin at 10:30 a.m., Salt Lake City Main Library Auditorium, 210 East 400 South, Salt Lake City.

UPDATE: The article below appears in today’s paper with this headline:

Update: Senate candidates’ Iraq views clash
By Matt Canham

If Dave Starr Seely were to become Utah’s next U.S. senator he would vote to immediately end the war in Iraq and bring U.S. troops home.
“It is time to just bow out of it as quickly as possible,” said the Libertarian candidate. “This war has proven to be the biggest terrorist recruiting effort ever.”
Constitution Party candidate Scott Bradley also would vote for a complete troop withdrawal, as would Desert Greens candidate Julian Hatch and Roger Price of the Personal Choice party.
But none of these men are expected to become Utah’s next senator. And the man who will most likely retain that seat could not have a more contrary view.
“It is irresponsible to make any declaration of withdrawal,” said Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, who is seeking to win his sixth term in office this November. Hatch not only disagrees with these third-party candidates but questioned the courage of those who side with them. “If we just have the guts to continue we will be effective in establishing one of the only representative governments in the Middle
East,” Hatch said.

I’ve updated my campaign website with a totally new design. There may be a few changes as time progresses, but overall I’m pleased with it. It was also a learning event for me in using php.
You can see my new website at Deanna Taylor for County Council.
The Green Party of the United States is spotlighting candidates each week on its website. You can read about the candidates around the nation .
So far there are 241 Candidates in 2006 in 32 States in 52 Types of Offices. There have already been 17 victories in races this year.
The largest slate is Californina with 44 greens running, followed by Texas (yes, Texas!) which has 24, then Wisconsin with 21 and then Pennsylvania with 20. Gubernatorial offices are being pursued by greens in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachussetts, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
Looks like this will be an exciting year for green elections!
