How to Choose the Green Party Ballot & Write-In Vote

The only way* to become a registered member of a recognized political party in Ohio is to vote in a partisan primary and select that party's ballot. We're all so used to the duopoly that we forget this aspect of politics. I met one of our members while collecting signatures and I asked her how she happened to pick up a Green Party ballot. She said she went to her polling place and when the poll worker asked her if she wanted a Democrat or Republican ballot, she said in frustration: "what else is there?" and for the first time there was another choice!

Dear Ohio Green Party member, January, 2012

Boycott Suggestions
(1) It's impossible to boycott every company on the list, so choose
the major ones, those who gave the largest amounts
(especially the Koch Brothers, owners of Georgia Pacific, who
have financed the attacks on public workers).
(2) As a general rule, try to stick with local businesses instead of
national chains.
(3) Don't ruin yourself financially by pulling money from accounts
that are not due yet or selling stock at the wrong time. This is
not intended to punish YOU!
(4) Consider writing letters to businesses you patronize regularly

Green Party History by David Ellison

THIS ARTICLE WAS TAKEN FROM A DISCUSSION ON DAVID ELLISON'S CAMPAIGN PAGE ON FACEBOOK.

This is only my understanding of the history. Others may be able to add detail or variations on the story.

The European Greens had made great strides into national parliaments propelled by their anti-nuclear weapons organizing by the early 1980's. They rose to international prominence at this time. Petra Kelly and others articulated an anti-nuclear, pro-environmental and socially just political point of view.
