4th of July Parade - the LWGP will be in the Oshkosh 4th of July Parade, with a float, marchers, and US Senate candidate Rae Vogeler! If you want to join us, contact Jenni Ryan (jenniryan AT hotmail.com)

Diebold TSx Touch Screen Machines - the LWGP opposes the implementation of these Diebold TSx Touch Screen voting machines in Winnebago County, which was recently approved by the municipal clerks and the Winnebago Co. Board. We have spoken up at every Board meeting regarding these machines, and have demonstrated in front of the court house. We believe that these specific machines threaten our elective process in Winnebago Co. due to their proven security weaknesses as reported in the media, by election experts, and by their track record in elections this year. We urge citizens to avoid using these machines if at all possible to ensure casting a ballot that can be counted and recounted.

"Troops Home Now" Referendum - Oshkosh / Fond du Lac Although Fond du Lac has called off its attempt to put a referendum on the November Ballot calling for all troops in Iraq to be withdrawn, the potential still exists in Oshkosh. August 3 is the deadline for submitting signatures, and a half-dozen folks are already collecting signatures. The LWGP supports the referendum drive, but is not fully committed due to the tight time frame and questionable commitment from others to collect the needed signatures (over 3,000). Activists will be collecting signatures at Waterfest on Thursday June 29th, and at Sawdust Days June 30 - July 3. Contact lwgp@wisconsingreenparty.org to help.

County Board Size - the LWGP unequivocably opposes reducing the size of the the Winnebago Co. Board and all County Board sizes in our area. Smaller county boards reduce the level of direct democracy in our communities, and increases the likelyhood that Big Money can buy our Board.

Wisconsin Green Party Candidates! - The Wisconsin Green Party is running candidates for 4 of 5 statewide constitutional offices, as well as US Senate, 2 House seats, and currently 3 state legislative seats! Please support the candidates in any way possible, from volunteering to merely donating a little spare change. All of these candidates are fighting for you, the average citizen, and fighting against Big Money, Lobbyists, Corporate America, and the entrenched two-party system. They will defend grassroots democracy, oppose the war, fight for clean air and water, and defend the rights of every citizen. The Green Party stands for you.
