"We believe in an alternative, independent politics and active, responsible government. We believe in empowering citizens and communities. We offer hope and a call to action. Go Green!"

 - The Lake Winnebago Green Party (LWGP) represents the counties of Winnebago, Waushara, Outagamie, Green Lake, and Fond du Lac, in Wisconsin. Contact lwgp@wisconsingreenparty.org to get involved.

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.

Diebold TSx Touch Screen Machines - the LWGP opposes the implementation of the 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 this September and November to ensure casting a ballot that can be counted and recounted.

Wisconsin Green Party Candidates on the ballot across the state!

The Lake Winnebago Green Party is a group of citizen-activists who believe in Grassroots Democracy, Social Justice, Peace and Nonviolence, and Environmental Wisdom. We believe that the people should govern, not corporations. We want an accountable government, a clean environment, and end to the war, and justice for all.
