Who We Are

The Green Party of Delaware County, Pennsylvania is committed to fostering progressive policies locally and supporting the efforts of Greens in neighboring counties, throughout the state and the nation. We endorse the Ten Key Values as ratified at the Green Party Convention in Denver, CO, June 2000 and the notion that democracy requires full participation on the part of the citizenry.

We invite anyone who shares our concern about the corrosive effect of corporate money on society and the political process, who seeks to protect our environment from careless development and harmful technologies, who wishes to help create a more just society and who recognizes the importance of solidarity in the face of concentrated power and wealth to join with us as we instill these values at the grass roots and beyond.

Join the Delco Greens for GREEN SOLUTIONS '06!

On Saturday, June 24th, starting at 2pm, the Delaware County Green Party will present Green Solutions '06. This forum will be presented at Swarthmore Borough Hall, 121 Park Avenue. Refreshments will be available, and donations will be welcome!

We are calling this program Green Solutions '06 as we are providing some proposed solutions to electoral, environmental, and health care problems that neither major party has been able to solve. As Eldridge Cleaver famously said, "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem".

The following speakers will offer their solutions:

Candidates

Michael Thompson, Independent candidate for PA House District 165 (Radnor)

Christina Valente, Green Lt. Governor candidate

Carl Romanelli, Green US Senate candidate

Marakay Rogers, Green PA Governor candidate

Election Reform

How Proportional Representation Can Revitalize Delaware County
Kevin Murphy
