        <p class="regular"><b>New London Forum to discuss election plans.</b></p>
        <p class="regular">Hartford, CT-The Green Party of Connecticut announced
        today that New London will be the site of state wide party discussion
        about running candidates in 2005 and in 2006 against U.S. Senator Joseph
        Lieberman, Congressional candidates and a slate of state office
        candidates including against Gov. Jodi Rell.</p>
        <p class="regular">The Forum will be held at The Public Library of New
        London, 63 Huntington Street, New London, at 12 noon till 3 p.m. on
        Saturday April 2. The event is free to the public and welcome to anyone
        curious about the Green Party in the state. Local candidates for town
        and city in 2005 will lead the forum, followed by the plans for 2006.</p>
        <p class="regular">Tim McKee, National Committee person for the Green
        Party said, &quot;Running a candidate against conservative Democrat
        Joseph Lieberman has been the buzz in 'Progressive' or liberal circles
        for months and The Greens are serious about running its first Senate
        candidate whether or not a Liberal Democrats field a candidate in a
        primary.&quot;</p>
        <p class="regular">&quot;Republican candidates for Senate have been very
        weak in recent years with almost no big money or push, so Greens see
        this as a great way to advance the our issues and gain as a political
        party and grow numbers in the fall election in 2006.&quot;</p>
        <p class="regular">Although the Green Party has not run state wide
        candidates, except for President, two races have been run in the New
        Haven, 3rd Congressional district. One candidate for Congress for the
        5th District (against Congresswoman Nancy Johnson in Northwest CT area)
        is to be announced soon, and there is strong interest in running a Green
        Congressional candidate in the Second District against Republican Rob
        Simmons, who has faced weak Democrat candidates.</p>
        <p class="regular">&quot;Running for the state offices such as Governor,
        Lt. Governor, and Secretary of State will be a first for the Greens. We
        have elected more city and town councilors (3 Greens) than any other
        third party in the state, such Libertarian or Working Family Parties.
        The Connecticut Greens have had good showings in the Presidential race
        with over 65,000 Green voters in 2000, so running a state wide slate of
        candidates for these offices is a goal for the Greens in 2006, &quot;
        McKee said.<br>
        <br>
        <br>
        &quot;Across the country, 220 Greens have been elected in the US and
        hundreds more have appointed to government boards and commissions,&quot;
        McKee added.</p>
        <p class="regular">This forum will be the third in a series of
        discussion forums held across the state, with previous forums in
        Hartford, New Haven, and with other events to be announced soon.</p>
        <p class="regular">For information about the forums or the Green Party,
        the public is invited to call 1-888-877-8607 or visit the website: <a href="http://www.ctgreens.org">www.ctgreens.org</a>
