On Saturday, June 9, the WV Mountain Party nominated a number of its members, thus qualifying each to register to be officially on West Virginia's ballots for General Election this November. Qualifying at the top of the Mountain Party ticket is Daniel P. Lutz, US Congress, 2nd District nominee. Vietnam War Veteran, and retired US Air Force Major Lutz will now square off against incumbent Alex Mooney (R) and Talley Sergent (D). Asked why he chose to be a Congressman, Lutz responded, "West Virginians need a voice, not an echo in Congress." Lutz explained by predicting, "Alex Mooney will continue to echo Donald Trump’s toxic policies. And, based on Talley Sergent’s active political promotion of the 2016 Clinton campaign, she, too, appears to be just an echo for business as usual in Congress." Continue reading

  The Green Party of the United States condemns President Trump's reckless withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Tuesday afternoon, May 8, 2018, and rejects the President's baseless statement that "this was a horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made." In spite of the saber-rattling rhetoric, Iran has remained compliant with the deal, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The Green Party notes the one-sided nature of this deal, which punishes Iran while allowing Israel to proliferate nuclear weapons for "self-defense," a move that increases the possibility for escalated conflict in the Middle East. As stated by Michael J. Koplow of Haaretz Tuesday, "Netanyahu has convinced Trump that leaving the Iran deal protects Israel. But the U.S. walkout means a full on Israel-Iran war in Syria now becomes far more likely. " Continue reading

(HELENA, MT) – The Montana Green Party (MTGP) sought to have the ballot access case brought by the Montana Democratic Party (MTDP) moved to federal district court on Monday. This action was taken on the basis of the belief that the case “...is an action involving issues of law arising under the U.S. Constitution.” The motion claims that statute (MCA 13-10-601), regarding ballot access in primary and general election, is unconstitutionally burdensome to third parties. The MTGP Coordinator Danielle Breck stated that “The Montana Green Party has repeatedly shown, through our various petitioning efforts, that we do, in fact, have the “modicum of voter support” the law requires and that our candidates are not “frivolous,” but rather provide an important alternative to pre-selected, unresponsive, corporate controlled candidates offered by the two-party oligarchy. The state statute on which the plaintiff’s case is based is itself unconstitutional, and it is for this reason we believe this matter should be heard in federal court.” Continue reading
