After the national election last week the Greens have become the largest left-of-center party in the Netherlands.

Klaver's platform is leftist but future-oriented and based around a vision of hope instead of fear.

4. Welcome refugees from the Syrian Civil War and other conflicts into New Jersey.
5. Support for housing justice and a moratorium on home foreclosures.

No U.S. troops in Syria!

After the catastrophic failures of regime change in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, the last thing that the U.S. should be doing is trying to orchestrate regime change in Syria. We need to enact an arms embargo on the Middle East rather than effectively arming all sides.

Stand with Jill Stein against putting American troops on the ground in Syria!

On November 3 Green Party candidates did well in the races they contested. Thanks to all who supported the campaigns and voted Green! Almost 9% of the voters in the 24th District voted for Ken Collins. In the 17th about 5% voted for Molly O'Brien. These are exceptionally good results for alternative party candidates. In our district, Jo Ann achieved her goal of receiving more than 1,000 votes! [ 286 more words. ]

Almost 9% of the voters in the 24th District voted for Green Party candidate Ken Collins. In the 17th about 5% voted for Molly O'Brien. These are very good results for alternative party candidates. Other Greens were in the range of 2.6% to 3.6% . . . still good relative to what other third party candidates received.

Thanks to all who worked on our campaigns, supported our campaigns, and then voted Green!

Below are the current results (still subject to update).

(i) means incumbent

(There is a quirk about what percentage the press reports because every voter can cast two votes. That doubles the number of votes and makes each percentage seem lower than if you figured it based on the number of VOTERS. If the press says a candidate got 1.2%, it can be assumed that about 2.4% of the voters cast a ballot for that candidate.)

Election Day is this Tuesday.

JoAnn Cousin and Steven Welzer worked hard petitioning to get their names on the ballot and then campaigning to get out their special message . . . about how the Republicans and Democrats are failing to address some of the most important issues of our times; how voters in this country would benefit from the opening up of our electoral system to "more voices and more choices"; how the government in Trenton responds to the needs of the big corporations rather than to the needs of "the 99%"; how we must protect the earth for future generations.

If you live in one of the following townships, please show your support for the Green alternative by casting your Assembly votes for JoAnn and Steve:

Middlesex County: Cranbury, Jamesburg, Monroe, Plainsboro, Spotswood.
Mercer County: East Windsor, Hightstown, Hamilton, Robbinsville.
