January 2, 2007 - HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year to everyone and hoping that you had a very happy holiday not matter what faith you believe in.

In the past week I have been actively busy in the forming of the Green Party in Madison County, Illinois. The party has done all the necessary work to be recognized as a political party in Illinois. Now the next step is bring it to the people. In Champaign County, the party was quite successful in the 2006 elections. Even though they did not win that had very strong showings. In Madison County, where there was no establish leadership for the Green Party, estimated votes on various offices had 3 to 4%. Considering there was no real effort to recognize the party, I think this can be good base in the county.

Hopefully within 12 to 18 months, we will see the results of forming the Green Party in Madison County, which will help me in my aspirations to enter the political arena by 2009. A lot has to be done, but if you live in Madison County, Illinois, and are interested in an alternative political party, email me at rwj4green@sbcglobal.net.
