My fellow Greens:
As you know, the corrupt Democratic Machine has made it extremely difficult to run for local offices in Chicago. The good news is there is one office that you can run for this year for which getting on the ballot is fairly simple, there is an excellent chance of winning, and you could make a positive contribution directly to your community.
That office is Local School Council (LSC). LSCs approve the school budget and hire and fire principals. As such, they can be significant positive forces in their schools.
I served on an LSC from 1996–1999. I and others on the LSC encouraged the principal to apply for funds available at that time for renovations to the school. Without my encouragement she would not have taken this step. As a result, the school received asbestos abatement and upgrades to a number of classrooms and the playground.
This year, each of the Chicago Public Schools will elect a new LSC—all together, thousands of seats are open citywide. Seats are available for parents, staff and community members. To be a community representative you do not need to have children at the school, you just need to live in the school boundaries and care about the future of children in your community. Elections are held on April 7–8, 2014, with nomination paperwork due February 26, 2014.
I would encourage anybody who wants to serve their community and grow the Green Party to consider running for Local School Council. Winning the election can be as easy as standing outside the school on the voting day and handing out literature to parents!
To learn more, please contact Patrick Kelly, IL Green Party Vice President, at [email protected] or 773-203-9631 or see our Campaigns 2014 page. There will also be an informational conference call on Monday, February 17 about running for office (see below).
Sincerely,
Nancy Wade
Green Party Candidate for Congress, 5th District

The Independent Green Party Voter of Virginia is right! The IGP of V is all about Green. Moolah, cash, Benjis, samoleans… And jobs. Rim jobs. Screw jobs. Hand jobs. Jobs, jobs, jobs! They’re all about trains too. More trains, more crazy. They’re going off the rails on a crazy train! All aboard! Hahaha. Crazy, but that’s how it goes. Millions of people living as foes.
Maybe, it’s not too late.To learn how to love, and forget how to hate. Mental wounds not healing. Life’s a bitter shame. They’re goin’ off the rails on a crazy train. I know that things are going wrong for them. You gotta listen to their words………yeah, yeah………..
The Green Party’s Nancy Wade is right. The Green Party needs more candidates for all offices. Green Party candidates for local, state, and federal office – lift the positive Green Party message. The Green Party’s Green New Deal. Solar jobs. Wind jobs. Geothermal jobs. Rail jobs. Thanks to Nancy Wade, and the Green Party. Thank you for posting Green Party story.
