The Green Party's Annual National Meeting to be held in Reading this summer

The Green Party's Annual National Meeting will be held at the Abraham Lincoln, a historic Wyndham Hotel and Conference Center, at 100 N 5th St in downtown Reading, July 12-15, 2007. The meeting will bring an estimated 300 + people from all over the country and world to Reading, from as far away as Nepal to as close as your next-door neighbor. Its primary focus is the three day GPUS business meetings of all the Green National delegates, as well as music and informative entertainment that will focus on the four pillars of the Green Party: social justice, nonviolence, grassroots democracy, and ecology. Green candidates seeking various offices, including President in 2008, will be highlighted as well.

Many Greens from Philadelphia are expected to attend.  Visit the official website of the Annual National Meeting at www.gpanc.org.  On that site you can:
