About Steven Welzer
Job History:
Founder, Green Party of New Jersey (www.GPNJ.org)
Member, National Executive Committee, Green Party of the United States
Editor, The GreenGram (GPNJ newsletter)
Important Issues:
Worldwide, few democracies limit voters to just two choices on the ballot. Surveys indicate that American voters would be interested in seeing the growth of new parties to provide more voices and more choices in elections.
The Green Party is stronger on environmental issues than either the Republicans or the Democrats. We recognize that the global warming crisis necessitates rapid action in areas such as renewable energy and fuel efficiency.
The Green Party advocates a new direction for foreign policy. America has almost 800 military bases all around the world, more than any other country in history. The U.S. military budget is almost as large as the rest of the world's defense spending combined! We ought to be setting an example in favor of peaceful diplomacy rather than militarism.
The Green Party stands for the renewal of local community. Big Business and Big Government both drain resources from local economies. We advocate community-based economics and a grassroots form of democracy. The federal budget is bloated! Cut federal taxes and enable those dollars to work for us more directly at home!
Why Vote For Me:
The Democrats and Republicans could use some competition! Green politics focuses on ecology, peace, and community. Send a message that it's time for a new political alternative!

Thank you.
Candidates who are running as endorsed greens or running non-partisan campaigns that are supported by the Green Party, from local to national office, may have a free web site through this page. Green and Green-friendly campaigns that already have a web site, may still be listed in our directory with a link to their official election site. Green candidates with little or no campaign budgets and no technical support can still have their qualifications, issues, and contact information available online.
