Legislative Agenda
We are focusing our legislative efforts around the following issues:
Living Wage
Legislation; Universal Health Care; Electoral Reform; Public
Financing of Elections; Corporate Welfare Reform; "The Sooty
Six"; Nuclear Energy Danger; Sanctions against Iraq.
The
Connecticut Green Party stands united with the Green
Party of the United States in demanding that the Bush
Administration and other governments around the world seek a
non-violent solution to terrorism and the crises in the Middle East.
A short list of issue priorities
for the Green Party:
-
Passing legislation that would create a living
wage for all employees working for companies with State of Connecticut
contracts.
-
Passing legislation banning all forms of corporate
welfare, including all state subsidies and tax abatements.
-
Instant Runoff Voting/Electoral
Reform. In addition to a constitutional change to get IRV, we would also
introduce same day voter registration and a change in the rules on how to
obtain ballot status for minor parties.
-
Establishing a new Energy Policy
for Connecticut.
We will also continue to support coalitions
working to pass legislation that will:
-
Clean-up or shut down the "sooty six" power plants in southern Connecticut.
-
End child poverty in Connecticut.
-
Enact public financing of elections
in Connecticut.
-
Stop the Death Penalty.
If you want to help
or if you have other ideas about how the Green Party can help build a more
democratic and ecologically sustainable society, please
