Help Greens Defeat Amendment One
Vote to Reject the Same Sex Marriage Amendement on May 8.
The North Carolina Green Party strongly opposes the passage of
Amendment One, which will codify discrimination by amending the NC
Constitution to narrowly define marriage as a union between one man and
one woman. This measure is an affront to the ideals of equality and equal
protection. Vote to defeat Amendment One in NC's May 8, 2012 primary. [More]

Help Greens Keep Fracking Out of NC
|
Join the Green Party to keep
Hydraulic Fracturing (fracking) out of our state. Fracking is a
dangerous method of extracting natural gas. Millions of gallons of
water, sand, and toxic chemicals are injected underground to break up
shale rock and release the gas. Fracking has been banned in NC since
1945 but the General Assembly is poised to overturn the laws that make
it illegal this Spring! [More]

NC House Votes to Lower
Ballot Access Barriers
On
June 8, 2011, the NC
House of Representatives voted to approve the The Electoral Freedom Act
of 2011 (HB 32) in a bipartisan 67-50 vote. The bill dramatically
lowers the threshold for a new political party to gain and maintain
ballot access in North Carolina. The bill lowers the number of
signatures a new party must obtain to 0.25 percent of registered
voters. That party could then retain ballot status by getting 0.25
percent of the votes for president, governor or any council of state
office, whichever is lower. The bill now moves to the Senate, as SB
225.
