Greens: Cynthia McKinney deserves to participate in the Sept. 18 presidential debate in New Orleans
• Green Party leaders cite McKinney's advocacy of the rights of Katrina survivors and criticism of government response to the disaster, saying she will speak for displaced and excluded people of New Orleans if invited to the debate
• Greens seek an end to presidential debates limited by arbitrary criteria to the two corporate party candidates; pollsters' omission of McKinney amounts to manipulation of the presidential race and censorship of the McKinney-Clemente campaign
• Cynthia McKinney's speech in Denver, August 24: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzoiIQSanx4
WASHINGTON, DC -- Green Party leaders called for the organizers of the September 18 presidential debate in New Orleans to admit other candidates along with the Democratic and Republican nominees, including Green nominee Cynthia McKinney.

Green Party decries “Bonusgate”
Calls for electoral reform in Pennsylvania
HARRISBURG - The Green Party of Pennsylvania today issued a statement applauding the efforts of Attorney General Tom Corbett in his investigation of the "Bonusgate" scandal. The Green Party was adversely affected by challenges to its candidates by the Democratic Party in 2006, when its candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor withdrew rather than fight the challenges. Senatorial candidate Carl Romanelli fought his challenge only to lose in court and face an $80,000 judgment to pay for the Democratic Party's legal fees. It has now been revealed that Democratic staffers involved with the challenges were illegally paid for their efforts out of state funds.
