Michigan Greens Offer Video Response
to 2015 "State of the State" Speech
===================================
    The Green Party of Michigan (GPMI) has prepared a 20-minute video
response to the 2015 "State of the State" speech Governor Snyder is
scheduled to deliver at the Capitol Tuesday evening.

    The response is already posted on YouTube at

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beW2ZhNJvAA

    Appearing in the video are

        * Fred Vitale of Detroit, GPMI's state chair and a candidate
for Wayne County Commission last year;

        * Sherry A. Wells of Ferndale, who was nominated by GPMI last
June for a seat on the State Board of Education and is already running
again for 2016; and

        * Chris Wahmhoff of Kalamazoo, GPMI's US Senate candidate last
year but better known for his protest of Enbridge's 2010 Kalamazoo River
pipeline spill.

    Eric Borregard of Dexter, producer of the video and a Green
endorsed by the party in his campaign for a non-partisan seat on the
Washtenaw Community College board, has also posted two previews.

    The first is almost three minutes long, and traces the chain of
events from the Enbridge spill here in Michigan to the People's Climate
March this fall.

    The second preview, a bit over five minutes long, is a broader
introduction to the response and to the Green Party of Michigan.  The
panelists touch on such issues as local control of education, the
national security that comes from protecting our state's crucial
fresh-water resources, opposing and ending repressive force and police
violence, and making democracy work for the people.  They discuss how
all these issues are related to each other -- and to the Green Party's
founding values, its Four Pillars:  Grassroots Democracy, Social
Justice, Environmental Wisdom, and Non-Violence.
