So this is what the Green Party’s got to say about Wisconsin

(10 am. – promoted by ek hornbeck)

Before I start, just so you know, the Green Party is airing their first weekly podcast tonight at 10 PM EST, focused all around Wisconsin and WI Greens.  More info here – as usual, you can chat and interact and stuff like that.

Interestingly, Madison, Wisconsin is actually one of the better cities in the nation to be a Green in.  They’ve got 8 elected officials there and one of their strongest state representative candidates in the nation ran and got over 30 percent of the vote there in 2010.  His name is Ben Manski and he’s now taking a leading role, with his organization Liberty Tree and a new one called Wisconsin WAVE, in the resistance to this new trend of hardcore union-busting.

The Green Party of Wisconsin and the Green Party of the US have also put out press releases (available here and here, respectively) on the matter, but Ben’s debate on CNBC today with a Republican state legislator shows really some of the best the Greens have to offer and some of what’s really missing from the Democratic Party.  Enjoy.  (The debate starts a bit before 6:30)
