Pinal County Greens Congratulate Jill Stein on Landslide Win in Arizona Green Party Presidential Primary

Pinal County Greens Co-Chair Richard Grayson Reacts to Arizona Green Primary Poll Showing Jill Stein Leading and Grayson Running Last

APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz., Feb. 12 -

Green Party presidential candidate Richard Grayson today reacted to the latest poll in the February 28 Arizona Green Party primary, saying it made him "very depressed."

"There's just no good way to spin this poll," Grayson said.

The latest Ragamuffin Reports telephone survey of unlikely Arizona Green presidential preference primary voters

finds Dr. Jill Stein leading with 61% support

to Dr. Kent Mesplay’s 21%.

The Rev. Michael Oatman is a distant third with 8% of the vote,

followed by Gary Swing and Gerard Davis with 5% each,

with Richard Grayson trailing with 0%.

This Arizona survey of 122 unlikely Arizona Green presidential preference primary voters was conducted on February 11, 2012 by Ragamuffin Reports.

The margin of sampling error is +/- 40 percentage points with a 35% level of confidence. Field work for all Ragamuffin Reports surveys is conducted by Putz Opinion Research, LLC.

"I guess I might as well concede now," Grayson said, before leaving for the free show celebrating the second anniversary of The Underground in downtown Mesa.

"But the poll didn't contact me, and I already cast an early vote for myself.

Inshallah, I could double or even triple that in the final returns."

Pinal County Greens Urge Americans to Listen to Jill Stein's "People's State of the Union" on January 25

Apache Junction, Ariz., Jan. 6 -

Today the Pinal County Greens passed a resolution urging Americans to listen to Dr. Jill Stein's "People's State of the Union" on January 25, following President Obama's State of the Union address to Congress.

Dr. Stein, a candidate for the presidential nomination of the Green Party, will present a response to the President's speech. As her campaign website notes,

You’ll hear a realism about America’s situation – and the ways to overcome it – that Wall Street an the Washington establishment don’t want you talking about. We can have an economy that provides jobs for everyone without depressing wages or destroying the environment. We can get Wall Street off our backs and win control of our lives and common future.

Through this special online broadcast, you will hear presidential candidate Jill Stein describe the Green New Deal that can reclaim our future and fulfill the promise of America. Lines will be open for your questions and ideas. All you need is an internet connection and a computer.

Richard Grayson, co-chair of the Pinal County Greens, called upon Arizonans and normal people to hold "Green house parties" to participate in the People's State of the Union. "Let's celebrate!" said Grayson.

Pinal County Greens Pass Resolution Urging Jill Stein to Run for President

Apache Junction, Ariz., Oct. 12 -

The Pinal County Greens today passed a resolution urging Jill Stein to run for President.

The resolution asked Stein, a physician, educator, housewife, environmental health care advocate and former Green-Rainbow Party candidate for Massachusetts governor and secretary of state, to consider seeking the Green Party nomination for President because of her "proven experience, sharp intelligence, extraordinary political abilities, exemplary positions on issues, and her commitment to economic democracy as shown by her support for the Green New Deal and her recent activism on behalf of Occupy Boston."

The Pinal County Greens, member of the Arizona Green Party in America's second-fastest-growing county, noted that they had not yet made an endorsement in the Green Party presidential nomination race. But Pinal County Greens Co-Chair Richard Grayson said, "We are so impressed with Dr. Stein's credentials and character that we are enthusiastic about her potential campaign for President."
