2014 Green Candidate for Governor
Guest on Today's "Off the Record"
=================================
Paul Homeniuk, 2014 gubernatorial candidate for the Green Party of
Michigan (GPMI), is the guest on today's episode of WKAR's "Off the Record".
Homeniuk discusses issues of importance to the people of Michigan,
including the unreliability of the political establishment on the
tax-shift/road-funding Proposal 15-1 on the May 5 ballot, and the need
to ban fracking to protect the Great Lake State's unique and vital water
resources.
Homeniuk also explains how the Green Party is relevant to today's
political situation, and rebuffs suggestions otherwise by the show's panel.
In fact, notes GPMI elections co-ordinator John Anthony La Pietra,
the Green Party is more relevant than ever before. "Gallup polls
consistently show more voters nationwide identify themselves as
independents -- neither Democrat nor Republican -- than as either one.
The latest figure is 44%.
"And since Michigan doesn't require voters to register by party,
the percentage of independents is usually higher here. Independents may
even be a majority in Michigan."
The episode will air on WKAR at 8:30pm tonight and again at 1pm and
11:30pm Sunday. Check your own PBS station's schedule for local details.
