I will appear at the RI Board of Elections meeting on Wednesday May 28 at 3:30 PM at Board of Election headquarters, 50 Branch Avenue in Providence to contest a ruling that The Green Party of Rhode Island can not accept a $75 contribution from the Green Party of the United States.
In an age awash with political money, with Citizens United and related rulings giving more and more groups the opportunity to spend unlimited amounts of money and to hide the donors, How can it be that the Green Party of Rhode Island can not accept money that was donated by Rhode Islanders and is being returned to the Green Party in RI for party building activities? If this rule is not unconstitutional, it at least makes no sense in the current context.
The GPRI has since learned that it is relatively easy for the GPUS to register, and has been informed that the GPUS will register, but believes that a public discussion of these issues is critical for the functioning of democracy and is always happy to do its part to point out the hypocrisy in the political system.
