Let your Voice be Heard
You are cordially invited to attend the Mountain Party 2008 Convention. The voice of Mountain Party members is vital on a number of important issues to be addressed at the convention. The State convention will be held on Sunday, April 27, at La Dolce Vita Cafe in Sutton, West Virginia, near the center of the state.
Credentialed delegates to the Mountain Party State Convention will select a candidate to run for the office of Governor on the Mountain Party ticket.
Also, regional representatives will be able to caucus and select regional officers and regional delegates to the Mountain Party State Executive Committee for the next two years.
State convention delegates will also be electing the party's Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and three Deputy Executive Officers for the next two years.
And, as per our recent affiliation with the Green Party of the United States (GPUS), state convention delegates will choose up to eight Mountain Party members and eight alternates to represent the Mountain Party at the GPUS National Convention in Chicago on July 10-13.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, all Mountain Party members present (absentee ballots are also available in the newsletter available on this site) will cast a presidential preference vote, deciding how Mountain Party representatives will vote at the United States Green Party Convention. State Green Party affiliates such as the Mountain Party from across the country will meet at the national convention and deliver the results of their state's vote for a Green Party, Mountain Party presidential candidate. The winners of that election will appear on the West Virginia ballot as the WV Mountain Party candidate for President and Vice-President of the United States.
La
Dolce Vita is located at 400 North 4th Street (the corner of 4th and Main) in
downtown Sutton.
