Green Party of the United States November 30, 2002 P. O. Box 57065
Washington, D. C. 20037
Attention: Dean Myerson, Political Action Director
Subject: Proposal for the 2004 Green Party of the United States
Presidential Nominating Convention
A progressive Green Party needs a progressive green city
as its venue for the 2004 Presidential Nominating convention.
A Green Party convention in Minneapolis will be greeted by two Green City
Council Members and a Park Board member who is Green in a Union operated
City Convention Center and is catered by a con-
tractor who is operating under the Living Wage Law and Union rules.
Minneapolis is a city with some of the nations strongest GLBT laws and
largest GLBT community in the US. It has a socially responsi-
ble theater community which captures the spirit of our times and gives voice
to strong social issues. Minneapolis also has a large resource-base of
environmental and social advocacy organizations.
The Green Party of Minnesota, represented by its
Coordinating Committee and Chair, submits this pro-posal to host the 2004
Nominating Convention in the city of Minneapolis.
Minneapolis can deliver on all nine critical factors that must be met in
order to have a successful convention. These factors include
a facility with great flexibility.
a Local Organizing Committee with a proven track record, organized for
success, capable of off-loading any and all work from GPUS staff and
Steering Committee.
meeting and housing facilities that operate on the basis
of Green principles, i. e. locally owned facilities paying living wages with
union workers.
affordable housing of delegates as well as other participants and guests
close to the Convention venue.
excellent opportunities for education and activism through local
organizations and events.
ease of access from around the United States and the rest of the world.
On behalf of a large group of strongly committed and
enthusiastic Minnesota Green Party members, we look forward to getting
started immediately on the planning and execution of this convention.
Yours Sincerely,
Cameron Gordon ( signed) Jenny Heiser ( signed) Chair,
Green Party of Minnesota Minnesota Delegate to the GPUS

Section 1:
Nine Critical Success Factors that Must be Met in Order to Have a Convention
to be Proud of.
This section provides a summary of the needs that must be
met in order to have a successful convention and which Minneapolis and the
Green Party of Minnesota ( GPM) are ready and able to deliver.
1. FLEXIBILITY:
Since attendance cannot be determined with great accuracy before the actual
event, the meeting facilities must be able to respond flexibly.
The Convention in Denver had 300 delegates attending
Friday and Saturday, with a total of 1,200 showing up for the nominating
event.
Minneapolis is prepared to handle a similar situation with delegate counts
potentially going up to 500 or 750 or more, and a nominating event needing
to facilitate up to 1,500 to 2,000 to 5000
people or more. Note that GPM has more than 8,000 members/ supporters who
represent possible attendees.
Special events such as Welcome/ Opening reception with
major name entertainment may require additional venue and planning. The City
has the facilities and the GPM has the experience.
Food service is a must. To control cost and create a wonderful social
environment, Loring Park, close to the Convention Center, represents an
example of a venue that can be used for picnic style
luncheons in addition to food service available within the Convention
Center.
2. EXPERIENCED LOCAL ARRANGEMENTS GROUP
This Convention will potentially be the largest yet undertaken by the Green
Party of The United States.
To assure a successful event, the Local Organizing
Committee must: A. Represent a strong track record of performance.
B. Be organized for success. C. Be able to off-load any and all work from
GPUS staff and Steering Committee.
A: Represent a strong track record of performance.
The GPM and its members can point to five recent major experiences
demonstrating our ability to plan and conduct major events:
1. The first Nader-LaDuke event, April, 2000, where over
600 supporters turned out to hear Ralph and Winona. An overflow crowd of 100
were in the museum atrium.
2. On Friday, July 14, 2000 the GPM once again was honored to play host to a
Nader special event with only a little over one week s notice. Speaking
engagements on local media out-
lets were set up and a fund-raiser, though hastily arranged, was a
first-class event and com-pletely sold out. It netted approximately $
10,000. But the highlight of Ralph s visit was the
evening speaking engagement setup by the GPM. This event, held in a
classroom auditorium 4
4 Page 5 6
2004 Convention Proposal Submitted by The Green Party of Minnesota
Page 5
in the University of Minnesota s Law School, attracted approximately
1,600 people anxious to hear Ralph s message. People PAID to hear Ralph, a
presidential candidate, speak.
3. Of course the event that truly showed how well-organized and capable the
GPM is was the Target Center Super Rally, held on Thursday, , September
23rd, 2000 in Minneapolis. Not
only would this have been a major feat with 6-12 months advance notice, but
the GPM pulled off this event, which drew over 10,000, with a scant 4 weeks
to prepare.
4. The GPM 2002 State Endorsing Convention was held in
May, 2002 with 384 delegates, a gallery of visitors and exhibitors. It was
deemed a very successful event.
5. A short notice visit by Ralph Nader to Minneapolis in October 2002,
resulted in another successful arrangement with a fund raiser and press
conference. More than 300 people
attended.
B: Be organized for success.
Organizing for success is achieved with a Team-Based Local Convention
Organizing Committee.
The event that truly showed GPM s capability to organize
large scale events was the Target Center Super Rally, held on Thursday, ,
September 23rd, 2000 in Minneapolis. Not only
would this have been a major feat with 6-12 months advance notice, but the
GPM pulled off this event, which drew over 10,000, with a scant 4 weeks to
prepare.
Similar to the previous Nader events, the GPM provided a
total turn-key operation from start to finish: Media relations/ releases,
press kits, organization of tabling by over 20 social justice
groups, arrangements for seating and speaking ( ( ASL interpreters) to the
hearing-impaired community, tickets printed and distributed as well as a
plan for the sale of tickets at the door,
promotional materials printed and distributed state-wide, organization of a
procession of all the GPM locals into the auditorium, a pre-event
fund-raiser in a special Target Center suite, securi-
ty for the event, the evening s script and program, the green rooms for
Ralph and Winona and Granny D, stage design and set-up, the evening s
fundraising pitch that included passing spe-
cially created boxes and the subsequent accounting of funds, and all of the
large number of de-tails that go into making such an event a success.
The Minneapolis Target Center event proved that Portland
was not a fluke. It also proved what a dedicated, organized, talented and
cohesive group of people make up the Green Party of Min-
nesota.
C: Be able to off-load any and all work from GPUS staff and Steering
Committee.
The GPM is prepared to plan and implement all aspects of the convention
infrastructure.
The GPM is also prepared to handle all aspects of marketing and publicity,
domestically and internationally.
Additionally, the GPM is prepared to support and/ or
assist with the program such as identifying and contacting speakers,
contracting with entertainers, liaison with the media, etc. 5

3. GREEN FACILITIES
The meeting and housing facilities should operate on the basis of Green
principles: The focus must be on locally owned facilities paying living
wages and/ or union operated.
The city of Minneapolis has strong Living Wage laws. The
proposed venue, the Minneapolis Convention Center is locally owned and
operates with union workers.
4. AFFORDABLE AND IN CLOSE PROXIMITY HOUSING
Housing of delegates and other participants need to be close to the
Convention venue and still be affordable.
Numerous reasonable hotels are available within walking
distance ( or short commute which we propose to handle with shuttle buses)
of the Convention Center. Two are operated with union
workers. Green Party members are also ready to open their homes to visitors
needing a place to stay.
5. FOREIGN VISITORS
Foreign visitors should be given special attention.
Foreign visitors will be greeted at the air port, helped with
transportation to the place of stay and will also be offered stay in local
homes of Green Party members.
6. PUBLICITY AND PRESS RELATIONS
The press needs facilities and access to candidates and leaders.
A local communications team from GPM will be organized specifically to
work with GPUS communications people to make sure that media needs are met.
7. CENTRALLY LOCATED
Access to the convention location should be easy from any place in the US
and overseas.
Minneapolis-St. Paul International air port is the hub for Northwest
Airlines ( NWA) with excellent connections domestically and internationally.
NWA is also recognized for its
progressive employee practices including domestic partner benefits.
Access from the air port to the city is easily accomplished via public
transportation, including the new light rail that is expected to be
operational close to the airport for trips to down town
Minneapolis.
Minneapolis is also centrally located for those who arrive by car or bus.
The bus terminal is within walking distance of the Convention Center and
down-town hotels.
Once in the city, an extensive network of public bus
transportation is available. 6

8. GREEN EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY
Opportunities must exist for communication and demonstration of the Green
Party Values.
Minnesota, a progressive state, has large numbers of
opportunities for education and activism-oriented activities.
Educational activities can include visits to local organizations, invited
speakers and visits to demonstration sites.
Resources include, but are in no way limited to:
The Green Institute Green Stages in the Twin Cities
Resource Center of the Americas Institute for Agriculture and International
Trade
Institute for Local Self-Reliance Land Stewardship Project
9. ELECTORAL EXPERIENCE
Examples of demonstrated ability and experience of running for office and
winning local elections will serve as a strong motivator for others, create
news reports, and represent
knowledge and motivation.
Two council members from the City of Minneapolis.
Board member on the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board.
Winona County Commissioner, District 2.
Winona County Soil and Water District Supervisor.
City of Duluth Council Member.
Mayor of Cass Lake, an Anishinaabe woman and enrolled member of the Leech
Lake reservation.
Mayor of Sandstone, MN.
And more than 60 candidates running for office in the 2002 elections
including Governor, Secretary of State, State Auditor, US Senator, US
Congress ( Districts 1, 4, and 5) and numerous
State Senate and Representative offices.
A race is currently on for a Minneapolis City Council seat recently vacated.
It will be decided in early 2003 with high hopes of adding a third Green to
the Minneapolis City Council. 7

Section 2:
The Minneapolis Convention Center Provides Flexible Meeting Space to Meet
All Needs.
The Minneapolis Convention Center is located on the south
end of downtown Minneapolis. The Center finished a major expan-
sion in 2002. The first meeting held in the newly expanded space was the
AFL/ CIO s Annual National Union Industries
Show.
In 2001, the city hosted 331 conventions with 423,194 dele-gates,
The expansion project doubled the building s exhibition,
meet-ing and ballroom space, jumping from 280,000 to 480,000 total
square feet. The additional 200,000 square feet of exhibition space and 37
new meeting rooms allows even larger meetings
and conventions to meet in Minneapolis. In fact, more than half of future
business secured in 2001 could not have been booked
without the expansion of the center.
Downtown Minneapolis ( see inserted picture) boasts 6,000 ho-tel rooms, 10
of which are within walking distance of the Min-
neapolis Convention Center and many connected via the city s five-mile
skyway system. Two of these hotels are staffed with
unionized workers.
First level floor plan shows significant flexibility of
arrangements.
Between the use of Ballroom A & B, meeting rooms, and use of
exhibit halls for the really large meetings, floor space combinations
are numerous. Additional meeting rooms are available on the second
floor.
When theater style layout is used,
Ball Room A can handle 1,300,
Ball Room B can handle 650,
Ball Rooms A & B combined can handle 1,950,
Exhibit Halls can handle from 8,000 to 10,000 each, and
meeting rooms can handle from 141 to 2,184 people depending on
how they are combined.
Fig. 1: The main floor of the Convention Center shows
hallways which easily accommodate exhibitors, creating
lots of flexibility in how we can use the facilities. 8

Fig. 2: Meeting rooms offer flexibility of arrangements and
capacities ranging from smaller meetings such as caucuses, to larger
meetings, such as Platform Committee meeting, receptions and the
Convention itself.

flexibility and capacity. 9

to invite all local Greens and out-of-town visitors. The Sunday program
lends itself to this large gathering which offers opportunity
to create a significant media event.

organization is created to place key people in critical positions to assure
a smooth running con-vention. Actual names will be identified once the
commitment is made to hold the convention in
Minneapolis. The resource groups include those who on four occasions created
large rallies for Nader on extremely short notice. With 8,000 members/
supporters, GPM has the resources.

Fig. 8: The local organizing Committee will have two
coordinators. This assures continuity in case of one not being able to
fulfill the duties ( sick, etc. ) and splits the functions to make the
workload compatible with the volunteer position.
A paid Meeting Planner/ Convention Coordinator will represent full-time
staff for the last critical 3 months of preparations and the Convention
itself, and half-time for the three prior
months. This person is expected to assure that all volunteers meet their
obligations on a timely basis and that all preparation details are in place.
The Green Party of Minnesota operates with a part-time
staffed office. The facilities will be available for the Meeting Planner (
if needed) and other pre-convention office support. The
office is fully equipped with telecommunications, computer, copy machine and
office space for two people.
Five functional areas have been established for planning
and execution. Each of the areas will be staffed with volunteers ( except
the Meeting Planner) who will be responsible for their area. 12

Section 4
Time line Identifies Critical Early Action and Overall Management Approach
TASK ONE: This has to be tying down the pre-convention
and convention facility requirements. There is already competition for some
of the space. The Convention Center space is held with a
contract and monetary deposit. The needs outlined in this proposal must be
verified and agreed to as soon as possible, hopefully no later than January
15, at which time we should
be under contract.
TASK TWO: The overall work-plan will be refined. Volunteer recruitment
begins, a schedule set, and development of the time-line for decisions and
reporting.
LOCAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE MEETINGS:
These meetings will be the tool used to communicate needs, progress, and
problems ( if any) among the various teams. Initially, they are expected to
be on a quarterly basis be-
coming monthly events in the six months prior to the convention, and weekly
when the convention is a month away. The Meeting Planner is expected to be
on board for the last
6 months.
POST CONVENTION WRAP-UP:
Lessons learned will be documented to help future convention planners. This
will include identification of that which did and did not work, and
tabulation and analysis of the
Convention Evaluation forms. . 15

Excellent Opportunities for Education and Activism to Bring the Green
Message to Millions Of Americans
A brief sampling of Green-oriented organizations
demonstrates opportunities for education and activism on a broad basis. The
following presents summaries with additional details available in the
appendix.
The Green Institute
The Green Institute is an award winning, entrepreneurial, environmental
organization creating jobs, im-proving the quality of life, and enhancing
the urban environment in inner-city Minneapolis. The Institute
encompasses several programs: the Phillips Eco-Enterprise Center, the ReUse
Center, DeConstruction Services, GreenSpace Partners, and the Green Resource
Center.
A fundamental aspect of our mission is the creation of
high-quality living wage jobs for residents of the Phillips neighborhood, an
area of concentrated poverty and unemployment. What sets us apart from
many similar organizations is our emphasis on sustainable community
development: development that simultaneously pursues economic,
environmental, and social gains.
Green Stages in the Twin Cities
The Twin Cities is overflowing with theater. Minneapolis theater
cupboard is fully stocked. The largest concentration outside New York.
Selecting a green list of theaters isn' t much of a chore
because there are hundreds from which to choose. Theaters speak out and let
the audience know what kinds of performance they will produce. The theaters
named on this list ( see appendix) either have social critique or community
development as a central tenet of their mission.
These groups produce works that attempt to challenge peoples perspective on
consumption, racism, sex-ism, other mainstream American issues, and their
place in the world.
Minneapolis is a dynamic cultural center that boasts
nationally renowned theaters that produce plays that wrestle with the issues
of today, said Bonnie Morris, , producing director for the Illusion Theater.
With topics such as homelessness, AIDS and racial profiling, today s
American theater captures the spirit of our times and gives voice to strong
social issues.
Green Elected officials.
Minneapolis has two City Council members whose terms expire in 2005.
Thus a Green Convention in Minneapolis will be greeted by Green officials in
a union operated City Convention Center, catered by a
contractor who is operating under the Living Wage Law and union rules.
Additionally, one of the Parks Board members is green. The City has one of
the nations strongest GLBT
laws.
Wind Energy.
Buffalo Ridge is a four hour drive away. The Wind Generating Farm
located there was over subscribed when the participating utilities offered
subscriptions. The public has voted in favor with their pocket
books and are paying a premium for green energy. It is expected that wind
energy may be available for one Minneapolis neighborhood by 2004. 16

Page 17
Diversity
Minneapolis is home to one of the largest gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender ( GLBT) commu-nities in all of North America.
Since passing its first protection policies 20 years ago,
Minneapolis has enjoyed some of the strongest GLBT rights in the country.
Nearly 100 major corporations and companies based in
Minnesota extend Domestic Partner Benefits to all employees, including
Target, Northwest Air-lines, General Mills, and Medtronic, to name but a
few. In addition, some sponsor workplace
groups for gays and lesbians.
More than 400 organizations and 200,000 attendees make Minneapolis home to
the largest free GLBT Pride festival in the world each June.
Minnesota Alliance For Progressive Action
The Minnesota Alliance for Progressive Action ( MAPA) is a statewide
coalition of 27 organiza-tions who represent a broad range of constituencies
concerned with economic and social justice,
the environment, and human rights. Since its inception MAPA has demonstrated
the power of these diverse groups to achieve more through working together
for social change. MAPA actively
works to unify the grassroots resources of member organizations, champion
issues of justice, fair-ness and equality; and affects public policy and
debate through research, education and
organizing.
Of special note is MAPA s long-term effort to implement Clean Elections in
Minnesota. Progress is being made toward implementation.
Land Stewardship Project ( LSP)
LSP is working aggressively for sustainable family farm agriculture. LSP
is leading the fight against factory farms, for social and economic justice,
and for the stewardship of the nation s
farmlands. LSP has already stopped 26 factory farms from materializing and
is currently working on four more. 17

Ease of Access From Around the World
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Air Port
Minneapolis is one of the few cities with an international airport just
15 minutes from downtown. The Minneapolis/ St. Paul Airport has the
reputation as one of the most convenient and efficiently run air-
ports in the world.
Because of its central location in the US, Minneapolis is an average 2.5
hour flight time from most ma-jor US cities.
Domestic Flight times to Minneapolis:
Atlanta 2: 35 Boston 2: 50
Chicago 1: 20 Dallas 2: 35
Detroit 1: 45 Denver 2: 25
Los Angeles 3: 55 New Orleans 3: 40
New York 2: 20 Phoenix 2: 10
Portland 3: 25 San Francisco 3: 25
Seattle 3: 45 St. Louis 1: 20
Washington, D. C. 2: 10
No matter where you are, getting to Minneapolis is easy. Serviced by dozens
of airlines, including local-ly-run Northwest, the Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport ( MSP) is a gateway to the world. In to-
tal, more than 25 airlines fly in and out of MSP, including:
Air Canada America West
American Continental
Delta Frontier
IcelandAir United
Northwest Airlines

Minneapolis is a major U. S. city and spans 59 square miles ( 153
square km) . Depending on your plans, you can walk, ride or drive.
Minneapolis compact downtown means that everything is within walking
distance. If the weather isn t cooperating, don t worry. Get almost anywhere
through downtown s 5-mile Skyway system or catch a taxi from any hotel.
Rent a car. Want to see the whole metro area? Or perhaps
you re taking a day-trip outside Minneapolis. Nine car rental agencies
service the airport.
Take a bus. Riding public transportation is a convenient and inexpensive way
to get around. Fares range from $ 1.25 to $ 2.25, depending on time of day.
For route information use MetroTransit s Trip Planner.
Hop in a cab. Cab services are available anywhere in the metro area. Catch a
taxi at the Minneapolis Convention Center and any hotel, or call ahead for
service.
General taxi-fare information ( approximate) :
MSP International airport to downtown Minneapolis: $ 22
Within downtown Minneapolis: $ 5-10
Downtown Minneapolis to downtown Saint Paul: $ 25
Hiawatha Light Rail Line: From the air port to down town Minneapolis.
Service on this brand new LRL is scheduled to start in April, 2004, with
service from the Fort Snelling
station ( near MSP Int l. Airport) to downtown Minneapolis.
Service from the MSP International Airport proper is not scheduled to begin
until December, 2004. 19

About The Minnesota Greens
Minnesota has a large active and capable membership base that has grown
from approximately 400 members in 1994, when the Green Party of Minnesota (
GPM) was established, to more then 8,000
members and/ or supporters today. Though the GPM did not have its first
local until 1995 when the Duluth Area Greens affiliated with the state
party; today, there are 23 locals throughout the state with
2-3 more almost ready for affiliation. Additionally, there are 11 Campus
Greens locals in Minnesota. ( See Appendix for listings of the GPM and
Campus Greens locals. )
Greens living in the 5 county metropolitan area of the
Twin Cities St. . Paul & Minneapolis nickname is the largest enclave of
Greens in the Midwest and the heart and soul of the GPM. . This pool
of activists, many seasoned by years of work around a myriad of issues, is
the group who put together 3 major events to showcase and benefit the 2000
Nader-LaDuke campaign in 2000.
The first Nader-LaDuke event, April, 2000, was held in
the Bell Museum auditorium on the University of Minnesota/ Twin Cities
campus. Over 600 supporters turned out to hear both Ralph and
Winona, with an overflow crowd of 100 in the museum atrium. The MN Greens
handled full promotion of the event including media releases,
transportation, total turn-key security operations, sound system
work, stage preparation and set up, and the green room accoutrements. This
was just the beginning of our learning curve at handling all of the
arrangements and details of such a special event.
On Friday, July 14, 2000 the GPM once again was honored
to play host to a Nader special event with only a little over one week s
notice. Speaking engagements on local media outlets were set up, and
a fund-raiser though hastily arranged was a first-class event and completely
sold out ( it netted approximately $ 10,000) . But the highlight of Ralph s
visit that summer to the Twin Cities was the
evening speaking engagement setup by the GPM. This event, held in a
classroom auditorium in the University of Minnesota s Law School, attracted
approximately 1,600 people anxious to hear Ralph s
message. People who PAID to hear Ralph, a presidential candidate, speak. The
modest fee of $ 6 ( waived for those unable to afford a ticket) was a first.
Oregon can try to claim credit for coming up with the idea
of a Super Rally, but it was this event in Minneapolis, , again with an
overflow crowd and one that PAID to hear Ralph, that caught the attention of
the boys in Portland. In addition, the event raised over
$ 20,000 between ticket sales and a pass-the-hat fundraising pitch made
during the evening s program. The GPM handled all of the details of this
event from start to finish.
Of course the event that truly showed how well-organized
and capable the GPM is was the Target Center Super Rally, held on Thursday,
, September 23rd, 2000 in Minneapolis. Not only would this
have been a major feat with 6-12 months advance notice, but the GPM pulled
off this event, which drew over 10,000, with a scant 4 weeks to prepare.
Again, the GPM provided a total turn-key operation from
start to finish: media relations/ releases, press kits, organization of
tabling by over 20 social justice groups, arrangements for seating and
speaking ( ( ASL interpreters) to the hearing-impaired community,
tickets printed and distributed as well as a plan for the sale of tickets at
the door, promotional materials printed and distributed state-wide,
organization of a procession of all the GPM locals into the
auditorium, a pre-event fund-raiser in a special Target Center suite, the
GPM provided all the personnel for security for the event, the evening s
script and program, the green rooms for Ralph and Winona and
Granny D, the stage design and set-up, the evening s fundraising pitch that
included passing specially created boxes and the subsequent accounting of
funds, and all of the large number of details that go into
making such an event a success.
Minneapolis Target Center event proved that Portland was not a fluke. . It
also proved what a dedicated, organized, talented and cohesive group of
people make up the Green Party of Minnesota. 21

Socially responsible theater in Minneapolis:
More than 30 live theaters and 100 theater companies give the Twin
Cities more theater seats per capita than any other US city outside New York
City.
The Greater Minneapolis Convention & Visitors Association ( GMCVA) today
announced Arthur From-mer s Budget Travel magazine ( May/ June 2002)
selected Minneapolis provocative small playhouses as
one of the most interesting tourist attraction [ s ] in America. .
In Q& A by Arthur Frommer, the magazine s editors responded to the
following question from a read-er: If you were asked to name the most
interesting tourist attraction in America, what would it be?
Frommer s answer: I would probably choose the provocative small playhouses
operated in such dy-namic theater cities as New York, Minneapolis and
Seattle; they alone could justify the trip. According
to Frommer, the tiny off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway stages are the places
where little--known playwrights present their works and have been the major
means by which controversial ideas and con-
cerns have broken out of the academic world and entered the popular
consciousness.
