homeowner about a gas leak down the street. While he distracts the homeowner at the

Nearly 30% of our bee population, per year, has been lost to so-called
colony collapse since 2006.

A scientific study released last week by the European Food Safety
Authority (EFSA), has for the first time labeled the pesticide
clothianidin as an "unacceptable" danger to bees.

Scientists believe clothianidin is at least partially to

Here is the law that governs the process we will follow to qualify the Montana Green Party for the 2014 election:

On November 7, 2012, I emailed a request for an approved petition-signature form from Alan Miller at Helena office of the Montana Sec. of State. It will take time for this request to be processed due to several legal questions about proper procedure and a new signature deadline. The old (March) deadline statute was ruled unconstitutional by a federal district court judge. Anyone interested in gathering signatures, please contact me at wildtr@imt.net. We will need to gather 5,000 signatures to restore statewide ballot status for 2014. Go Greens!
