African-Americans, full gay rights, full funding for
Charity Hospital, and developing sustainable/renewable
energy.

WHERE: Sec. of State Elections Division: 8549 United
Plaza Boulevard, Baton Rouge, LA 70809. This is off
Essen just south of the I-12; plenty of parking
available.

Representatives from the Green Party of Louisiana will
be available for comment immediately following the
filing.
