WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Green Party of the United States will offer a sharp rebuttal to President Bush's January 31 State of the Union address and also to the Democratic Party's responses to the President's speech.

Representatives of the Green Party will emphasize the party's demands to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq immediately and for an investigation and impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

Greens will also discuss the failed Medicare prescription drug bill, and will present their ideas about how to address the need for single-payer National Health Insurance, energy policy, and global warming.

The rebuttals will be available to the media in the form of video downloads placed on the home page of the Green Party's web site <http://www.gp.org>.

The Green Party will also send (by overnight mail) a disc of the rebuttals to any member of the media who requests it. The party will issue an advisory early next week announcing that the video downloads and disc are available.

The Green Party encourages reporters to contact and interview Green candidates, officeholders, and party leaders for Green responses to Mr. Bush's speech and to the Democrats' rebuttal. See the list of Greens across the U.S. who are available for interview, appended below.
