Maine needs tax reform, jobs, and universal healthcare. Mainers need small business and educational opportunities. One in ten Mainers is below the official poverty line, and too many of us are one serious illness away from losing our homes and our savings. How did we get to this place? Is this the world we want for ourselves, our neighbors, and our children?
Cast Your Vote for Pat, then Join Us to Celebrate
Please join Pat LaMarche along with her campaign staff and supporters — and musical guest Dave Wooley — to celebrate the LaMarche Primary Victory and kick off the general election campaign for Maine's next governor. The event honors our wonderful, dedicated volunteers who have pitched in from one end of the state to the other. It will be held at the Mesa Verde Mexican Restaurant, 618 Congress Street in Portland. People will start gathering around 6:00 pm, and with Dave Wooley present, a good time should be had by all. 
LaMarche Delivers Supplies for Homeless Infants to Local Shelter
Pat LaMarche asked members of the Maine Green Independent Party to bring baby items for homeless infants to the party's May convention in Portland where she delivered the keynote address. On May 29, she delivered these much-needed baby supplies — including diapers, food, baby wipes and hand-knitted caps — to the Bread of Life Shelter, which provides housing for approximately 150 children each year. 
State's Mental Health Plan: "Care 'Less' Pay More"
June 7, 2006: Gubernatorial candidate Pat LaMarche today called the current administration's plan to privatize mental health services for the poor "discriminatory and dangerous." "The administration's mental health plan is going to hurt families, communities, children, the elderly, and the most vulnerable among us," said LaMarche. 
"Special Delivery" from Pat LaMarche
May 30, 2006: "Babies living in poverty without a roof over their heads is a tragedy. I hope all Mainers will join me in helping make life a little bit easier for these little ones," said LaMarche.

Greens Gather, Hear LaMarche Decry Wasteful Spending
Excerpt: "Gubernatorial candidate Pat LaMarche took aim at wasteful spending in Augusta, and Green Independent Party members voted in favor of an internal shake-up at the party's annual convention. The two-day event, held at the Center for Cultural Exchange in Portland, ended on Saturday afternoon." 
Politics Meets "The Dating Game"
Excerpt: "The event centered around 'Who Wants to be a Governor?' — a forum modeled after 'The Dating Game.' The winner would be the gubernatorial candidate who best represented the interests of young voters. LaMarche was the audience's clear choice."

LaMarche Qualifies for Matching Funds
Excerpt: "Pat LaMarche, Green Party candidate for Governor of Maine, has submitted the 2,500+ small contributions, and the corresponding paperwork, to receive $1,400,000 in public funding. This is in accordance with Maine’s "clean elections" system, which does not discriminate for or against anyone because of political party affiliation."

Few Incumbents Seem to Realize the Economic Crisis We're In
Excerpt: "It's time we got a legislature and a governor who's willing to reform, rather than react. Who are willing to be leaders, rather than lackadaisical. Who are willing to throw themselves into the fray, rather than simply follow. In short, we desperately need profound change in Augusta in every part of government, because few incumbents seem to realize the economic crisis we're in."
