Greens stand for Liberty in by election


Shan Oakes will stand for the Green Party against David Davis in the Haltemprice and Howden by-election. She is one of the founders of www.voice-international.net/, an organisation working to promote sustainability through education, and Chair of the Trustees of the Development Education Centre (Hull), a registered charity. She is married with 2 sons.

She is also a candidate for Yorkshire and Humber Green Party for the European Parliament Elections in 2009. Join her Facebook group at www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=33635377720.

Check out Shan’s blog http://shanoakes.blogspot.com, where she says:
I'm thrilled to announce that today the national party gave the go-ahead to us standing in Haltemprice and Howden, after I was selected last night by the local party to contest the seat against the Conservatives' David Davis on July 10th.
That's 16 days time!

Our constituency-wide leaflet is due to go to the printers tomorrow, and we're starting campaigning in earnest. Any offers of campaigning help can be directed to Martin Dean at sokuto12 'at' sokuto12.karoo.co.uk
I'm looking forward to highlighting the Tories' hypocrisy on civil liberties.
