| Description | Their U.S. Senate candidate called for President Bush's impeachment.
Their candidate for governor said that as the state's commander in chief, he would pull Minnesota National Guard troops out of Iraq.
And their attorney general candidate isn't a lawyer, but he released a new folk-blues CD this week.
They are the Green Party of Minnesota, and they introduced their 2006 ticket Wednesday during a news conference on the Capitol steps.
Michael Cavlan, a registered nurse and peace activist from Minneapolis, is the party's endorsed candidate for the U.S. Senate. Saying that "Bush knowingly lied about his reasons for going to war," Cavlan not only advocated impeachment but also backed immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
The party's candidate for governor in 1998 and 2002, Ken Pentel, is running for the office again this year. He is an environmental activist and political organizer from St. Paul.
