Green Party and Farming

As a member of the green party in Brazil I feel a little upset.
Not with my Party, of course, but with the system as a whole.
They say we are one of the largest democracies in the World. Is that so ? I don't think so.
Our party is a small party, just about a 1/4 of a million members all over the country.
However we are about to lounch a candidate to dispute the next elections for the Presidency.
We want to discuss clean agriculture, social fare trade, technology to produce more and cheaper, biocontrol of plagues, GMOs, and so on.
In a few days we will hold the largest Agriculture Exhibit in the country here in my city (Ribeirao Preto), called Agrishow.
As a member of the party I contacted the Exhibition organizers in order to have our candidate present to let the farmes and press know about our thoughts.
The answer came in a rispid tone, saying that only the Governor, and elected Deputies will have the right to talk or even to step up the stand...and that it is being organised by the Governor's (another party) cabinet.
So, when elections come, they will say, the Green Party is against farmers ! The Green Party this, that... but they never give us a time to listen what we have to say.
