Here's their website . . . http://www.gp.org/ What are your thoughts on the party. Make sure your response is substantiated. Don't just come in here with that ol' "Tree Hugger" shit.
A ballot box is not freedom, power corrupts, government has no morality, and money makes the world go round as long as money is around. You want to change your world? Then that link isnt what you want. These are a start in the right direction: There are plenty more if you need some...
I've been a Green for six years. Basically for their stance on reigning in Corporate excesses, economic as well as environmental. Nader forced companies to make your vehicles and other products and workplaces safer. I support his views. That's enough of a reason for me to support them.
Everything I've seen made me think that Nadar & the Green Party were only together for the 2000 election and parted ways right after it. The Green Party running Nadar instead of supporting Al Gore is why we now have Bush & Chaney & Iraq War, etc. The Alabama Green Party seems to be dead. Here's their "site": http://www.alabamagreenparty.org/ You'll notice there's been no entry on it since December, 2004. Peace, poor_old_dad
The Green Party is very active in California. The reason we have Bush right now has more to do with Gore and Bushes manipulation of the counting after the election, then the right of Americans to vote for a third party. http://www.gp.org/organize/spoiled.html
Basically I think the USA needs the green party right now, but they should learn from the British Green Party. Over here what has happened is that the greens forced issues to the top of the agenda and that took 20 years to do. The people actually started siding with them but inevitably the other parties adopted those policies while at the same time laughing at the green party to force the greens opinion poll ratings down then the major parties took those policies to the electorate. Some may say thats a good thing. And to a certain extent it is except that you find a watered down version of what the greens want - also the big parties then get the credit and everyone - like you say just calls the greens "tree huggers" and "loonies" its not right ! The media - love it when someone who looks like they smoke dope and are in their teens or 20's is protesting - it enables them to patronise the person thereby laugh at the arguments "he'll grow up one day and get a job and things wont look quite so bad - so over to you Jan, 'hmm I dont know about that shirt he was wearing - maybe he could take it to mom for a wash - heres the weather!"" is the general attitude "we all grow up one day" - whereas infact they are presenting policies that only call for responsible industry and a care fr nature Now we have green policies that aim to reduce emmissions of CO2 by 50% over 30 years but with the governments admissions that they need a miracle to achieve that with present policy. Thats a failing of the big parties - not a failing of green policy The republicans spend 10's (if not 100's) of millions to laugh down or reason down or bludgeon the idea of a green policy that works and they are in denial over global climate conditions - they are rank stupid liars This shows the extent they use the media to do it - but people arent that stupid - read the comments http://thinkprogress.org/2006/05/29/global-warming-bogus/ this is a sample this link is basically showing the truth as the IPCC (a highly independent body of scientific knowledge) see it http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686
The Green Party is a sham. It has less relevance as a political party than it does a global environmental movement fronted by the globalist UN, in an attempt to push for more sovereignty-destroying international laws and globalist control. Anyone who thinks global warming is the result of humans had ought to do some homework and become informed. Stop allowing yourselves to be used like a bunch of patsies. The Green movement is a subversive one, as are all popular movements given to the people from on high to follow, never asking any real questions about those they have sworn allegience with.
I never get why you americans are so precious about the borders and national sovereignty thing when all that country does is fuckin poke their nose into other peoples affairs and start trouble all over the fuckin world. What you say would make more sense if y'all just shit on your own doorstep but to say this stuff when over the past 5 decades the usa has done nothing but cause triuble and cause more pollution than anyonelse is ludicrous, pollution dont have borders but most of it starts in the usa Its you that needs the education if you and the other good old boys took your heads from where the sun dont shine you'd actually listen to reason from scientists who care more about science than sucking a polititians dick for money. Then you might learn exactly why 99.99% of all the worlds scientists form a consensus on the issue against the republican party that seems to spend hundreds of millions of dollars keeping the USA with its collective heads firmly up their arses - join the fucking world why dontcha - just actually read something informative for a change Subversive to whom exactly ? to the republican party - no its the oil billionaires that are the ecology perverts and subversives its they who are in denial and they who are ruining this planet for money. Well they sure asked more questions than you seem to have done Maybe what this is about is because you actually believe you got a god given right to a fat ass and a big car and are just too greedy and selfish to contemplate the fact that in order to be responsible you need to pollute less - consume less and give more and tell your politicians to create less war in other peoples countries
Sentient - How old are you? If you're under 18 then I suppose your ignorance is understandable. First of all, regarding sovereignty... I am NOT a patriotic person by any means, but there is a move on to unite the world under a one world fascistic government. Either you support globalism or you don't. I don't because I have done enough reading to know what it entails. If you want to know the truth about global warming, you need to stop reading ghostwritten Al Gore books. There is no proof whatsoever that humans are the primary cause of global warming, and all real scientific research points to global warming being cyclical in nature. I won't get into the aerial spraying which is also contributing to the heating up of our atmosphere. SO, the point being, I am not denying global warming exists. You have probably never even taken the time to ask yourself who is funding these environmental organizations which are pushing this nonsense, which by the way plays right into the hands of the global Elite... or what their agenda is. People just join these groups because at face value it seems like a good cause, but they never ask any questions about these organizations themselves.
The Green Party's agenda is not specifically environmental. In fact that is only a small portion of it. It was founded to counteract the excesses of corporate greed and to protect the average citizen from political corruption and collusion with monied interests.
Well you would hardly call "new scientist " a government funded or subversive source yet they commission scientists to undertake studies into such issues as global warming - they have no affiliations whatsover and their committment is to science not politics. Their findings are that manmade pollution is a major factor in the scale of the proplem and even though the evidence suggests there is a cyclic nature to be taken account of - its scale and velocity is such that we are living in times of unprecedented global warming http://environment.newscientist.com/channel/earth/climate-change .
