I DO support the Green Party!
Advertisements [?]
In fact, I support every "Third Party." The non-mainstream parties play a very important role in our representative democracy- they allow people to more concisely voice their opinion. What is a political party, anyway? A political party is a group of people with similar political views. The goal of a political party is to get candidates elected. So go ahead, join a "third party." I salute you for standing by all of your principles!

And for those of you who say that the Green party killed the 2000 or 2004 elections: The green party didn't have a statistically significant vote in any state that would've changed the election. And Ralph Nader... Didn't even run as the Green Party candidate in 2004.

Do you want to know why people support parties like the Green Party? Because small parties aren't afraid to voice their opinions. Only one Democrat in congress was man enough to stand up and vote against the PATRIOT act when it came out- Russ Feingold. He was, in fact, the ONLY PERSON to vote against it- as well as one of the few (if not the only one) who read the whole thing.

The Green Party isn't afraid to voice it's support of choice or gay marriage. They don't back down on environmental or privacy issues. Third parties are a great alternative, and they make our country what it is.
