As an officer in my local Green Party, I'd like to respond by
saying we need a Green MOVEMENT, with people of all
and no parties working together. Enough of the divisive 
strategy arguments, each person must find a path that suits
them. If its the Green Party, welcome:)

I'd like to hear some opinions please, on the following:

While attending the "One Earth" conference at the Omega institute 
recently, David Orr challenged us all to get involved politically, to 
make use of our (still functioning) democratic institutions to "start 
attending those long, impossibly boring meetings" and make our voices 
heard.

In response to this, a member of the audience got up and asked us all 
why we weren't all active members of the Green Party - imperfect as it

may be, she said, here is an up and running institution ready for our 
inputs.......

I have been printing out their material all morning and I like what I'm

seeing.

How about the rest of you ? WHy aren't we taking this forward into the

political realm and why not use the Green Party to do it ?

Claude
