Oh for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see.

Although I disagree about Cynthia McKinney.

She could have been a spectacular presidential candidate.

Except that her campaign was used simply as a way to attack Ralph Nader, stop him from getting the GP endorsement.

After that happened, the National GP effectively abandoned her campaign. In fact those of us who wanted to build an actual campaign were effectively kicked off of her campaign.

Sad and horrifyingly true. Based on personal experience.

The Green Party died in 2004, when they nominated Cobb. Then reduced itself to a laughing-stock by nominating McKinney.

I disaffiliated myself shortly after that.

Quite frankly, anyone with the sense that God granted to turnips have come to the conclusion as well.

” We found out later that the VA Indy Greens are, to be polite, well a little off.

As for our communications with other state parties, well it is in the early stages.

It is my own personal opinion that the VA Indy Greens are wack jobs.”

Came to the same conclusion months ago ……

I know. I caught that myself. I have been trying to contact our web person and have that corrected.

He is a former Minnesota Independence Party person had been contacting them. We found out later that the VA Indy Greens are, to be polite, well a little off.

We REALLY need to have that rectified PDQ.

As for our communications with other state parties, well it is in the early stages. So far we have agreed to keep each state with it’s own identity. We are working on regional conferences right now.

The REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN comes from the inspiration of Jessie Ventura’s book, DONT START THE REVOLUTION WITHOUT ME.

Our party Chair, Pam Ellison was one of the chief advisors for Governor Ventura.

It is my own personal opinion that the VA Indy Greens are wack jobs.

We are willing to talk to any and all who are serious about building an alternative to the two party system. Our perspective is progressive, while those looking past the left wing/ right wing paradigm are welcome. We stand for Single payer-End the Wars-Clean Elections.

We are also currently in constant communications with some of those former Nader Greens. The ones who as Audrey from VA and Greg Gerritt and others called “destructo-greens.”

Newsflash-We ain’t greens no more.

We are willing to talk to any and all who are SERIOUS in building an alternative to the pro-war, corporate corrupted two party system..

Onwards, upwards, organize.

Hope that helped

In your comments it seems to me that you hold the Independent Greens of VA in low reguards a veiw shared by many including myself. That is why I was suprised when I looked at the Minnesota Open Progressive website and noticed that in a post “THE REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN!” the party states that it has been talking to the Independent Green Party with the purpose of coordinating a national movement. While I know ‘talking’ covers abroud spectrum and you are but a part (be it a leader) of a larger entity so your views may differ from the parties occasionally, I was wondering if you could elaborate on these communications?

Also what is your personal view and opinion of the Independent Greens of VA?

And since Indy Greens are part of the national Independence Party does this meen that the Minnesota Open Progressives are reaching out to them as well? Would an alliance with that organization be out of the question?

thanks in advance for your time reguarding my questions. My inquisitive mind just wants to know more.

Being worked on, as we speak.

I think that the National GP should remain though.

That way they can no longer get in the way of moving forward.

Seriously.

Long live the National Green Party. May it’s inaction and obscurity continue to keep those people out of our hair.

//:-D>———-

For the record, I was booted off of the GP Delegates list serve for responding to then Delegate LaMarche and one of her mean spirited, vindictive screeds by saying “Delegate LaMarche, coming from you, that is rich.”

Seriously. Actually, it was the excuse that was used to ban me. Most of the other dissenters had already been purged.

So obviously I found this article to be amusing.

Hope I am not coming off as a troll.

Blame Brittney

LOL

Green Party’s Pat LaMarche has great column..

Greens can disagree…comes as shock to two larger Parties.
