December 5th, 2010 · 12 Comments

Thanks to Green Party Watch for the tip. At GPW, there are excerpts about the three, green women mentioned in the story.

At Newsweek, there is a story with title and tag-lines: “Empowering Women and Saving the Environment. Mothering the Earth. Grassroots activists are showing women how to clean up the environment while empowering themselves.”

The story has interviews with the following Green Party leaders:  Renate Künast who is a member of the German Green Party and a high-profile German politician; Kenya’s Wangari Maathai who is a co-founder of the Green Belt Movement and 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner; and, Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada.

    The founders of the Flying Saucer Party look forward to working with the Green “leaders”.

    I am sure that a international Green Parliament elected them as leaders.

    Well, the national elected USA Parliament, Inc. has elected MMP Lloyd Llewellyn [Flying Saucer] as a democratically legitimately elected leader.

    Check out the Flying Sauce Party leader MMP Lloyd Lewellyn’s [Flying Saucer] position he holds in the Central California Mini-state Parliament.
    http://www.usparliament.org/ss11-6.htm

    He voted for Constitution and American Independent Party members for the executive.

    The Flying Saucer Party is from the United States of America and the we look forward to working with all Green people within the US of America under the All Party System, with votes cast as proof.

    We welcome your name and your participation under 1/100ths, or pure proportional representation (PR).

    There are many openings, many seats on all levels, and many ways to integrate, with both Green people, like minded and with completely different people from you, under 1/100ths such as the Flying Saucers. We too have proposals for undocumented aliens and proportional representation in non-terrestrial civilizations.

    We eagerly await your response, and we welcome you as international contacts to the USA Parliament’s Foreign Ministry if you are not a U.S. citizen.

    The Green Party – Germany – has a nice new web page summary of German Green Party Mayors.

    Especially attractive with the City Hall photo from my university Freiburg.

    Dieter Salomon, Green Party, is the mayor in Freiburg since 2002. http://www.gruene.de/30-gruene-jahre/kommunalpolitik.html
