As Ralph Nader said in the opening of his speech at the Green Party�s national convention in Denver, Colorado, on June 25, 2000:
"On behalf of all Americans who seek a new direction, who yearn for a new birth of freedom to build the just society, who see justice as the great work of human beings on Earth, who understand that community and human fulfillment are mutually reinforcing, who respect the urgent necessity to wage peace, to protect the environment, to end poverty and to preserve values of the spirit for future generations, who wish to build a deep democracy by working hard for a regenerative progressive politics, as if people mattered - to all these citizens and the Green vanguard, I welcome and am honored to accept the Green Party nomination for President of the United States."
Ralph said it all in that speech. Many of us are tired of the same old politics and have joined the Green Party in an attempt to work towards a more just society. We are forming groups all over the country and setting about discussing what we want the future of our party and country to be. If you are tired of seeing progressive issues such as Ralph spoke to during his presidential bid being paid lipservice by the republicrat/dempublicain partys, join a Green group and find your voice!

For those that insist that Ralph's presidential bid was the cause of G'dubya's win, it turns out that this outcome was predicted over 400 years ago.
