Why
Do We Need A Green Party?
-
Because the children’s
future depends on it.
-
Because the future
of life itself depends on it.
-
Because we have
a RIGHT to clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean food and clean politics.
-
Because public
forests and the public airwaves should serve people and future generations,
not the profits of corporations.
-
Because tripling
the number of Georgians imprisoned at taxpayer’s expense has not made our
communities safer.
-
Because spending
half of our federal tax dollars on preparations for war has not made us
more secure.
-
Because neither
race baiting nor ignoring racism has saved our jobs or improved our wages
or working conditions.
-
Because the globe
is warming, the seas are rising, the polar caps are melting and hundreds
of species become extinct every month.
-
Because the state
DOT wants to spend $5+ Billion on a second perimeter highway while a thousand
people die annually from air pollution-related diseases in metro Atlanta
alone.
-
Because we lose
dozens of acres of forests in the metro Atlanta area every day while chip
mills are decimating southern native forests.
-
Because DuPont
wants to either mine the Okeefenokee Swamp or have the public pay it $90
million not to.
-
Because ending
welfare as we know it doesn’t seem to deal with the subsidies benefiting
corporations that pay wages that have families in poverty.
-
Because the nuclear
industry wants to ship radioactive wastes on the rails and highways of
Georgia to dump it on Native lands out West.
-
Because instead
of a peace dividend, women are raped every six minutes in the midst of
an ongoing reliance on impoverishing militarism, including at least two
Georgia bases with nuclear weapons.
-
Because the madness
must stop.
-
Because peace
and Justice are possible in our lifetimes.
Why
Should I Join?
If you agree
that we need a Green Party, then we hope you will support the work we do
with your membership, financial contributions and volunteer energy. It
takes alot of people to Party. Your membership supports the work we do
to provide an electoral alternative to the politics-as-usual that has disenfranchised
so many and driven us from the polls - for lack of candidates worthy of
our votes.
