Why we need a Georgia Green Party NOW . . . 

• 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 federal tax dollars on preparations for war does not make us more secure. 
• Because neither race baiting nor ignoring racism has saved our jobs, 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 1,000 people die annually from polluted air 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 Du Pont 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.
