It's easy to feel hopeless about American politics. In fact, its hard not to be cynical when we see the hypocrisy and corruption which has pervaded our political system. The major parties blame each other, while the corporate media excludes alternative opinions, as more and more honest citizens say, "a pox on both your houses" and turn away in disgust.
More than 1000 of our neighbors have already registered Green in Baltimore County-- we know there is a huge untapped reservoir of good will in America-- millions1 of citizens who would love to vote if only they thought it mattered who was elected.2 If only there was a candidate or a party that would really represent the best interests of the nation, the whole nation, and improve the lives of the people, all the people, and especially their fellow citizens who live in despair.3
The members of the Baltimore Country Green party are doing our part to revitalize American politics, in order to make a more just and equitable society. We have gotten off our couches, turned off the TV, and rolled up our sleeves. We are organizing like- minded citizens who feel, like us, that enough is enough. We own the airways; elected officials work for us. We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore.
If you feel the same way, please learn more about us, see what we've been doing in Baltimore County, learn about our party's platform, and help us to turn America into the land of peace and justice we all want it to be.
2A majority of the electorate did not vote in the 1996 presidential elections, and it was only the influx of new Green voters that raised the percentage in the 2000 presidential elections to (barely) over 50%.
3For example, one out of five children in America live in poverty, and this after the decade of the greatest economic expansion in our nation's history.
