The Green Party is an alternative to the Democrats and Republicans. The Green Party's values are: non-violence; grassroots democracy; social and economic justice; and ecological wisdom. In New York, voters can enroll in the Green Party by checking off the "other" box on a voter registration form, and writing in the word "Green."
Local greens designed the Bring Home Our Troops Poster Contest as a way to encourage people to share a vision of peace.
Background:

In addition, Kimberly Wilder, in her own personal capacity, has decided enough is enough on the nonsense of the under counting of the D.C. rally and march (we're in full agreement).
Please, please, do contact the New York Times. There are too many people who speant too much time, energy and money going to D.C., to let the Times get off easy on this one:
It appears that the New York Times got the talking points, or marching orders, or whatever, from the gentlemen's agreement in D.C.
Instead of all those citizens and activists going to D.C. to demand pulling out of Iraq, the New York Times says the focus was against the surge. How did the The Times get that? Did they do a sign survey? The people who I know who went to D.C. want an end to war, now, immediately.
That's her opening. You can read more and other pieces by Wilder at her website On The Wilder Side.
