In light of the presidential candidates the two-party system has given us, many people are looking for better options. One such option is the Green Party, whose candidates are former Democratic congresswoman Cynthia McKinney for President, and activist Rosa Clemente for Vice President. Here are the 10 Key Values of the Green Party:

1. Grassroots Democracy
2. Social Justice and Equal Opportunity
3. Ecological Wisdom
4. Nonviolence
5. Decentralization
6. Community-based Economics and Economic Justice
7. Feminism and Gender Equity
8. Respect for Diversity
9. Personal and Global Responsibility
10. Future Focus / Sustainability

Please take the time to learn more about McKinney and Clemente, and consider voting for them in November, for the good of our nation. Contrary to what the media is telling us, we have viable choices other than the Democratic and Republican parties.

ETA: I am going to tentatively open comments on this post. I have closed comments on political posts in the recent past, because I am not interested in being regaled ad nauseam with the commentary of people who disagree; as stated before, they have their own blogs where they may do so. This is not the place to assert a vote for other than the Democratic or Republican parties is a vote for the destruction of our country. (That idea is why the two-party system has survived for as long as it has, rather than opening up the political landscape to new ideas.) This is not the place to tell me not to vote Green and to vote for your candidate of choice, instead. Nor is this the place to vent about and disagree with past posts here where comments were disabled. I reserve the right to delete such comments without unscreening them. Commenting here is a privilege, not a right.
