	Ecological Democratic Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ecological Democratic Party (German: Ökologisch-Demokratische Partei, ÖDP) is an environmentalist political party in Germany.
		Though a very small party -- it has not gained seats in a state parliament or in the national parliament -- the ÖDP became notable for its involvement in the opposition to a Czech nuclear reactor in Temelin, across the border from Bavaria.
		It brought suit against a law in North Rhine-Westphalia which requires parties to receive 5% of the vote in order to take their seats, as well as a national law which reserves state financing only for parties that got more than one percent of the votesbnin at least three state elections; both laws were overturned.

	Lumpkin County Democratic Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Democrats are committed to building an America in which no neighborhood or town see joblessness and shuttered businesses commonplace or inevitable, and where no families or young adults surrender their God-given right to work hard and live the American dream.
		Democrats believe communities know best and that they should have the resources and tools they need to act on their decisions, to have the ability to create communities of which families can be proud.
		The Democratic Party is a party of inclusion.

	Ecofascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is used critically from an external source, and somewhat less commonly used from within as a self label, to refer to various white nationalist and third positionist groups who attempt to incorporate environmentalist positions into their ideology.
		A form of admiration for nature was a theme of the German Nazi party and the Wagnerian German romanticism which predated it, and is also a key issue for some modern fascist movements, nazi.org being an especially apt example.
		Gruhl and Icke are both former Green Party leaders in their respective countries although both are persona non grata in those countries' Green Parties today.

	National Democratic Party of Tibet
		The process of democratization was accelerated in 1990 when the assembly was expanded by increasing the membership from 12 to 46 and given independent authority.
		The idea to establish the party was conceived when the Dalai-Lama, while presiding over a Working Committee Meeting of the TYC held in August 1990, counselled that TYC should initiate an ideological based political party.
		The National Democratic Party of Tibet (NDPT) is the first ever democratic political party formed in the history of Tibet.

		Still, the hurdle for prospective parties is high and many of the election hopefuls may yet be ruled ineligible according to rules that require prospective parties to collect signatures of potential voters to show sufficient support.
		Parties such as the Animal Rights Party, the Ecological Democratic Party and the Family Party face an even greater challenge in securing the 5% share of the vote needed to enter the federal parliament.
		Currently, only six parties sit in Germany's Bundestag: The ruling Social Democrats and their junior coalition partner Greens; the main opposition conservative Christian Democratic Union and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union; the pro-business Free Democrats and the ex-communist Party of Democratic Socialism.

		This is not the case today: Those who devote themselves totally or partially to bringing up children in the family often have to accept a decrease in income, higher costs, and, finally, even a reduced pension.
		The commitment against torture and abuse of animals is a part of the ecological movement in its fight against the progressing spoiling and destruction of nature.
		The democratic state has to be in the position to ward off dangers arising from the expansion of or-ganized crime.

		The Green Party is not going dissolve into the Democratic Party; it is time to move beyond this notion and to work toward implementing the progressive agenda.
		There are 10 key values of the Green Party: grassroots democracy, social justice and equal opportunity, ecological wisdom, nonviolence, decentralization, community-based economics and economic justice, feminism and gender equity, respect for diversity, personal and global responsibility, and future focus and sustainability.
		The benefit for the Green and Democratic Parties is that Greens can vote for Green candidates and then, if their candidate does not win 50 percent, they have already chosen the next most progressive candidate as their second choice.

		The candidate of the Constitution Party Michael Peroutka is a Maryland attorney with a long record of socially conservative activism, particularly on behalf of supporting the right to life, the right to keep and bear arms, and other Constitutional causes.
		Some party members feel the Constitution Party’s place on the ballot is a necessity because President Bush has betrayed conservative principles, specifically by expanding the scope of federal government, favoring certain gun laws, support of the United Nations and his stance on abortion.

		For this, and his refusal to carefully analyze the social roots of the ecological crisis in favor of a more metaphysical critique of the state of Germany’s national soul, he is seen by several historians as someone who helped till the soil that would later nurture the rise of the Nazis.
		Given the nature of his ecological politics, it may come as a surprise to many that Gruhl was one of the three most important founders of the German Greens, along with Petra Kelly and Roland Vogt.
		To the Greens credit, Gruhl was unable to move the party in an eco-fascist direction and he left the party in 1983 to form a new group—the Ecological Democratic Party—where he hoped to exert great influence on party’s ideology and program.

		At the beginning of the decade the German Green Party was on the verge of collapse.
		With the collapse of the Eastern command economies, the party's mainstream declared its definitive dismissal of "the left" along with the entire right-left schema.
		Overtures toward the Christian Democrats are still quite controversial within the Greens, but the reason has nothing to do with any principled stand against cooperation with the hopelessly corrupt political establishment.

	RedOrbit - Science - New Ecology Party? That's the Last Thing We Need
		Aidan Rankin's response to the desperate need for a new ecological settlement ('Time for a new Ecology Party', February 2004, and 'Grassroots democracy', May 2005) is a thoroughgoing assault on presently existing 'political ecology'.
		After decades of its under-achievement, despite ever increasing evidence of impending ecological crisis, it would be hard to contradict Rankin's central contention that the Green Party has proved itself to be an inadequate vehicle for the transition to a sustainable society.
		For decades we have had both highly visible ecological protesters and persistent Green politicians, disasters have been highlighted and lobbying has been ceaseless; but all the while the destruction of the earth has accelerated; the solvent effects of capitalism on society have been largely unchecked; and globalisation has marched onwards.

	The Democratic Party
		I have believed in the Democratic Party and worked for it for over 20 years because I truly felt it was the party of the people, the party that cared about the working men and women of this country.
		This is the Democratic party I would like to see emerge, casting aside the rush to judgement political style of the Bush Administration that has harmed our country so deeply the past six years.
		Democrats would be wise to recognize that these problems affect vast numbers of the electorate, including the unaffiliated voters; and address it by working to remove the employment-side drivers of both illegal and legal immigration.

	What is the future of the Green Party?
		Green Party members, including those who are not socialists, should reject Gerritt’s slanders and instead debate for or against ideas, not on the basis of who is proposing them, but on their merits.
		If the Green Party is to grow and be at least partially the electoral expression of the social movements, it will have to learn how to reach out and include a new layer and generation of members who will come in with all sorts of different political ideas.
		The greatest danger facing the Green Party today is not the infusion of new forces from the left, which are small enough, but the colossal power of the Democratic Party to absorb and dismantle fledgling opposition forces.

		Greens support and Democrats and Republicans oppose: national health insurance, doubling the minimum wage, full public financing for candidates, strict controls on genetically modified organisms, the landmine-ban treaty, real action on global warming, a new legal doctrine of workers' rights for Americans, electoral reforms that create the political space for a multiparty democracy.
		Cobb used to be a Democrat himself and was a campaign organizer for Jesse Jackson in 1988 and Jerry Brown in 1992.
		The future of Green power remains a fantasy until the legal barriers that face all minor parties are overcome -- the winner-take-all election system that leads citizens to vote for the lesser of two evils rather than someone who genuinely represents their views.

		Over the past three decades, the moderate, business-oriented party of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Dwight Eisenhower was captured by its extreme right-wing thereby becoming a party dominated by ideologues, increasingly divorced from unmovable facts.

		It may take longer as the die of climate change and ecological deterioration is finally cast and we trigger adverse global changes of which we have been often warned.
