	Four Pillars of the Green Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The four pillars define a Green Party as a political movement that inherits its philosophy from four predecessors, the peace movement, the civil rights movement, the environmental movement, and the labour movement.
		The four pillars were originally defined by European Green Parties, from the foundation of the German Green Party in 1979-1980, and later adopted by the U.S. Green Party.
		Green Parties are almost universally egalitarian in their outlook, seeing that great disparities in wealth or influence are caused by the perversion of or total lack of social instituions that prevent the strong from plundering the weak.

	Green Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Greens emphasize decentralization and local autonomy, in keeping with the Green commitment to non-hierarchical participatory democracy, so it is perhaps not surprising that the strength of the Green Party does not derive from a central national organization.
		Green and Growing's 158 signatories declared that "We think it essential to build a vigorous presidential campaign," citing as their chief reasons the need to gain ballot access for the Green Party, to define the Greens as an independent party, and the failures of the Democrats on issues of foreign and domestic policy.
		In the 2004 presidential election, the candidate of the Green Party of the United States for President was lawyer David Cobb of Texas, and its candidate for vice-president was labor activist Pat LaMarche of Maine.

	Worldwide green parties Information - TextSheet.com
		Green Parties are part of, but do not exclusively represent, a larger political movement to reform human governance to better fit the constraints of the biosphere -- usually called the Green movement to contrast it from the electoral participation of the legally-registered Parties.
		Many people also confuse Green Parties with Greenpeace, a global NGO prominent in the ecology movement, which was founded in the 1970s as the green parties and shares some green goals and values, but does work with different methods and isn't organized as a political party.
		Green Parties are often formed in a given jurisdiction by a coalition of scientific ecologists, community environmentalists and local (or national) leftist groups or groups concerned with peace or citizens rights.

		The FEC-recognized national committee of the party, organizationally analogous to the Republican or Democratic National Committees, is the Green Party of the United States (although there remains also a mostly-defunct separate Green national political organization, the Greens/Green Party USA).
		On June 26, the Green Party of the United States convention rejected the idea of an endorsement for Nader and chose Cobb as its presidential candidate, with Pat LaMarche of Maine as the candidate for Vice-President.
		Although many Green Party members were upset and some expressed "embarrassment" that Nader was not the party's 2004 candidate, others pointed out that the presidential contest should not be the focus of a grassroots party that emphasizes organizing at the local level.

	The Green Future of Politics
		Anti-corporate power, the signature issue of the Green Party's Nader 2000 campaign, will continue to galvanize popular support for the 2001 local elections, the 2002 Congressional elections, and the 2004 presidential election.
		Greens need a signature issue for something, too, an original position beyond the usual left laundry list, even beyond left and right altogether, letting a critical mass rally around, a position that will fly well in the cities and counties, since all politics is local, as are next year's elections.
		By invest ing their current political capital in the call for sharing natural rents and not taxing useful effort, the Green movement in America could grow to replace the mainstream and within a few election cycles build the world we all want.

	Grassroots democracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Grassroots democracy is a political process which is driven by groups of ordinary citizens, as opposed to larger organisations or wealthy individuals with concentrated vested interests in particular policies.
		Grassroots democracy is a guiding principle of green parties worldwide (it was one of the Four Pillars of the Green Party first formulated in Europe which eventually spread to the worldwide 'big G' Green parties).
		In daily political practice the term usually refers to frequent town meetings, consensus policy development, consensus decision making, and electoral reform, all of which is intended to make politicians more responsible to their constituents, at least, and (in the more literal Green conception of the idea) to living things and local habitats in general.

	Environmental Ethics
		The rise of environmental or ‘green’ parties in Europe in the 1980s was accompanied by almost immediate schisms between groups known as ‘realists’ versus ‘fundamentalists’ (see Dobson 1992).
		For instance, the male may be said to excel in rationality over the emotional female; the active Cartesian mind, being free from physical constrains, may be seen as superior to the mechanical passive body; the civilized and progressive human culture may be deemed superior to the primitive nonhuman nature.
		The insight of feminism, however, is not just that the dominating party often falsely sees the dominated party as lacking (or possessing) the allegedly superior (or inferior) qualities.
