Obama continues many of the Bush policies, from opposing equal marriage rights to keeping White House visitor's logs from the American people.

The United States, Mexico and Canada are the target of new plans to create one huge market in North America.

Most of us don’t vote. I believe most of us don’t trust politicians. Many of us believe that politics is not about public service. Many of us have decided that politics is about getting power and influence, and using it for personal gain. All of us have seen politicians, Democrat and Republican ...

Many Greens and others outside the mainstream of political or cultural life will complain that access to the media is denied us. The truth is, we don't have enough cash to pay professionals to sell our story to the American people. We must do it ourselves.
This was the case for the conservative...

Now that the Democrats have taken a majority of seats in Congress, the folks who hope for a new day, a bright day, a day of uncompromising calls for America to stand for Justice, Compassion, Responsibility and Independence will have their hearts torn out and stomped on yet again by the Democratic Pa...

“I can’t support the Green Party because the Green Party is pacifist.” When I saw those words I knew I had done a poor job of explaining.
It is essential that we develop effective alternatives to society’s current patterns of violence. We will work to demilitarize, and eliminate weapons of mass...

I am 47 years old, and if you are anywhere close to my age you know that certain promises were made and not kept. Like flying cars. Every carport was going to have one in the future...the future we are living now! Electricity from nuclear power that was so cheap to produce that it wouldn’t pay to...
