1. Registering Green is a way of bringing about the kind of world you want. Party affiliation is like a vote, only more powerful and cumulative, as it doesn't begin and end with an election. Join the party that stands for your values, instead of one that is the 'lesser of evils.' 2. Registering Green makes a clear and effective political statement. The Green Party of the United States has experienced extraordinary growth nationwide since 1996. The more people who register Green, the stronger the Green Party will be, and the more all parties will take green issues and green voters seriously. 3. Registering Green does not limit your voting options in the general election, and only prevents you from voting Republican in the primary, since (except for them) all other parties in Alaska have open primaries. Since you can vote for any candidate, choosing a party is really about what you believe in -- and making it happen. Party registration is the closest thing to proportional representation we have in this country: it provides a strong indicator of which issues are important to the populace. 4. The Green Party of Alaska, like the Green National Committee, does not accept money from corporations. Individual citizen support and grassroots democracy are the foundation of the Green Party. Big-money interests cannot buy their way into the party. 5. The Green Party represents most Americans' views on the Iraq War, immigration, environmental issues, health care, campaign financing, population growth, corporate power, genetically modified foods, and marijuana use. See The Biggest Media Sin, by Sam Smith of the Progressive Review and read the Green Party Platform. 6. The Green Party is the party of peace. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are supported heavily by the alcohol industry, the weapons industry, the fossil fuels industry, (etc.). Greens are activists for peace, health, justice, and the wellbeing of present and future generations. We take the long view. We are the party of the future—and with a future. Perhaps you are already a Green, but just don't know it. Check out these surveys and see if you agree with the Green Party's stance on topical issues. Make a real difference. Register Green today!
