Green Party successes!
Here are two recent stories via Common Dreams about a green elected mayor in NY and what Maine's only green rep. is doing to get stuff done:
["'Green' Candidate Wins N.Y. Mayor Race"]
["A Party of One in Maine"]
I love the democrats in Maine. 'A green won? Sh*t, we'll have to redistrict him out!' Typical. Even when you challenge the status quo - and win - they will always be out to get you. In West's case, four times is a charm. Maybe there is hope for all the rest of us losers out here.
