LeAlan Jones, running for the US Senate in Illinois, is drawing equal support from McCain and Obama voters, challenging the common belief that Greens draw votes solely from the left and potentially spoil for Democrats.

Matt Lavery, chair of the Green Senatorial Campaign Committee said:

Illinois voters have figured out that the Green Party, not the Tea Party, represents the real alternative to business-as-usual two-party politics.

  1. I Hope I get this correct. The Green Party is based on the principles of Green politics, a political ideology which places importance on ecological and environmentalist issues, while trying to achieve these goals through broad-media-based, grassroots, participatory democracy and decisions made in consensus. Beyond the mere advocacy of environmental causes, they also advocate non-violence and peace, and social and civic liberties. The philosophy is that these issues are inherently related to ecological, social, and human bodily health.
    What are the “Four Pillars of the Green Party”? I was told this once, can you help?
    Thank You – Cynthia G
