A2D -Unite and support the Green Party

A2D – Agree to Disagree. This is the only way to fight corporate money and power.  United we stand, divided we are irrelevant.  OK, this may sound a bit non-local or non-grassroots, but it’s just a temporary solution.  For too long, those in power have been dividing people in America, creating false disputes, kind of like sports team rivalries, completely irrelevant issues that divide Americans.

Greens all support the same Ten Key Values, and are on the same page when it comes to the Four Pillars.  We all have big hopes for America returning to an egalitarian, Constitutional democracy, by the people, for the people.

However, there seem to be as many ways of implementing the Ten Key Values as there are people in the Green Party.

As a party, it would be useful at this juncture to unify as one strong force and support the majority vote on whatever strategy is at issue, no matter what issue, or how much we disagree with the specific approach.

Remember, we’re all on the same side and have similar hopes for a better US of A. As I see it, this is the only way to garner enough support for the Green Party to gain some prominance. (Unless of course, we reach a tipping point and there’s an inlux of hundreds of thousands of members.)

We can temporarily – just for a little while – agree to disagree on the precise method of addressing an issue, until the Green Party is an established party in every state and has a presence in the US Congress. Then and only then, we can reconsider whether it’s okay to start pulling the party into different directions with different strategies and see what happens.

Take the pledge, and A2D, for the benefit of the Green Party

==> A2D PLEDGE:

1. I am a member of the Green Party and fully support the Ten Key Values.

2. I will fully participate in all debates and present all information and strategy available to me on any particular issue.

3. Until the Green Party has representation in the US Congress or the White House, I pleadge and agree to fully support the majority vote decision on any candidate, strategy or position.

4. If in good conscience, I am unable or unwilling to actively, financially or vocally support the majority decision, I will remain supportively silent; however, I will still assist and provide guidance directly to organizational officers via email or written correspondence, advising them of the reasons for my supportive silence and providing constructive assistance.

5. United we stand, by the people, for the people.
