[Lnc-business] Why are there two Green Parties?

[Norm Olsen]

I believe our by-laws are very clear as what we are supposed to be when we
grow up:

 

ARTICLE 3: PURPOSES

The Party is organized to implement and give voice to the principles
embodied in the Statement of

Principles by:

1.       functioning as a libertarian political entity separate and distinct
from all other political parties or movements;

2.       moving public policy in a libertarian direction by building a
political party that elects Libertarians to public office;

3.       chartering affiliate parties throughout the United States and
promoting their growth and activities;

4.       nominating candidates for President and Vice-President of the
United States, and

5.       supporting Party and affiliate party candidates for political
office; and,

6.       entering into public information activities.

Those of you that follow the Green Party already know about this.


I had a vague idea that there were a few state Green Parties that were not
part of the National Green Party.  But - I had no idea how deep that schism
was until I read this web page:

 

    https://www.greenparty.org/why.php

 

 

I think LNC members should read that web page, since it shows what the
Libertarian Party can turn into if we can't decide what we want to be when
we grow up.
