I voted for Kerry for President, but this year I also registered as a member of the Green Party. They recently published a funny ad in the New York Times that pretty much sums up why I joined (although the first five issues they list are of much greater concern to me than the last two). The ad is on the home page of their web site right now, but I don't know how long it will be there.

I know some people say that there will never be viable alternative political parties in the US. They're probably right, but I just can't bring myself to act accordingly.

I've been registered Green for several years. I was registered Green while working for the DNC!

Candidate selection in primaries is a joke as far as I'm concerned, so I don't care that I didn't "help to decide" who would run against Bush.

I also don't care that a Green candidate has no chance at a national office and almost no chance at a state-wide office in California. Just by upping the numbers of registered voters that aren't D or R is a good thing.

I didn't know you were registered Green. Cool!
