2. If you agree with what the Green Party is trying to do, then right now changing your party affiliation is more important than voting. It's a paradigm switch. When you vote, your vote disappears right after the election. Party affiliation is lasting and cumulative.

3. As more people register with the Green Party, the media and other political parties will have to stop marginalizing the Green Party and take us and the issues we raise more seriously. The state board of elections puts out a report each year of how many are registered with each party for all to see. It's like a continuous vote or snapshot of public opinion. Party affiliation is the closest thing we have to proportional representation in the United States.

4. As a practical matter, this can give Green Party activists lists of people who can help us get GP candidates on the ballot by signing petitions.

5. Another practical matter: As the number of registered Greens grow, it should become easier to recruit candidates.

I'm convinced! Take me back to the Green Affiliation page!
