One Candidate for Green Party Presidential Nomination is Collecting Signatures

Although perhaps ten individuals have said they want the Green Party presidential nomination next year, only one of them, as far as is known, has been circulating a petition to get the party on the ballot. Gail Parker, of Virginia, has been petitioning in Arkansas to help the Green Party’s petition drive there, and in those two days has collected 160 signatures.

One Candidate for Green Party Presidential Nomination is Collecting Signatures — No Comments

  1. Gail Parker is a Green about as much as Newt Gingrich is a socialist, and has as much chance of getting the GPUS nomination as he does of getting the Republican nomination.

  2. Yes, a long term belt way type and Virginia ‘conservative’ [and a ‘Moderate’ else where], Gail is concerned about the ‘socialist’ slant [truly laughable out side the USA, as the 21st Century fascist global empire] and gross disorganization of the environmental movement. Like Citizens For A Better Veterans Home, gail really likes the three bladed wind mill as a 21st Century Peace Symbol. She is also going to do work in Oklahoma. [Not verified] OKIES (OKlahomans for Ballot Access} is going to be present in federal court on Monday in OKC and she might join them!

  3. Mrs. Parker did ran a strong race for U.S. Senate in 2006 in Virginia.

    Now focused on getting the Green Party on the ballot in 50 states and the district of columbia.

    She has called for every green seeking the nomination to get out now and collect signatures. Especially in the difficult ballot access states. Get the Green Party in Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Georgia now.

    Gail for Rail has also talked about the Green Party nominating Michael Bloomberg.

  4. “Gail for Rail has also talked about the Green Party nominating Michael Bloomberg.”

    Why in the heck would the Green Party want Michael Bloomturd as their candidate? I’m not a Green, but even I think that the Greens are too good for Bloomturd.

    Here’s a video of a group called We Are Change protesting Mayor Bloomturd’s anti-1st amendment camera ban.

  5. Bloomberg would be an excellent nomination for the Green Party. It could create a strong third party in the United States.

    Bloomberg as Green Party Presidential nominee would win the Green Party ballot status in all 50 states. Bloomberg could lead a full slate of 435 green party candidates for House of Representatives. 33 of Bloomberg’s Green Party candidates for U.S. Senate. This would mean Bloomberg’s Green Party would elected people to the U.S. Congress in 2008!!

    What an extraordinary impetus for Bloomberg’s Green Party of real CONSERVAtive values growth across America and in the world.

    Bloomberg’s Green Party is the future!

  6. A dystopian future, maybe.

    Bloomberg is NOT a progressive, nor is Gail Parker, who describes herself as a “common sense conservative”.

    Bloomberg and his millions could very well yield more votes, but at what cost? The very heart of what we’re trying to build with the Green Party.

    If vote totals and not substance were what I cared about, I would be a Democrat or a Republican.

    I’ll stick to voting my values and wish that ballot line sniffing vultures like Parker, Jingozian and Imperato would stay the hell away from my party.

  7. Thank you, Mike Gillis. As if Mike Bloomberg would have anything to do with the Green Party anyway, even if he and the GP remotely had anything to do with each other ideologically or philosophically.

    Of course, I keep forgetting that it’s all about running! It’s all about getting on the ballot! Forget about oxymoronic pairings of people with parties who have virtually nothing in common with each other! And it’s all about ending sentences with exclamation points as often as possible!

    Those of you who are on planet Earth and are actually interested in progressive values and have a clue about what the GPUS and its key values are all about, please spread the word that Gail Parker has nothing to do with the Green Party and no one I know in the GPUS wants to have anything to do with her and her so-called Independent Green Party of Virginia colleagues.

  8. Bloomberg and Green Party is great idea! And exactly what Thomas Friedman of New York Times means when correctly pointing out need to brand Green in positive fashion.

    Go Gail! Go Bloomberg! Go Green Party!

  9. I am an Oklahoma Green Party member and met with Gail when she visited Oklahoma. She is a very nice person but she is not a Green. Her proposal to push for Bloomberg (who is a fascist IMHO) is insane. There is no way that the Green Party would ever elect someone like him. The Greens are anti-corporate party. Why in the world would we ever elect someone who is a defender of the corporate system?

    My concern is that Gail’s campaign will confuse the press and make them think that her views represent mainstream Green views. It’s a free country and she certainly can seek the Green Party’s nomination but I think the GP should act decisively now to let the public know that it will support corporate-powered politics.

  10. As a Green Party member in Nebraska, I think Gail Parker is wonderful! What a great idea to grow the Green Party into a real third party that can elect people to congress in 2008, and elect a President. Count me as a Bloomberg Green!

    Understand Gail Parker is in Omaha today seeking a meeting with Warren Buffett to Back the Draft Bloomberg Green Party effort

  11. You go sista Gail! for Rail! For Bloomberg.
    Indi Greens here in Kentucky think You and Michael Bloomberg are the ticket!

    Okay make U.S. Senator Tom Colburn of Oklahoma Bloomberg’s Vice President. That’ll grow the Green Party like no body’s bizness…Bloomberg Greens on the rise.

    I heard Gail Parker met with Warren Buffett in Omaha. True?
