-The '''Green Party''' is a [[political party]] in the [[United States]] which places a strong emphasis on [[environmentalism]]. It supports many [[liberal]] social policies, as well as advocating moving politics to the [[grassroots]] and community level. It also supports [[national debt|debt reduction]], a conservative principle, though it generally supports doing this by raising taxes on the upper income brackets and cutting military spending.

-There are other Green parties throughout the world, though most, if not all act independently of each other.
-The Green Party's nominee for [[POTUS|President]] in 1996 and 2000 was [[Ralph Nader]].  It was [[Ralph Nader]]'s candidacy as the Green Party nominee in 2000 that reportedly split enough votes in [[Florida]] to enable [[George W. Bush]] to defeat [[Al Gore]] there, and that became the margin of Bush's victory for the entire nation.
-Ralph Nader was not the Green Party nominee in 2004 or 2008, when Nader ran as an independent, nor in 1992 when Nader ran as a [[write-in candidate]] in the [[New Hampshire]] Democratic primary.  In 2008, the Green Party nominee was ultraliberal former Congresswoman [[Cynthia McKinney]] of [[Georgia]].
