INTRO: What have your congressional, state, and local elected officials been doing
to promote clear air, water, energy, and food? How have they voted on environment and food issues in general?
- Did they fund the widening of the Porkbarrel Parkway while cutting enforcement budgets?
- Do they support mountaintop removal coal mining and natural gas fracking, claiming, "We must destroy the village to power it!"...?
- Did they yammer on about healthy kids while they were voting for GMO crops and high-fructose corn syrup?
Find out! The US state environmental voters guide below provides links to voting information for green-minded voters in all 50 US states.
CAVEAT: It has become clear to me that the US electoral process is fixed, limited to choosing between candidates from a political duopoly that serves only the interests of the well moneyed, psychopathic elites. We cannot fix what is wrong with the US and the world by voting until we fix the way money works—i.e. bankster control of the money-creation power—and the way corporations work—i.e. corporate control of elected officials. I realize that many environmentalists are not ready to accept the futility of our voting choices; so in the meantime, tools like the environmental voting guide on this page may prove useful. But I urge everyone to escape the mainstream-media mind trap and the hopelessness of Republicrat politics. A good place to start is Grinning Planet's biweekly audio news feed. Good luck!
