Party Leader Bob Brown called the showing a "Greenslide". Greens won in each of the country's six states, taking a total of ten seats. Commentators in the Sydney Morning Herald reported that the win was "phenomenal" and that the Greens are taking the Senate on "quite a move to the left after years and years of being dominated by the right."

Finally, it seemed that social researcher Hugh Mackay had been correct with his assertion that the Greens' message had moved from the ''eccentric fringe'' to resonate with voters on a very large scale. ''What's happened is that the world has caught up with the Greens,'' Mackay said in The Guardian.

Australian Greens can thank a proportional voting system for a small part of their success. Greens there continue working to break through exclusionary debates and media silence to elect Greens to office on the local and state level.

While in the U.S., the 300th Green candidate has declared their run for office. Check out all of our 2010 candidates and find a candidate near you at http://www.gp.org/elections/candidates/index.php.

Be warned. The more you trample on me, the more I will fight for my survival. Your greed and ignorance have run roughshod over me for long enough. All that matters to me now is that I find a way to heal myself. How else can I hold on to that principle part of my nature which you call ‘a mother’s love’?

With your greed and your denials, you have drilled a hole into me, so deep that you don’t know how to stop the bleeding. You are so immature and incompetent that everything you do makes matters worse. You set me on fire and drown me in poisonous chemicals. And there you are in your ineptitude, pointing fingers at each other as you run around like chickens with your heads cut off.

You blow up my mountains to get to the minerals within, unaware that those mountains are the sacred symbols of abundance on Earth – and you wonder why your economies, and I myself, are falling apart at the seams.

Your greed even attacked my precious companion who illuminates the night and keeps my tides flowing as they should. You bombed the MOON for heaven’s sake!!

You want to play God, so you experiment on me – smashing atoms in your underground ‘hadron-collider’ – at a time when the ground itself is so unstable.

Don’t you feel me quaking? Don’t you see me desperately throwing off the pain I am forced to endure through the pressure valves you call volcanoes? Don’t you hear me screaming or see me writhing as you arrogantly have your way with me, every day and every night?

You chop down my forests which, you foolish children, are your own lungs manifest – and you wonder why you’re having such a hard time breathing.

You fight with each other like spoiled brats always finding some ridiculous justification for your putrid stinking wars. And you say, so pathetically, “I just want some peace of mind.”

You choke me with your putrid stinking garbage, unaware that your own consumption is now consuming you.

Oh, the damage you have done to my oceans and waterways which, if only you could see it, are your own emotions in physical form – and you wonder why the world has become such a feelingless heartless place!

Start to FEEL again. Open your heart to the love of life.

What you do to my precious animals is MINDLESS CRUELTY. They are trying to leave Earth as fast as they can. My heart breaks for them – the victims of your greatly misplaced superiority complex. In a balanced world, as I intend it to be again, nothing is superior. Everything that lives has a right to be. On this planet, dear children, EVERYTHING is alive.

And, of course, what you do to each other is a crying shame.

You wait for the next shoe to drop and pretend you’re not afraid, unaware that you have always been under the feelingless foot of materialism. I love the material aspects of myself, but there is so much more to me than you have ever given me credit for. That is where your own salvation lies.

Go within. FEEL who you are. Your true nature mirrors mine in every way.

Stop your racism. Stop racing. Stop competing, you silly children. You are not the human ‘race’, you are humanity. You are all part of the ONE. You are all part of ME. But you are not all the same. You are diverse entities, and you can never be happy until you embrace your differences instead of judging each other for them. It is time to free your Wills from ancient imprinting – and grow up.

You cry out for change, yet you seem unwilling to make those changes yourself. Are you waiting for me to make them for you? You are helpless only because you believe you are. What are you waiting for? The time is now.

You have dealt your mother a massive blow, but I will find a way to heal myself, no matter what I have to do. The question is:

will you?

The Green Party of Florida is working with Progressive Democrats of America to bring Move to Amend to Florida in September. Don't miss these events. Check out the locations below.

On January 21st, 2010, the Supreme Court reaffirmed, in Citizens United v. FEC, that corporations are persons, and that their financial influence equals free speech, and therefore cannot be limited. Essentially the Supreme Court says Corporations are entitled by the U.S. Constitution to buy elections and run our government.

The MOVE to AMEND campaign asserts that "We the People" reject the Supreme Court ruling, and that "We Move to Amend" the Constitution to establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons.

David Cobb, MOVE to AMEND spokesperson, will be touring Florida cities from September 12-19th. Mr. Cobb and other esteemed speakers will lead a community dialogue raising awareness about this issue and building support for a Constitutional amendment.

David is a nationally renowned dynamic speaker and freedom fighter. He is a Principal with the Program on Corporations Law and Democracy Campaigns Director for Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County. As the Green Party Candidate in 2004, David, along with the Libertarian Party candidate, challenged the Presidential Election results in Ohio in 2004.
