[edit] Words from the creator

It strikes me that there was no overview article of the U.S. political parties, even in the middle of a presidential election. Are perhaps Swedes more interested in U.S. politics than Americans are? Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I didn't intend to add any POV to any party, and I apologize if anything in the article is interpreted that way. Mikael Häggström (talk) 12:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Need overalling

I moved the following text to here, since I think it needs to be adapted to give overall information about the party, instead of recent information about some individual greens:

The highest-ranking Greens ever elected in the nation were John Eder, who was a member of the Maine House of Representatives until his defeat on November 7, 2006, and Audie Bock, who was elected to the California State Assembly in 1999 but switched her registration to independent seven months later[1] running as an independent in the 2000 election [2].

[edit] Editors should note

Not to let this article become a Content fork...a less well-known article where OR prevails and revisionist history can be inserted with little to no oversight such as the main political party articles receive. Settler (talk) 23:43, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
