Relationship to Green Party?

Is the West Virginia Mountain Party in any way affiliated with the U.S. Green Party? The policy positions seem almost identical, except of course for the understandable local focus on mountaintop removal. This certainly seems at the very least like a lower-case "green party". I also see that Ralph Nader was on their ballot line in 2000.--Pharos 21:18, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not officially. (paraphrased edit by 69.43.4.196 of my own comment)

Tone of party platform

The party platform section needs to be rewritten. It reads like an advertisement or promotion. Using phrases like "Require corporations to pay their fair share of taxes," "ensure that all citizens attain an educational level that would allow democracy to flourish," "Promote patients' rights; enact universal healthcare as a right," "dismantle the political machines and replace them with politics as if people mattered," "any future global trade treaties that threaten to override state and US sovereign laws with the use of secret tribunals" are more aptly used in a political ad, not an encyclopedia entry.
