I had been involved in the Green Party in the U.S. for years, unfortunately the U.S. Green Party has become totally corrupted and anti-semitic. But the closest I came to an election was trudging door-to-door with campaign fliers for a schoolboard campaign, in which we won a seat in SF a few years ago. I also worked with NORML in Tucson, Arizona, and through NORML had the chance to lobby the public on referendum issues that affected my own privacy rights.

In Israel I have had much more opportunity to change things with the environment. If you take a peek at my Israeli Environmentalism tribe, you'll see we've had a modicum of success in preserving nature sites from massive development. I've become involved as well in the Green Leaf party, a party advocating environment and legalization of marijuana. Ale Yarok (Green Leaf in Hebrew) almost got into Knesset this year, and though I was only #14 on the party list, I was one of the few American citizens to have ever run for Israeli Parliament. During the course of our campaign and year-long activities, I have had the opportunity to lobby the public and work with the media on a grander scale than I ever even witnessed in the U.S. Feel free to join Ale Yarok's English forum:

One day, I will get in - and I will shake things up! I'd like to imagine that some of you are making change in the world and have a plan to seriously affect change on a larger level. If not, we are fucked! Do you want to trust to people like Dick Cheney to keep making the decisions? IF you don't step up to the plate, only more people like him will be elected. You know I speak the truth so get off your cushy couch and DO SOMETHING - NOW!! Report back at 08:00 with details of today's efforts.
