If there were another political party in Dutchess County championing reform, there would be no need for the Dutchess Greens. We are here because we are necessary for any real debate of the environmental and social justice issues that affect all the people. We are eager to take on the moneyed interests, the warmongers, the polluters, and the overpaid lawmakers lulled into complacency by a two party, one choice political system.
