greenparty2.0

greenparty2.0 is a fresh, new, Earth-first, health-first political party in the United States. We are focused on universal human rights, free speech, and pro-Earth, pro-health, pro-science policy. We are pro-choice and defend women's right to women's healthcare.

The goal of this party is to run and elect morally-sound young professionals and working-class community leaders to Congress. Adding a legitimate third-party to the conversation in D.C. will encourage a much needed next chapter of negotiation and compromise, give representation to millions of more people, and break stalemate and extreme polarization in our politics. All of this will result in better governance and a more engaged general population in their democracy.

Many are suffering from the current dysfunction of our federal government, as we witness the longest shutdown in American history, boundless corruption and destructive, short-sighted policy. It is clear the only way forward will be to introduce a new, 3rd party that will work with both sides of the aisle and build coalition on priority issues. We are the only advanced democracy in the world without at least 3 parties represented in their federal or national government. We can work together to finally elevate our great country to its enormous potential.

Hello! My name is Adam Rueda. I am a 28-year-old Bucknell graduate. I was raised in Andover Township in Sussex County. I grew up attending Catholic school in Sparta. In high school, I was inducted into National Honors Society and as a National Hispanic Scholar. I was an Ambassador within the Office of Admissions as well as the proud recipient of the Tri-County Scholarship, a need- and performance-based grant to attend private high school. I was an Ambassador within the Office of Admissions as well as the proud recipient of the Tri-County Scholarship, a need- and performance-based grant to attend private high school.

To attend Bucknell, I received the Diversity Scholarship, which was awarded to incoming freshman that were going to bring diversity of experience and fresh perspectives to campus. While at Bucknell, I was Vice President and Social Chair of my fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and proudly graduated as a First-Generation College Graduate. My entire life, including college, I have worked odd-jobs to survive.

My degree is a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a focus in Financial Management and Accounting. I am proud to have participated in Student Managed Investment Fund, a year-long course where selected students invest and manage a portion of Bucknell's endowment. After graduation, I have gained life experience working as a Senior Financial Analyst in Morristown, as an Interior Design Salesperson in Short Hills & Manhattan, and as a DJ in NYC & Brooklyn.

We have created a new political party in the U.S., led by Earth-first, health-first, Gen-Z activists. We are champions of universal human rights, thinking creatively about gun safety laws in the U.S., as well as restoring true free speech in this country. I am proud to say that we have appointed 11 executive committee chairs including myself. Each of these executive committee members are college-educated, young professionals, all of whom sport diversified degrees and notable track records of activism in relevant topics. Viewed as a whole, our board boasts a wide breadth of life experience and professional expertise.
 
I am deeply concerned about the health and sustainability of our home planet, as well as our own bodies, and see vividly how the two are interwoven and inter-related. It is of upmost importance that we pay much closer attention to the chemicals and pollution we are releasing into the air, our waters, spraying on our crops, processing into our foods and feeding to our children and loved ones. 

I am deeply concerned about the impact of lobbying and self-profiteering in our federal government, as many existing politicians are bought and paid-for by large corporations and interest groups. I am deeply concerned that career politicians in D.C. are enriching themselves by voting on behalf of their own financial holdings and interests, and not the constituents they are there to actually represent. Many existing politicians accept massive funding from the Fossil Fuel industry, and even more from AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby. I believe this lobbying and campaign financing shackles our representatives to advocating for their financiers and contributes massively to the problems we have with the war on science and participation in genocide.

I am passionate about human rights, free speech, making healthcare much more accessible, climate change, agriculture and small farmers, and education. I am very interested in election reform, including ways to boost voter turnout and ways to empower new, fresh candidates, outside of establishment Republicans and Democrats, to have a legitimate chance in elections without having to bend-the-knee to large corporations or interest groups. This could include ballot reform, open primaries, and much more. Our party is passionate about thinking creatively about gun control, which could include gun storage requirements, requiring independent mental health evaluations to get a gun, as well as limiting access to high-powered assault weapons.
