In order for Grassroots Democracy to exist, the government must be held accountable to the people in every manner possible. The people of a democratic society have the right to know about what every organ of government is doing. Therefore, the Wyoming Green Party supports the maintenance and possible expansion of the Wyoming Public Meetings law, and the Freedom of Information Act. As a principle, the government should not keep secrets from the people. Additionally, we believe that those who make decisions should be responsible to the people.
Governmental power belongs exclusively to the people.
As both a fundamental part of democracy and a basic requisite to human dignity, we support the right of each individual to express their views, however controversial they might be. The Green Party rejects the de facto system of institutionalized bribery that dominates our political system as a direct affront to democracy. Democracy empowers the whole population, not just those with vast quantities of money. We support a system of public financing for all candidates for state and federal office, and spending limits for candidates for local office. Only by putting candidates on equal footing will democracy be restored.
