GPAX Mission Statement:
1) To research the true cost of war, militarism, violence and
imperialism and their impact upon human society and the environment, with
a special emphasis on evaluating the actions of the US
government, and to *help* develop informed positions for the GPUS, as
well as to recommend actions that reflect our party's
steadfast commitment to peace with justice, global disarmament
that starts at home, non-violent conflict resolution while
respecting the right to self-defense, diplomacy, and international 
cooperation that should reflect a real attempt at consensus and
full representation of everyone affected by decisions.

2) To engage in public relations on behalf of GPUS *as* GPAX ,
promoting the Key Value of Nonviolence, and to distinguish the
GPUS as a political party committed to ending war as a means
of resolving political and economic conflicts, and to the
achievement of a more just and peaceful society, at home and
abroad.

3) To articulate and promote our party's values and principles,
not only through grassroots activism and organizing, but also
through the electoral structure of the Green Party and its affiliated 
campaigns, demonstrating that as an independent political party
committed to values of peace and justice, the Green Party represents a
bridge between activism and electoral expression.

4.) To *help* raise social political consciousness and take action to 
ensure that in an age of rapidly emerging and changing technological 
advancements, that promoting peace and humanitarian endeavors are kept at
the forefront of consciousness, and that these endeavors
should honor and support local self-determination and independence rather
than occurring as imposed interventions.
