2. So the guy from the band named "The Dead Kennedys"....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jello_Biafra

Jello Biafra (born Eric Reed Boucher; June 17, 1958) is an American musician, spoken word artist and leading figure of the Green Party of the United States.
...
He is a staunch believer in free society, who utilizes shock value and<1> advocates direct action and pranksterism in the name of political causes. Biafra is known to use absurdist media tactics, in the leftist tradition of the Yippies, to highlight issues of civil rights and social justice.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Party_%28United_States%29

The Green Party of the United States of America emphasizes environmentalism, non-hierarchical participatory democracy, social justice, respect for diversity, peace and nonviolence. Their "Ten Key Values,"<6> which are described as non-authoritative guiding principles, are as follows:

Grassroots democracy
Social justice and equal opportunity
Ecological wisdom
Nonviolence
Decentralization
Community-based economics
Feminism and gender equality
Respect for diversity
Personal and global responsibility
Future focus and sustainability

The Green Party does not accept donations from corporations. Thus, the party's platforms and rhetoric critique any corporate influence and control over government, media, and American society at large.

6. OK - thanks!

> He's a leading figure of the Green Party of the United States

I hadn't realised that. I only know him as just another mediocre
celebrity "musician" and so couldn't see why you flagged it here!

Ta,

:hi:
