The
Humane Party
is
a new political party in the
United States of America.
We are the first American
political party committed to the
rights of all animals, not just
the human kind, and to the
realization of a fully
ecosystem-neutral economy. We
will run our first U.S.
Senatorial candidate in 2012 and
our first Presidential candidate
in 2016. And we need
volunteers
nationwide right now! More
