This includes a wide variety of groups including parties.

as for me, I'm in none yet but may join the ACLU when I hit 18.

I'm a member of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies and student member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and donate to The Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence.

I am not a member of the Republican or Democratic parties.

I am a member of the Young Labor movement in my state of Australia, it's an organization of 18-26 yr olds interested in the Labor cause, it's apart of the Labor Party itself, it's also closely linked to the Union movement. I have also been involved with socialist movements in my university.

None.

You could call me a card-carrying member of the Republican party, but they don't give out cards :( .

I'm involved in the JGCLC, which is a non-partisan student group that is interested in Civic Leadership, Civic Activism, Public Policy and Public Service.

Other than that, I think I'm still a registered Republican, although I don't know if they want yearly dues or something. I haven't paid any of those. Nor have I participated in any activities, and my ballot was firmly split in the mid-term elections.

none, oh well if we're including NS ones... Punks & Pirates Party.

I guess, loosely, I could be called an Austrian. I have no desire, however, to associate with the Republicans, and most certainly want absolutely nothing to do with the Democratic Party, whom I loathe and despise above all things.

I'm a member of the Green Party (http://www.greenparty.ie/) of Ireland.

I guess, loosely, I could be called an Austrian.
Stop calling yourself that. You're an American. Austria is a country, and only people from that country are Austrians. Fans of individual Austrian economists and intellectuals are not somehow Austrian themselves.

None yet, but when I hit 18 I intend to join the ACLU and to register as a Democrat.

If there were more moderate environmentalist groups, who weren't under the control of the loonies, I might join one of them.

And I'm on everybody and their neighbor's political mailing lists, from all the letters I've sent through organizations, and all the petitions I've signed.

I'm in the NBCyIpsWP, I'm an NSGMP, and all the other stuff in my sig.

The Greens. I'm also a union member, but that's more for work issues than political affiliation.

only NS NBCyIpsWP party and not in a union as i'm my own boss

Member of the Lib Dems (UK)

I am a member of the CPUSA, or Communist Party of the United States.

I think I might be one of those people who wants to show political activity by joining an organization (like the ACLU as I mentioned) but will never end up doing it because I have to pay dues.

Yeah, I only pay dues to the AAAS because it also gets me a subscription to Science magazine. I mean, even thought I support their work strongly, I do need good reason to pay my $75 per year, especially given how much money the organization gets from philanthropists and its scientist members.

And I don't thing I can actually join the SIAI, so I just donate money instead.

You and your three friends, then?

I didn't even know they still existed...I figured most socialists had long since bailed to other parties, even before the USSR collapsed. I mean, the last time I could see being a member of the CPUSA was during the 50's and 60's when it actually worked pretty well in the Eastern Bloc.

Dues for the CPUSA are only 1 dollar a month :D

i don't know much about the AAAS's activities, but judging by the quality of Science and its relationship to the National Academy of Sciences, it is probably corrupt. feel free to correct this though, because i would like to hear otherwise.

i am not affiliated with anything much except a helluva lot of mutant fruit flies at the moment.

None really - the closest thing I can think of is the Ludwig von Mises Institute and CATO.

I've been a registered Republican since I turned 18. I have not been happy with my party for about 20 years.

Ugh! You quoted me before I corrected it. :p

NRA, and PETA.

Member of the UK Labour Party.

You and your three friends, then?

Admittedly I don't know how much they cheat with statistics, but presently the membership is claimed to be about 15,000.

If rough memory serves me, they garnered about 30,000 votes when they ran Gus Hall in 1984, the last time they ran a presidential candidate - since then, they've been endorsing the Democrats.

I must say that I, too, am a card-carrying member of PETA.

People Eating Tasty Animals, right?

They don't sound very communist to me.

I would so join a group by that name. :D

Few of the pro-Soviet parties are as hard-line as they once were. The Trotskyists and Maoists have been making a big deal of it for decades.

It's one of the reasons the hard-line of the New Left was never very friendly to them.

Republican Party (of course)
NRA

Not in anything yet. Looking at several organizations

Ah.

None. I have loose affiliations, but I haven't formally joined anything.

I was thinking about joining the PA, that's Procrastinators of America, but I just never got around to it.

I was in a union for my first job and I hated every fucking minute of it. I stayed on the family health plan because it was better than what the union offered, I actually got scolded for lending a hand off the clock when I stopped in for my check, I was scolded for not taking breaks, they were constantly posting anti-Sprawl*Mart stuff in the break room, and the worst part was that I couldn't work there if I wasn't in it. First jobs are a bitch. Still, it paid for what I needed.

Did I mention I hate unions?

I am not a member of any political organization--I am a Democrat.

I was surprised no one had used that joke yet. I'm also a member of the ACLU, and I don't know if you'd consider Medecins Sans Frontieres a political organization, but I've given them donations in the past and strongly support their work.

Did I mention I hate unions?

Yes, aren't they profoundly useless things? Pfft. Meal breaks, safety regulations...so inefficient.

ACLU, MoveOn.org. - I'm a liberal independent.

None. I have loose affiliations, but I haven't formally joined anything.

Same here.

I go to a public school. :p

I'm a card-carrying member of the Hecklers Association of America.

None, though I might join the Libertarian Party one day.

There was a time when workers were abused but that time, in this country at least, has mostly passed.

I'm currently a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW) and the Green Party of Michigan. I was a member of the Michigan Coalition of Responsible Gun Owners before I got lazy and didn't renew my membership.

Sorry, but you're way mistaken on this. The average American worker is getting abused daily, in ways they weren't getting abused twenty-five years ago which was roughly the last time we had a real union force in the US.

None that I'm aware of.

I'm considering joining the Green Party, though.

i'm considering to join the green party.

Ieee, Acm, Iwla, Ipsc, Uspsa, Nrbsa

I'm a member of the Respect Party http://www.respectcoalition.org/

I'm also a member of my union, the RMT

Your thread sucks. Don't quit your day job! :)

Luckily I dont have a day job to quit

I'm mulling over whether or not I want to pay dues in the Socialist Party USA. I'll probably end up joining the reformed Students for a Democratic Society once I get settled into college life.

What, so you can report us to the government?

Hell no! No soup for you!

None.

Proud member of the Pirate Party of Germany!

I had a library card once.


Oh, and I'm part of a secret cabal bent on the notion of Canadian world domination. But don't tell anyone. We're very secret....



Shhhhhhhhhh......

when I get Around to it CAMRA and the Pipe Smokers Cluband also the English Democrats

I am a member of the Liberal Democrats (and a couple of affiliated organisations).

Used to be a Tory, now a damn proud UKIP member.

I find it kind of ironic that, for a group with its goals, it has ten seats on European Parliament.

Well, one has to start somewhere, and I'd rather associate myself with something I belive in, than the lesser of two evils.

You know, I haven't ever given them any consideration - but given their anti-EU stance, perhaps I ought to. The Lib-Dems certainly aren't worth my time.

ACLU, NRA, sometimes give money to other efforts and organizations.
