Mein Kampf a winner with big parties

[pms]

I work with a woman who's son is a writer for The Washington Times(I just
realized I haven't even bothered to know her last name).  He and his wife do
the whole alternative liberal life-style thing.  Vegan.  I think she's big
in writing about breast feeding.  Yesterday the women told me he's running
for state congress in Mass. on the Green Party ticket.

Does one apply to join a political party in the US?  I wonder what sort of
questions are asked on E. applications or if this was just stuff he
volunteered on a form that is usually not read other than entering vitals
into a database?
