Although she was born Petra Lehmann, she took her stepfather's name "Kelly" and used it all her very public, active, fairly short life. She was quoted on Thursday night last, by Canada's Green Party leader, Elizabeth May at a rally in Downtown Toronto held to protest the exclusion of May from the Canadian federal election leaders' debate. Petra Kelly was the founder of the Green Party in Germany which was the first in the world to achieve political prominence. She is an inspiration to all Kelly Greens, including me! There are plenty of sites on the internet showing details of her life and tragic death.
