Answer politics of fear with politics of courage: Dr. Jill Stein

Eight days to ensure hearing of economic justice, peace, civil liberties, environment voices

Excerpted, edited by Carolyn Bennett

“Neither of the establishment candidates will speak for you in this election. They will continue to promote their failing strategies for propping up Wall Street and the status quo, while our society and the planet move ever closer to disintegration,” says 2012 presidential candidate Jill Stein.

“I am prepared to provide a clear voice for justice, civil liberties, environmental rescue, and an economy that works for everyone,” she says.  “We will file for matching funds on July 1, so quick action is essential.

“Victory is in sight! But I need your help.” http://www.jillstein.org/donate. 

Dr. Jill Stein’s Message continues

Eight days to ensure your voice is heard in 2012!

“The big money forces think they’ve bought this election and that they can frighten people into meekly endorsing one of the two establishment candidates.

“Thanks to a breathtaking outpouring of support from across the nation, our campaign is poised to shake up the political establishment and answer this politics of fear with the politics of courage.

“My campaign for president is within striking distance of qualifying for federal matching funds that will allow us to launch a people’s campaign for economic justice, peace, and an end to Wall Street rule in Washington. 

“We need to raise only about $24,000 more by June 30th to apply for FEC matching funds that will DOUBLE the value of contributions received so far.”

Qualifying for public funding “will not only give our campaign the enhanced credibility that comes with it,” but it will also mean “we can finish our ballot access drives and burst onto the national scene with an adequately funded campaign.…”

Forward!

Dr. Jill Stein

NY heads into primary final stretch

Choice among competent and diverse candidates is essential to democracy,
good government
Editing, re-reporting by Carolyn Bennett

Challenger and attorney Gail Goode says it is clear that, heading into midterm elections,  entrenched forces brought to bear “all kinds of pressure on several potential U.S. Senate candidates” to ensure that New York Governor David Paterson’s appointee, Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, received no serious opposition.

“New Yorkers have a right to a Democratic primary,” said U.S. Senate candidate Goode, who was successful in building an organization of citizens (more than 45,000 signatures of registered Democrats) who agreed with her mission “to give voters of the Empire State a choice for Senator in this year’s Democratic Primary.”


Described as “a tough lawyer and advocate for the people of the City of New York,” Gail Goode has brought to trial and supervised hundreds of cases defending hardworking people and saving New York taxpayers millions in litigation costs. As a former Assistant District Attorney, she prosecuted career criminals who had committed violent crimes against New Yorkers.

In her view, “New Yorkers are paying a very heavy price for the way the Senate candidate field was cleared for Sen. Gillibrand—simply because those working for her do not believe she [Gillibrand] can defend her very weak and inconsistent voting record in a competitive election.”


Attorney Gail Goode self describes as a political outsider and 24-year advocate representing the voters of New York.
