I'm fed up with the lies, the corporate
funding and the dumbing down of the 2012 Presidential election and,
like millions of Americans, I long
for a common sense approach to what 99% of Americans really want in their
president. Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein is singing that
populist song and she gets my vote: Allen L Roland
A
recent USA Today poll reports that an estimated 90 million people who could
vote this year probably won't, as they're disappointed in both candidates
and major political parties.
So
as Carl Gibson correctly points out in ICH ~ " What if just
two-thirds of those 90 million people turned out for a candidate with a truly
bold vision, who isn't beholden to corporate donors or bought party elites? It
would be a colossal upset for the establishment, and a big win for
citizens."
Gibson
goes on to write ~ Jill Stein is a candidate that the other 90 million of us
can get excited about. Picture the populist candidate Barack Obama
once was in 2008, minus the financial support from Wall Street banks and oil
companies, and the fawning coverage from mainstream media outlets. In her
Green New Deal, she's vowing to end drone strikes, tightly regulate Wall
Street, halt all government-funded construction of fossil fuel-dependent
projects, and end all foreign wars and occupations. She unabashedly calls
for higher top tax rates like we saw in the days of FDR and Eisenhower, and the
immediate closure of corporate tax loopholes that bleed out billions to
overseas, tax-free bank accounts where the elite have stashed anywhere between
$21 trillion and $32 trillion. As president, she would appoint Supreme Court
justices who believe corporations are corporations, not people, and fight to
get corporate money and influence out of the political process."

Why not go Green with Jill Stein for president !
Dr
Stein is expected to be on the ballot this fall in about 45 states, including
Washington ~ and
please note that corporate political spending now accounts for 78 percent of
the $465 million spent thus far during the 2012 election ~ and Jill Stein accepts no corporate funding.
Think
about it
~ both Obama and Romney are obviously shills
for the Corporate, financial elite and status quo ~ their platforms are
almost identical and they both answer to the same Wall Street masters. See video ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWDJEc92d38
And
Stein, unlike Obama and Romney, is not a shill for Israel or AIPAC ~ "
In particular, the United States has encouraged the worst tendencies of the
Israeli government as it pursues policies of occupation, apartheid,
assassination, illegal settlements, blockades, building of nuclear bombs,
indefinite detention, collective punishment, and defiance of international law.
Instead of allying with the courageous proponents of peace within Israel and
Palestine, our government has rewarded consistent abusers of human rights…..
On taking
office, I will put all parties on notice ~ including the Israeli government,
the Palestinian Authority, and the Hamas administration in Gaza ~ that
future U.S. support will depend on respect for human rights and compliance with
international law." See
Stein statement ~
The
Green Party is no longer the voice of Ralph Nader but instead they are attempting to be the voice of the 99% ~ and making a good go at it. Here's the
first Jill Stein for President TV ad appropriately entitled " ENOUGH
" http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vaObRxkX8K4
Myself
and millions of Americans have most certainly had enough of politics as usual,
broken promises and the maintenance of the status quo ~ another choice and
voice is most welcome in the 2012 presidential race
and most certainly the debates.
Here's
her four minute statement on why she's running ~
As
Susan Sauley recently wrote in the New York Times ~
"Ms.
Stein is quick to align Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney, saying their policies are
nearly indistinguishable. She cites the former governor’s policy on health care
and the president’s health overhaul as an example." (She supports a
single-payer system
as do millions of Americans)
“We
need to have people in Washington who refuse to be bought by lobbyist money and
for whom change is not just a slogan,” Ms. Stein said. “It seems like there’s a rebellion going on,
and people are really ready for something different.”
She's
right so hop on board ~ Jill Stein for President

Jill Stein is the only presidential candidate of 2012 that is speaking my language and deserves a seat at the debate table.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Allen. If we don't vote our values, then who will take us seriously. On election day, every Jill Stein vote will speak from the heart about the kind of nation we want.
ReplyDeleteGiven the very broad meaning, nature, and number of fields that fit under the descriptor "psychotherapy", could you please be more specific about where, and for what, you wrote your doctoral thesis?
