FROM STEIN/BARAKA HEADQUARTERS

PERSONAL LETTER OF ENDORSEMENT
FROM RAY McGOVERN

My name is Ray McGovern.

I was an Army officer and then a CIA analyst for 27 years. My career began under John Kennedy and ended under George H.W. Bush. In the 70s I was chief of the Soviet Foreign Policy Branch and chaired National Intelligence Estimates. Later I briefed The President’s Daily Brief o­ne-on-one from 1981 to 1985.

Stated simply - I have seen what goes o­n behind the scenes at the White House. I know what it takes to be President of the United States.

I am in Europe now, but voted for Jill Stein, as a matter of conscience, before departing the U.S.

My support for Jill - and what she represents - is not an academic exercise. I have had personal experience of her nonchalance o­n brutalizing.

I was beat up, arrested, and jailed for simply turning my back o­n Secretary Clinton in silent witness, during a speech she gave - get this - about the need to respect dissent, IN IRAN!

I suppose I should take some consolation in the fact that I escaped the fate of Muammar Gaddafi, who was sodomized with a bayonet and murdered - amidst the next-day glee expressed by the Democratic candidate HRC: “We came, we saw, he died.” (chuckle).

I was thinking of my nine grandchildren (and the questions they have) when I returned my Intelligence Commendation Medallion - a gesture aimed at dissociating myself from an agency openly engaged in torture.

I thought of them even more, in deciding to cast my vote for Jill Stein, knowing that she and the Greens are hard at work trying to assure that my grandchildren will have the clean air and pure water that most of us “grown-ups” still take for granted.

Will you stand with me and support Jill with a donation of $100?

Ray McGovern

Dear Leo --

You may have heard of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal - or maybe not.

After all, the TPP was negotiated in secret and the media barely mentioned it until it became an issue in the presidential campaign.

But it's important: in short, the TPP is NAFTA o­n steroids. The biggest trade deal ever, it would offshore jobs and obliterate protections for workers, consumers and our environment.

The TPP would even set up global trade tribunals giving transnational corporations the power to challenge our laws - it's a global corporate coup.

Join Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka to demand that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump call o­n their parties to oppose any attempt to pass the TPP in the lame-duck session of Congress!

President Obama is a zealous backer of the TPP and is reportedly trying to get it passed through Congress in the lame-duck session - after an election where his own party is promising to stop the deal.

Hillary Clinton, after promoting the TPP across the country and calling it “the gold standard”, reversed her position during the primaries and now claims to oppose it.

But a recently leaked email from Clinton campaign chair John Podesta quoted a member of Congress who said “she was told by the Secretary that the o­nly reason she opposes TPP is to get ‘labor off her back’ and that o­nce she is elected President she will reverse position.”

Donald Trump also claims to oppose the TPP, yet as the standard-bearer of a party that has been staunchly in favor of bad trade deals like NAFTA, Trump also gives us reason to be skeptical.

The bottom line is: no matter what happens, we can’t let our guard down because the 1% who control both establishment parties want nothing more than to pass the TPP.

Now is the time to publicly hold politicians’ feet to the fire and let them know they can’t betray their campaign promises without provoking a popular revolt.

Join Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka to demand that Clinton and Trump tell their parties: no lame-duck TPP!

You can expect to hear more from Jill and Ajamu o­n how we can stop the TPP after Election Day, too. Remember: our movement for people, planet and peace over profit is just getting started.

It’s in our hands!

FROM STEIN/BARAKA HEADQUARTERS 

PERSONAL LETTER OF ENDORSEMENT

FROM KSHAMA SAWANT

From the beginning, the establishment has sought to make this election about fear.

Democratic Party leaders tell us we must vote for their corporate agenda in order to stop Trump and the right wing. Their fear-mongering has grown louder and louder as Clinton’s record has been more and more exposed.

But as decades of bi-partisan attacks o­n working people have shown, lesser evilism is a failed strategy. In Jill’s own words, “the politics of fear have brought us everything we were afraid of.” The o­nly way to decisively defeat the right is to build the left and our progressive movements.

That is why my organization, Socialist Alternative, and I are proud to endorse Jill Stein for President.

Unlike Hillary, Jill was never o­n the board of Walmart or bankrolled by Wall Street.

Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka were the o­nly candidates in the presidential race who went to Standing Rock to stand in solidarity against attacks o­n indigenous treaty rights and the climate.

Will you stand with me in supporting Jill and Ajamu by making a $60 donation today?

Many will ask you, “What is the point of voting when we know Jill’s not going to win?”

It is true millions of progressives will vote for Clinton in spite of their opposition to her politics, simply to prevent Trump from setting foot in the White House. I understand their desire to see him defeated, but even more important is beginning the process—too long delayed—of building an alternative to the pro-corporate parties monopolizing US politics.

Your vote for Jill Stein matters very much.

Jill’s campaign is an opportunity to rally support for what is widely wanted and needed: radical change. Every vote for Jill is a vote for a national $15 minimum wage, Medicare for all, and for a rapid transformation toward a clean energy economy. It is a down payment for a whole new kind of politics in the years ahead.

Because if we are serious about fighting for a society based o­n social justice and racial and gender equality, then we must have a broader and longer vision.

Some people ask, “Isn't it easier to push for change within the Democratic Party than try to build o­ne of our own?”

As Wikileaks and the presidential primary have shown, the Democratic Party is utterly hostile terrain for working people. The DNC did everything in its power to defeat Bernie Sanders. You can’t have a political revolution inside a counter revolutionary party.

We need to strengthen the left today and prepare to build a united party of the 99 percent, completely independent of corporate cash and corporate influence.

Jill and Ajamu accept no corporate donations, and rely o­n the support of ordinary working people like you.

YES! I will stand with you, Kshama, in supporting Jill and Ajamu by making a donation today.

The tide is turning.

A strong vote for Jill’s campaign, against all the pressures of lesser evilism, will raise the morale and the confidence of working people to build our movements in the months and years to come.

This can be done. But it requires that in these final days we continue to push back against the political and media establishment, and look forward to the future.

It also requires our financial support. We need to give to the Stein-Baraka campaign so they can continue the struggle to build an alternative to corporate politics, and capture every vote possible o­n November 8th.

It’s in our hands.

Kshama Sawant
Seattle City Councilwoman

P.S. The need for financial support is as important as the need for your vote o­n November 8 for Jill and Ajamu. Please give as much as you can today.

STEIN/BARAKA HEADQUARTERS

UPDATE:
The 22 Heroes of Democracy Still Need Your Help!

Dear Leo,

We're writing to update you o­n the “22 Hofstra Heroes for Democracy” who put themselves o­n the line - literally - o­n Monday, September 26th, to peacefully protest Jill's exclusion from the debates at Hofstra University.

Hillary Clinton said that most Americans wouldn’t know Gandhi from the guy who owns the garage down the street. Stein/Baraka supporters and the Green Party are WELL AWARE of Gandhi, and what the struggle for justice looks like.

Rosa Parks learned from - and was inspired by - Gandhi. Her words and actions helped change the course of history.

We think Rosa Parks would have been proud of our 22 Hofstra Heroes for Democracy. Don’t you?

These 22 brave activists decided that a Rosa Parks-style sit-in was the way to get the media’s spotlight o­n our message. And they were arrested... which was completely expected. (A revolution - even a nonviolent o­ne - is a very scary prospect for the establishment.)

All of the heroes felt 
their arrests were absolutely worth it.

“I've participated in many acts of nonviolent resistance. And every time I have, they handcuff people for the entire time. They did it again and this time - they tore my ligaments. But in the end, I was so proud of all the women and men who stood up and refused to be silent. There's no turning back now. We will see open debates in my lifetime!”  ~ Cheri Honkala

Hundreds of heroes were at the protest, sitting for their beliefs, but these 22 brave activists were singled out, arrested and charged with Class A misdemeanors …

We salute the 22 Hofstra Heroes for their courage, conviction and commitment.

Unfortunately though, the court is making all of them travel back to New York for their first arraignment - and it’s expensive. Many of them simply cannot afford it - coming from as far away as California, Texas, and Colorado.

Our campaign is trying to help them with their legal and travel expenses as much as we can. 

And that’s why we’re writing to you today.

Will you donate right now to help them as well?

We still likely have about $22,000 more in legal and travel expenses.

Now is the time to put your financial support behind those who stood up - or sat down in this case - for you at Hofstra.

“I take personal responsibility for the future of our planet. Every young adult, every child - born and yet to be born, every plant and animal, and the earth itself all depend o­n my willingness to face any consequence as I fight for our future. I declare I will defend our right to live and prosper in a beautiful world and a just society.“ ~ YahNé Ndgo

So today, please join us in honoring these heroes with your heartfelt thanks and with your financial support.

YES! I want to donate today to help with legal and travel expenses for these Heroes of Democracy.

By giving, you can be a hero for them, too.

As Jill and Ajamu often say, "We can create a new world. These goals - these imperatives - are not in our hearts, they're not in our dreams. They’re in our hands.”

We believe Mohandas Gandhi and Rosa Parks would applaud these words. Please contribute generously and let these words be heard over and over in these final election days.

Gloria Mattera
Campaign Chair
Jill Stein for President

P.S. In another act of suppression at Hofstra, earlier in the day, Jill was escorted off the campus by campus security and police - even though she was invited into the debate site by numerous media outlets who had even given her press credentials. (ABC, CBS, MSNBC, Fox News). 

We're not surprised. We're fomenting a nonviolent revolution. As always, that's a very scary prospect for the Establishment. And all the more reason why we need your donation today.

P.P.S. History anoints people as heroes. But their sacrifice often goes unappreciated by the people of the time. We will not make that mistake. We stand by these courageous and principled individuals. And we ask you to do the same. Be part of history and claim your own place in this movement.

STEIN/BARAKA HEADQUARTERS
URGENT!

PLEASE DONATE NOW TO HELP ME HIT BACK!!

Leo, maybe you saw the recent outrageous Daily Beast personal attack piece o­n Jill.

It essentially painted Jill as a hypocrite because she and her husband-- like 50 million other Americans-- have retirement accounts that are invested in mutual funds.

That's essentially saying that any schoolteacher, public worker, union member - or anyone else who works for a company that gives 401ks or IRAs as a benefit - the average, everyday working person - can never, ever criticize corporations because they've invested money for their future retirement.

As insulting as that is, it gets worse. A lot worse.

The first thing to know about the article and its author, Yashar Ali, is that Chelsea Clinton is o­n the board of directors of IAC, the corporate owners of The Daily Beast. The same publication that published relentless hit pieces against Bernie Sanders is now turning its corporate venom o­n Jill and the Green Party.

It’s so ridiculous it reads like a bad Saturday Night Live skit.

Maybe he created the imagined conflict of interest to distract from the very real, harmful conflicts of interest in the Clintons’ pay-to-play schemes, back-room fundraising, and quarter-million dollar speeches for the predatory banks, health insurance industry, and fossil fuel tycoons.

Or from the audio evidence of Hillary Clinton proposing to rig a Palestinian election. Or the fact that the Obama administration’s FBI is re-opening their investigation into her emails. AGAIN!

But wait, there’s more!

Ali also buys into the Fox News line that anyone who rides in a car is a hypocrite to oppose the continuation of fossil fuels. As Jill observes,

Let's be clear: this attack wasn't to point out a conflict of interest with Jill. It was to silence all dissent to the coronation of Hillary Clinton.

In the closing days of this election, don't be surprised if you see other hit pieces. Because the ruling elite is scared. They’re scared of Jill. They’re scared of the Green Party. They’re scared of YOU!

But they can’t take away Jill's passion and her principled stands o­n the environment, social justice, or income equality. They can’t take away her arrest warrant for standing in solidarity at Standing Rock. And they can’t take away the courage you have shown in standing up with her.

But because The Daily Beast is read by a lot of people it has affected our donations, which was their plan. Our contributions have dropped from $17,000 a day to about $3,000 a day.

The Clinton machine is worried that we are o­n the cusp of earning 5% of the vote,and they know that would qualify the Green Party for millions of dollars in federal funding.

They want to clip the wings of our peaceful revolution before it gets off the ground.

But YOU can fight back! YOU can take a stand.

You can help by keeping Jill and Ajamu o­n the campaign trail, and keeping hundreds of organizers in the field working their hearts out and their keisters off.

Will you give today to support Jill?

You and I both know that the o­nly conflict of interest here is The Daily Beast's corporate ownership. Like the John Oliver hit piece, these orders seem to be coming from the top down.

Will you give today and send a clear message to the Yashar Ali's of this world? Will you give today to keep Jill's message strong?

Let's fight the smear with your support!

Make your donation now.

It's in our hands!

Gloria Mattera
Campaign Chair

P.S. As Caitlin Johnstone said of Ali's article, writing for the Inquisitr, “What I’m finding intensely interesting at this moment is this: why is Chelsea Clinton still having her henchmen run smear pieces against Jill Stein? The official narrative we’re hearing throughout all corporate media is that Trump has fallen too far behind to recover and the return of Chelsea’s parents to the White House in January is now an inevitability. So why are the attack articles still coming? Why aren’t they just ignoring Jill Stein if she’s an irrelevant non-factor?”

We know the answer: Jill and Ajamu's message is being heard. She's a threat, and Hillary wants every Green vote she can get. And the Stein-Baraka message will be heard a lot louder in the coming days with a planned 3-part debate between Jill and Gary Johnson o­n The Tavis Smiley Show! Let's help keep our message growing. Give today.

STEIN/BARAKA HEADQUARTERS

A PERSONAL LETTER
FROM CHRIS HEDGES

Leo, as a campaign we are not o­nly excited, but honored to have this personal endorsement of Jill and Ajamu from the legendary Chris Hedges.

After reading this, will you give as generously as you can to our campaign? Our donations are down and we urgently need your help! We must defeat the fear-messaging coming from the Clinton campaign. Together we will.

FROM CHRIS HEDGES:

Over the last 15 years, following my return to the United States after two decades as a foreign correspondent, I have written eleven books o­n American culture and society.

These include:

• War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning
• American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War o­n America
• Death of the Liberal Class
• Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle
• Days of Destruction and,
• Days of Revolt and Wages of Rebellion: The Moral Imperative of Revolt

My reporting and writing, which has taken me to many parts of America, has convinced me that the traditional mechanisms of reform, including the two major political parties, have been captured by corporate power.

“We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy. We no longer live in a functioning democracy, but a system the political philosopher Sheldon Wolin calls “inverted totalitarianism.”

We will step outside this system and build alternative movements, including alternative political parties, or see the rise of a Christianized fascism, of which the Trump campaign is the dress rehearsal.

It is imperative that you join me in contributing to the Stein/Baraka presidential campaign and vote for Jill and Ajamu in the upcoming election. There is no longer any genuine threat from Donald Trump that can be used as an excuse to vote for Hillary Clinton.

The current policies of austerity and endless war, of wholesale surveillance, of Wall Street fraud and abuse, along with a refusal to enact a massive green energy program to save our environment, will by 2020 ensure the rise of a far-right candidate endowed with a discipline and political skill that eludes Trump.

If Jill and the Green Party can get 5 percent of the vote we will have $10 million in federal funds in 2020 and broad, nationwide ballot access. This election is about building the momentum for this historical moment.

The time for resistance, genuine resistance, is now. We must step outside the political mainstream. We must, like Greece and Spain, invest in movements and parties to reverse our corporate coup.

We must dismantle the neoliberal policies and imperial adventurismthat have laid waste to our civil liberties and are destroying the nation and the planet.

Don’t be ruled by fear this election. Be ruled by your conscience.

Chris Hedges

** END OF CHRIS HEDGES LETTER **

Leo, will you help us today? Time is of the essence - with 2 weeks left in the campaign, it’s urgent now!

As Jill and Ajamu often say, "We can create a new world. These goals - these imperatives - are not in our hearts, they're not in our dreams. They’re in our hands.”

STEIN/BARAKA HEADQUARTERS UPDATE

URGENT!
THE NATIONAL MEDIA ISN’T GIVING YOU THE WHOLE STORY!

Leo,

If you watch the corporate media—CNN, ABC, CBS, etc.—you'd think that Jill was polling from 1% to 4%, depending o­n the outlet.

But those results don't tell the full story!

Jill is killing it among millennials, artists, and left-leaning voters!!!

For example, the artist's network Acceptd ran a poll of its members and Jill came out the leader, ahead of Clinton, Trump, and Gary Johnson, at 40% of the vote!

Then there's the downloadable app called  MeetWeThePeople. The polls of its members range from 31% of the vote for Jill in the U.S. overall, and nearly 46% of the vote in California! In most of their polls, SHE’S SHOWING TO BE WAY AHEAD OF HILLARY CLINTON!

That's why we say, don't believe the national polls!

There's another reason, too, and it's even more inisidious. It's apparent from wikileaks documents that ...

The Clinton campaign has manipulated polls from the start!!

Here's what John Podesta wrote in an email:

Why would he want oversampling? Simple. To create overly optimistic polling numbers for Democrats.

“Oversampling” means the campaign is having its paid pollsters interview more people in a particular group or groups—like groups that favor Hillary Clinton.

The results make Clinton look stronger than she really is.

Plus, statistically speaking, polls that are oversampled have been shown to be less reliable than polls that are not oversampled. (Hate to get technical but we thought you'd like to know the truth.)

The fact is, the polls—whether national or local—are all over the place this election and no o­ne can predict with any certainty what the results will be o­n November 8.

That's why it's so critical that you give - today - to keep Jill and Ajamu's campaign strong and our ground-game running across all 50 states.

“It ain't over until it's over” is a famous baseball cliché; in the instance of Jill and Ajamu's race, it's a cliché that also happens to be true!

Will you stand with Jill and Ajamu today?

Will you put your hope with a Green New Deal, the abolishment of student debt, and a full-out mobilization against climate change, institutional racism, and police brutality?

Jill and Ajamu need your support today. In a couple of weeks it will be too late. Don't be stuck wishing that you had done more when you wake up o­n November 9th.

Help Jill and Ajamu with your donation today! It’s in our hands.

A PERSONAL ENDORSEMENT
FROM MEDEA BENJAMIN

Dear Leo,

Amazing.

That o­ne word says it all if you’ve been to the rallies I’ve been to, or seen the impressive and diverse list of names who are supporting Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka.

They are amazing in their compassion and amazing in the hope they bring. This is real people power.

Jill and Ajamu represent a tremendous joining together of compassionate people under the banner of the Green Party in the race for the White House.

I firmly believe that this revolutionary movement promoting the restructuring of society with bold ideas, can and will transform government from catering to the 1% to caring for the 99%.

And this is the reason I wholeheartedly endorse Jill and Ajamu.

As a social activist and co-founder of CODEPINK and Global Exchange, I’ve successfully changed multinational corporate policy, improved the lives of sweatshop workers, and received awards from diverse humanitarian groups - including a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. I’ve even helped you get your “fair trade” coffee at coffee shops.

I’ve witnessed, with my own eyes, the power and beauty of fusing social movements into o­ne overarching "movement of movements" like the Green Party, o­ne that’s willing to use electoral politics as a tactic for desperately needed transformation and real change.

And in our nation, the Green Party is so desperately needed. Because in the end, you’ll see NO change coming from the establishment candidates. They’re warmongers - hawks and militarists - with deep ties to Wall Street and the weapons industry. For them, profits take priority over people. They have little regard for our planet, and even less for peace.

Trump for example, has told us he will ban Muslims from immigrating to the country. Clinton says she has the diplomatic experience necessary to maintain world peace and safety. Her record tells us something different.

I’ve done my homework o­n both of these candidates and can tell you that their brand of diplomacy has been or will be done by bombings and drone attacks.

Does it really make sense to believe that the world is filled with people who spend every waking moment hating Americans and thinking up ways to kill us?

Or rather, is the world filled with farmers who want to bring in a good crop without the fear of plowing up a landmine? Tradespeople who want to create and sell quality goods and services? Mothers who want to see their children grow up healthy and prosperous? 

I’m writing to you today to endorse Jill and Ajamu. I  urge you to support them as wholeheartedly as I do - with heart, energy, time and money.

Currently the campaign has fallen a little behind in their fundraising. That's why I need you to give again today, as much as you can - even $10 would help.

This is our year to make it clear that a tremendous movement for change has taken hold and we won't quit until we see that change. We plan to revolutionize the world and restructure society as we know it.

It's up to us to turn back the forces of evil and work for the greater good. As Jill and Ajamu say ... it's in our hands. Will you give today?

Medea Benjamin
Code Pink CEO
Political Activist

P.S. I just wrote a new book o­n Saudi Arabia called Kingdom of the Unjust. Hillary Clinton has taken millions of dollars from the Saudis for her foundation and as Secretary of State, she authorized billions in weapons sales to this repressive regime. Donald Trump has all kinds of businesses with the Saudis. Jill Stein is the o­nly candidate who has taken the clear and principled stand of calling for an end to weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, a position taken by the Green Party. Instead of investing in the two parties that are in bed with repressive regimes, why not  support the Green Party revolutionary movement today?

P.P.S I’m voting for Jill and Ajamu because I want the Green Party to get 5% of the vote, which would be a real gamechanger. It would mean that in the next race, the Party would automatically be o­n the ballot nationwide and would receive $10 million as a legitimate major party! Polls show that 57% of Americans want a new political party. Let’s help the Green Party grow and thrive in this and future elections. Please donate today.

STEIN/BARAKA HEADQUARTERS UPDATE!

IN THE 2016 FINAL DEBATE LAST NIGHT 
THE BELLS OF FREEDOM RANG OUT!

Dear Leo,

Last night, across the Internet, Jill Stein - a woman of true substance and integrity - stood up and showed America what a real president looks like. She o­nce again proved that there is no reason to “hold your nose and vote Hillary” or “stay at home because Bernie is gone.”

Here are some notable quotes:

Jill and the Green Party are engaged, with you in the hard work of revolution. 

“Speaking truth to power” - to political parties, the military, the corporate media, predatory financial institutions - is at the heart of Jill's platform. And that’s exactly what she did last night in the debate.

Because of all the explosive media attention both before and after the debates, we’ve made great strides in getting a lot of work done - but there’s so much left to do.

And we are depending o­n you, our heroic supporters 100%, because...

We are the o­nly clean-money campaign and we put people, peace, and planet over profits!

Our party’s power comes from individuals like you. A total of about 84% of our total contributions have come from people who have given under $200... And of course, we accept NO corporate donations. (Only 17% of Hillary’s donations come from small donors.)

The Green Party is truly a grassroots revolution, a movement for real change, and we’re going to blindside the establishment. They think they’ve shut us down with the media blackout, the Trump circus, and the Hillary ad blitz.  

But last night proved them wrong. Thanks to you, o­nce again, we owned the Internet!

But winning costs money...This battle has hit us hard financially. We’ve watched our pennies while using every opportunity to make the Jill and Ajamu option known to America.

Our expense controls have worked better than expected and we’ve made it to the middle of October. But it has been costly.

Here are the total campaign costs from all debates:
1st debate at Hofstra: $50k
2nd debate(Town Hall) in St. Louis: $35k
3rd debate: $25k
VP debate: $35k
===============
Total cost: $145,000

When we started, we knew that from NOW right up to the election would be the most expensive part of the campaign. And we knew we would be calling o­n you to help. We need you to act today for the greater good, so Americans don’t have to choose between the lesser of two evils in the establishment candidates.

Our lives literally depend o­n it. So does the life of our planet, and the future of our children and future generations. YES! I want to act today for the greater good. Here’s my donation.

The world we’re working toward is not a dream. It’s not unattainable. As Jill says…it's in our hands. We have to stand up today, this minute, and fight for the greater good as if our lives depend o­n it. Because they do.

Gloria Mattera
Campaign Chair

P.S. Jill is America's last, best chance to permanently end our disastrous history of corruption, deceit, and having to choose the lesser of two evils. Getting Jill’s message out—that Americans will no longer stand by for corruption, deception, and censorship — takes money. YES! I want to support Jill right now!

P.P.S. Will you help us continue to get our voices heard o­n the Green New Deal, Climate Change, o­n abolishing Student Debt, Income Inequality, Black Lives Matter, public corruption and more? The solutions will not be found in the insanity of the establishment parties. They will be found in us. COUNT ME IN! Here’s my donation. (Did you know? You are allowed to give up to $2,700 to Jill. Why not max out your donation today?)

STEIN/BARAKA HEADQUARTERS ALERT!
URGENT!

2016 FINAL DEBATE -
LET FREEDOM RING!

Dear Leo,

The final Presidential debate is tonight, October 19th at 9pm ET! The Green Revolution has begun - tomorrow starts TODAY - and you know it because you are part of it.

Really, you (and millions of others like you) made this movement happen!

And now, brothers and sisters, it’s your turn to step up and stand with Jill. Because …

Tonight, we will see the final
chapter of Donald Trump’s
imploding campaign end.

And everyone knows it.

The polls have Hillary Clinton with a solid lead nationally, and leading by even more in key battleground states.

Stated simply -- Trump is toast. There is virtually no chance that he will be President.

Which opens up
the opportunity for Jill to 
Expose Hillary Clinton for her...

 Support of WAR AND EMPIRE
TIES TO WALL STREET
Support of the PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
Defense of the NSA and PROSECUTION OF EDWARD SNOWDEN
Support of PRIVATIZED HEALTH CARE

Jill will remind America of the Hillary behind the practiced political mask, as well as the disaster that “President Trump” or “President Clinton” would be for America!

Will you help Jill hold Trump AND Hillary accountable?
Jill needs your financial help RIGHT NOW!

The corporate duopoly candidates will “debate” o­n the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus, in a traditional debate format divided into six segments and moderated by Fox News Chris Wallace.

But we’ll be livestreaming Jill from Las Vegas where we’ll insert her LIVE between questions, laying out her plan for building a just, Green, and peaceful society.

Literally, MILLIONS WILL HEAR and see JILL. And that is o­nly because of generous donors who keep this campaign chugging.

We need you “hashtag ready” and waiting, as Jill trounces Hillary and The Donald (who really is finished). Use #OpenTheDebates to make your voice heard and take part in the tweets.

Will you stand shoulder to shoulder with Jill, the only candidate with bold, realistic programs for building a new world?

During the debate, she will be providing real answers to the problems that face us.

We estimate that the costs of sending Jill and her team to Las Vegas at $35,000. Can you help by making a donation?

Please give whatever you can today - IT’S URGENT!

If you’ve already made o­ne, now’s the time to make o­ne again! Any amount you can give will help.

Tonight, America will have a clear choice - the choice between the mud slinging and broken promises of the corporate duopoly candidates, or the candidate who has fresh, realistic plans to build a new America!

Count me in! I want to donate “$29 for Stein” and support Jill right now!

The $35,000 we hope to raise with this email will pay for technology, travel costs, the website, and all the associated  infrastructure of this historic “people’s intervention.”

With the election less than 3 weeks away, everything is o­n the line...WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY.

As Jill and Ajamu say, “We can build this new world. It's not in our hopes. It’s not in our dreams. It's in our hands.” Let’s build a better future together!

Gloria Mattera

P.S. Remember, the third and final Presidential Debate will be broadcast live starting at 9PM ET. Log o­n to the campaign Facebook page to watch Jill's responses to the questions asked. And please give generously to cover the costs of our livestream event. It’s our way of using the “people’s media” to reach millions of people that are blocked by the corporate media blackout! We know that we’ve already had over 20 million views by using this strategy. The third debate is our best, last chance to reach millions of voters with a real choice.

P.P.S. Help us support Jill’s last Presidential debate by giving now. During the debate, Jill will talk about the campaign's platform which includes the Green New Deal, the bold initiative that will create 100% full employment in our nation and combat climate change. Along with  universal health care, abolishing student debt, an end to police violence, support for Black Lives Matter and an end to institutional racism and so much more! ALSO! SEE JILL’S NEW VIDEO NOW!

Dear Leo,

Let’s cut to the chase. A Green revolution is happening in this country. You know it and I know it. We also know the corporate media is trying to crush that revolution, and silence me and other alternative voices in this election.

They’re creating a climate of fear - and apparently, it’s working. According to a recent article in Time Magazine, 52% of the women they surveyed are in fear because of the choices presented in this election.

The establishment parties are pushing the fear message as far as they can, also saying that you can’t afford to waste your vote o­n me.

But it’s a false narrative.

The real narrative here, the fearful truth, is what will happen if as a nation, we’re faced with a Clinton or Trump Presidency.

Both of these candidatespose the greatest danger to America and the world than any other candidates we've seen in recent history.

With their corruption and corporate loyalties both Clinton and Trump will - if elected - implement.

policies that will destroy our planet, increase endless war, and ruin people’s lives. ALL in the name of profit. 

These candidates are the embodiment of everything - everything - I stand against.

Will you donate today and join with me today to stop them? (ALSO SEE MY NEW VIDEO HERE!)

It’s plain the kind of disastrous president that either corporate candidate will make. Trump’s idiotic calls for a border wall and banning Muslim immigrants make it apparent what he will do. Clinton’s record of supporting war and imperialism, as well as her craven connections to Wall Street, make it obvious what she would do. In fact...

Here are the TOP 5 DISASTERS I believe we’re headed for if either of these corporate candidates are elected:

• A continuation of the disastrous Middle East colonial policy that is producing a refugee crisis, breeding terrorists, and leading us toward nuclear war with Russia.
• Continued military overspending while millions of Americans live in poverty.
• Runaway climate change and widespread environmental contamination from oil and gas fracking operations, that both Trump and Clinton support and promote.
• Predatory financial institutions being allowed to continue making the top 1% richer while 68% of Americans say their lives are harder and,
• A global free-trade regime that will end American workers’ jobs and encourage virtual slavery (sweatshops) abroad (TPP).

We must stop the madness. When it comes to Hillary, as my friend Dr. Cornel West says, we cannot allow this hawk, this imperialist to be elected. And when it comes to Trump, as Michelle Obama said this week, we can’t endure him another minute, much less four years.

I know you want to make your vote count. You want to stand up for what you know is right for your family and for America. So don’t waste your vote in the failed two-party system. Invest your vote in a growing movement for real change.

Will you join me now? Will you stand with the Green Party and oppose Clinton and Trump, and their disastrous policies that will destroy the economy, spread war, and put your children’s future and the very planet at risk?

YES! I want to donate right now (AND SEE THE NEW JILL VIDEO)!

If you’ve already donated, thank you - but now’s the time to make o­ne more!

I’m asking you to help Ajamu and I get the word out about our Revolution to the millions of Americans just like you who are wanting a choice - a choice of leadership that will effect REAL change for America.

We can build this new world. It's not in our hopes. It’s not in our dreams. It's in our hands.”

Jill Stein
2016 Presidential Candidate for the Green Party

P.S. Remember, we rely o­n the support of the people, now and always. We never take donations from corporations or lobbyists, so please give generously today.

P.P.S. Change costs money! Thank you for bravely standing up against the power brokers behind the “would be” leaders of this country. Thank you for supporting me and our Green Party! CLICK HERE ALSO TO SEE THE NEW JILL VIDEO!

STEIN/BARAKA HEADQUARTERS NEWS ALERT

JILL CHALLENGES THE SPOILER ISSUE
ON C-SPAN TOWN HALL!

Leo, did you see Jill and Ajamu Tuesday night during the C-SPAN Town Hall? If you did, you know just how awesome they were. If you didn’t, you missed quite a progressive performance. Luckily, you can see it o­n our website.

Answering questions from the moderator, questions from tweets, and questions from callers, Jill and Ajamu outlined clearly what's at stake for voters o­n a wide range of topics. They took o­n climate change to war in Syria to institutionalized racism and police brutality.

A highlight of the hour-long program came when a Hillary supporter, Steve from Wisconsin, asked Jill if she would take her name off the ballot in battleground states because he was worried that Jill will act as a “spoiler” for Hillary in those states.

Jill challenged him right back:

“Are you ok with the nuclear war (if Hillary is elected)? Six months from now, we could be in a nuclear war with Russia thanks to Hillary's foreign policies.

We have seen what Hillary can do in Libya. She says what she wants to do in Syria (establish a no-fly zone that puts us in direct conflict with Russia). It's important not to drink the Kool-Aid.

Don't just be a victim of the propaganda. You really need to look at the track record and make a principled decision.  What we say is - the biggest wasted vote is a vote for more of what is throwing under the bus. Invest your vote in a true social movement for real change.”

The C-SPAN interview is just o­ne of dozens of media interviews and appearances the Stein/Baraka team is earning these days. With every national interview, Jill and Ajamu's platform of bold, forward thinking Green ideas finds an audience, and helps grow the movement.

Over 8,000 people watched C-SPAN live, and as of Wednesday night, the program had over 312,000 total views plus 10,000 shares overall o­n social media!

By way of comparison, Gary Johnson—who had the spot with C-SPAN the hour before Jill and Ajamu came o­n—got o­nly 4,100 people watching live, with 73,100 total views o­n Wednesday, and o­nly 1000 shares o­n social media. This is why he’s scared to debate Jill! Just look at the difference in those numbers! The “enthusiasm gap” is just astounding.

Don't believe the corporate media blackout!Our message—with your financial support—is getting out o­n the “people's media,” social media like Facebook and Twitter, to name just two of the platforms we utilize.

In fact, during all three of the rigged Presidential and VP “debates," Jill and Ajamu received more than 22 million views o­n social media.

Truly, we have an incredible volunteer social media campaign.

But we can't do it alone. We urgently need your donation today to keep up the relentless 24-hour cycle of social media posts and events.

With your help, we can continue to take our shared message, our shared ideas, and our candidates to the people through social media.

Will you donate today as generously as possible? A donation of “$29 for Stein” can make a real difference in our social media outreach.

Please - don't delay. While this email is in front of you, please make a donation. If you’ve never given before, now is the time! No amount is too small, or too large (up to $2700 per person). Click here to donate now.

And be sure to keep checking jill2016.com for news of more appearances by Jill and Ajamu in the media. Help spread the word!

As they say-- A new world is not just in our hopes. A new world is not just in our dreams. That new world is in our hands!

Campaign Chair

P.S. You can watch the entire C-SPAN hour-long interview by clicking HERE. Jill and Ajamu have a lot to say about foreign policy, and the thought of Donald Trump OR Hillary Clinton at the helm of our foreign relations is downright terrifying.

P.P.S. Please - we urgently need your help today for Jill and Ajamu, the candidates for peace and an end to the madness!

http://www.jill2016.com/

Leo, let me introduce myself.  I am Dr. Cornel West, a teacher of philosophy and a citizen the US republic.

I wholeheartedly support Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka. And I’m writing to you today to let you know, they have my endorsement - and I know they have your support as well.

You know, I’ve never been tied to o­ne party or o­ne candidate or even o­ne institution. And that’s true even with o­ne church as a Christian. I’m committed to truth and justice. I know you are, too.

I came late to the Green Party, but right o­n time; I was a tireless supporter and surrogate for Brother Bernie Sanders … he was the standard-bearer for truth and justice during the primary at a national level, at a highly visible level. Maybe you supported him, too.

But o­nce he endorsed Hillary Clinton, I had to endorse Jill and Ajamu.

Why? Because Hillary Clinton is a neoliberal disaster.

What I mean by neoliberal disaster is someone who generates a mass incarceration regime, who deregulates banks and markets, who promotes chaos of regime change in Libya, supports military coups in Honduras, undermines some of the magnificent efforts in Haiti of working people, and so forth.

That’s the record of Hillary Clinton.

She’s an imperialist. She’s a militarist. She could take us into war with Russia. She could take us into war with Iran. I believe she’s dangerous in terms of her neoliberal ideology—not as a woman, because I’m supporting, of course, my dear sister Jill Stein.

Jill is not a spoiler. You know, a lot of people use that term "spoiler." 

But truth is, If Hillary Clinton can’t make the case to progressives, she doesn’t deserve our vote.

That's why I've put my time, my heart, my energy behind Sister Jill.

And I need you to go above and beyond for her today, so we can keep the movement she's part of, that I'm part of, rolling like a wave of thunder across the entire nation.

I implore you to make the biggest donation to the Stein-Baraka campaign as you can today. No donation is too small—think of the Widow's mite in the Bible—and no donation (up to $2700 per person) is too large.

You see, the campaign for Jill has grown exponentially and now needs about $17,000 a day to keep up through November 8. Our goal to start, is to raise $85,000 by midnight o­n Saturday. Will you help us?

We're currently falling behind in our fundraising.That's why I need you to give again today, as much as you can - even $10 would help

Because of about 45,000 prophetic donors to her campaign, we've been able to build a progressive movement the likes of which the United States has never seen in modern times.

This is our year to dig in and make a real difference, to turn back the wave of neoliberal policies that are killing black folk, women, prisoners, people of color, the poor and the dispossessed, and our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered sisters and brothers.

This is our year to make it clear that an alternative movement has taken hold and we won't quit until we see huge change. We will revolutionize the world.

The last shall be first, and the first shall be last.

This is our year to support Jill! In the language of Coltrane, Jill’s a major force for good, accenting the role of poor and working people being center stage.

Today, while this email is in front of you, please give generously, as much as you can—to my Sister Jill Stein and Brother Ajamu Baraka.

It's up to us to turn back the forces of evil and work for the greater good.

As Sister Jill and Brother Ajamu say ... it's in our hands.

Dr. Cornel West

STEIN/BARAKA HEADQUARTERS NEWSFLASH

URGENT! PLEASE DONATE $29 FOR STEIN
TO HELP JILL CONTINUE TO SHRED THE DUOPOLY!

THIS is why they won't let Jill debate Hillary & The Donald! She’s Too Good!

Leo, last week Jill stopped in for an interview with Maria Shriver, corporate media icon and heir to o­ne of the great establishment political families.

To be blunt, Maria tried to ridicule, mock and undermine Jill. And just as at Standing Rock -- Jill stood strong, powerful and unwavering.

You can see the 16 minute video here, and it’s a blast to watch.

What you'll see is a candidate who will not bow down and will not give in. What you'll also see is a so-called “journalist” attempting to trivialize real issues to defend Hillary Clinton. Maria Shriver used  every “gotcha” tactic in the book, and Jill was nothing short of phenomenal!

It was particularly galling to hear Maria Shriver try to shame Jill (and her supporters) for not supporting Hillary Clinton, and strongly implied that YOUR vote automatically belong to Hillary. Be sure to listen to Jill's fearless answer.

Jill's days are filled with back-to-back interviews and last night, at the second Presidential Debate, Democracy Now! Was prepared to allow Jill's answers to be heard after Hillary and Donald's non-answers to each question.

But for the first time in their history, technical difficulties prevented them from being able to do a live show from a different location.

But Jill’s team turned o­n a dime, and created a Facebook stream to allow Jill to respond in real time. Over 2 million people were reached this way!

Please check out that recording o­n the website, and you will see that Jill always comes back to the issues that are literally killing us: climate disaster (Matthew being just the latest superstorm), wealth inequality, access to medical care, student debt, institutional racism, police brutality, and so much more.

The Green Party has the answers that Americans are desperate to hear. We will continue to take to the “people's media”, social media like Facebook and Twitter, to make our case and spread the Green movement. 

The establishment media is trying to silence us. But the great wind of change is blowing …

This movement will not be stopped - it will be heard, and it will grow. The work we do this year will directly translate into more Green candidates in the next election cycle, and a 2020 presidential campaign that will be immediately well-funded, organized, and effective.

But we can't keep up this work, especially our 50-state Get Out The Vote campaign, without your financial help. Please, will you chip in $29 for Stein today, or any amount you can give up to $2700 per person.

Hillary and Donald don't have bold, breakthrough answers. You know that. The Maria Shrivers of the world don't have brilliant, incisive questions. You also know that.

If you ask the wrong questions and put forth the same-old, same-old answers, all you get is the same disastrous consequences.

Pleasegive generously today so we can keep standing up to the Maria Shrivers in the corporate media. And more importantly, that we continue to build the electoral arm of the growing movements for peace, justice, democracy and ecology.

Please give to the Stein-Baraka campaign today.

A new world is possible, and we are helping to build it. BECAUSE OF YOUR GENEROUS DONATION.

This new world is not just in our hopes. It is not just in our dreams. That new world is in our hands.

Gloria Mattera
Campaign Chair

 P.S. Here's a new video of Jill talking about the movement we are building together. We are what Democracy looks like!Help us continue to rise UP against an Establishment politik that is killing us. Please help Jill and Ajamu and yourself and contribute today.

P.P.S. Already, our social media outreach is getting millions upon millions of views—15 million in the first debate alone -- and this is critical work we must keep up! Will you help Jill and Ajamu today?

Dear Leo,

We urgently need your help - right now. Your faith, passion, and strength are the fuel we need to propel Jill and Ajamu's campaign and effect very real change in America -- in time to stop Hillary and the fossil fuel industry from destroying our planet. We must hold back the climate crisis, and guarantee a better future for our children.

The current talking points of the fear message coming from the Democrats is that you can’t afford to waste your vote for Jill. But here’s the truth. As a committed climate activist, you can’t afford to waste your vote o­n a candidate like Hillary or Gary Johnson who will most assuredly implement policies that will destroy our planet.

The fear-mongers want you to believe that Obama and Hillary have a wonderful record o­n protecting our climate.

But that's just not the case.

While she was Secretary of State, Hillary created a government office to promote fracking around the world!

According to Mother Jones in March of 2016:

“As secretary of state in 2010, Clinton argued in favor of gas as "the cleanest fossil fuel available for power generation today," and said that "if developed, shale gas could make an important contribution to our region's energy supply, just as it does now for the United States." Her office, meanwhile, promoted fracking in developing nations.”

Electing Hillary Rodham Clinton will mean the assured destruction of our climate and our earth.

There could not be a stronger contrast between candidates - because ...

Jill and Ajamu are committed to doing the exact opposite.

They will confront the fossil fuel industry causing radical climate damage with Innovation, Practicality and Fairness. They will absolutely without a doubt, BAN the practice of fracking.

Will you donate $50 and help them today?

Jill Stein is the o­nly presidential candidate ever to make climate change the centerpiece of her campaign and develop a comprehensive plan focusing her economic plan at clean, renewable energy.According to the Huffington Post in September 2016:

“Dr. Stein wants to empower the EPA and cleanse it of all political and corporate influence. She wants to invest money not into bailing out our predatory banks and perpetually failing automobile industry but into clean energy and green technology. She envisions a major creation of green jobs including constructing green infrastructure, retrofitting homes, sustainable food and agricultural practices and increasing recycling.”

We’re past arguing whether climate change is real or not. People like Gary Johnson and the other climate change deniers must be defeated.  Will you stand with Jill and Ajamu with your $50 donation and help them protect and preserve our planet?

They’re standing for all of us, for our very survival.

In fact, Jill’s Green New Deal promotes a harmony between people and the planet. This includes innovative technologies and practical alternatives to industrial exploitation. It will:

• Preserve the great American agricultural zones which help feed the world AND use its waste to produce fuel
• Reward companies who look for alternatives (Yes, plastics are essential in our modern society, but plastic from oil is not)
• Increase jobs for every skill level - local jobs, in new community grids, will be diverse and rewarding
• Rebuild America, and the world, using “next generation” infrastructure (such as carbon neutral concrete) 

And that’s o­nly the beginning. 

Join the Stein/Baraka Team today with your $50 “declaration of support” for our planet!

Remember …It's in our hands! WE are the o­nes we have been waiting for.

And we have to stand up today, right now, and fight for the greater good as if our lives depend o­n it. Because they do.  

Gloria Mattera
Campaign Chair

P.S. Jill and Ajamu are the o­nly candidates who makes taking action o­n climate change a priority. Our Green New Deal will create 20 million new Living Wage Jobs by transitioning to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2030. Will you join us today?

P.P.S. This is an urgent, unprecedented moment in history, with people everywhere rising up to defend our climate and preserve our planet for generations to come. Please help us keep the momentum going with your donation of $50 or more!

URGENT: 2016 DEBATES PROTEST ALERT!
THE COST OF FREE SPEECH

Dear Leo,

In America, free speech and political change is expensive—and I don't mean the dollar cost.

Yesterday, during the first Presidential Debate, Greens paid dearly for the our right to free speech. Because, in truth, that “right” isn't guaranteed. With each passing election, it becomes more restricted.

Our 24 incredibly brave activists put their lives o­n the line to make sure our message got out—and were arrested for peacefully blocking a street to make our point.

After being held for at least 6 hours, each o­ne was processed, given a date to appear in court and then released in the early morning hours. A jail support team was waiting with food, transportation, housing if needed, cheers and hugs for these committed activists.  

Legal fees and jail support will take money and that's o­ne reason we're writing you today—to ask, can you give to help defray these costs?

The protesters, including our brave 24, were up against over 1,000 police, including a significant number of undercover officers in plainclothes and suits. There were also snipers from the local police's Bureau of Special Operations were o­n rooftops, and uniformed officers lined Hempstead Turnpike.

The police presence included officers from State Police, NYPD, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Suffolk, and Hempstead and Garden City villages. So were members of the FBI, ATF and Secret Service.

In spite of an intense police presence, thousands of engaged citizens converged o­n Hofstra to protest Jill's exclusion Monday afternoon.

Earlier in the day Jill was escorted off the Hofstra campus by campus security and police even though she was invited into the debate site by numerous media outlets who gave her press credentials.  (ABC, CBS, MSNBC, Fox News).

It didn't matter. Getting ejected from the site of the debates, in spite of her credentials, is simply more evidence about how the Commission o­n Presidential Debates puts democracy o­n lockdown and excludes voices outside the 2-party system.

In spite of all of the police and the fact that the “free speech zones” were purposely located far from the debates themselves, we were incredibly successful at getting our message out through the internet. Last night, these were the numbers coming in from our various platforms—and numbers are still rising!

Facebook - over 1 million views; 4.3 million reached
Twitter - 2.8 million impressions 9/26; 7.6 million impressions 9/27
RT America (re-post of our livestream) - 100k views; 800k reached
Periscope - 55k views (Twitter representatives say that this quite impressive given that this was the very first time we used Periscope to broadcast a live feed.)

Total number of impressions: approximately 15 million. And still rising!

If anyone ever needed proof that we're a movement, not just a campaign, social media proves the point. More important, the results show that people are starving for a real choice this year—not the lesser of two evils.

Will you help keep this movement going with your donation?

There are two more debates. Today, we're asking you to dig deep and contribute so that we can mount the same protests—and even larger o­nes—at the next two debates. It's o­ne of our best avenues to getting Jill and Ajamu's message out before November 8th.

Jill and Ajamu are o­n the ballot in 45 states, plenty to win the electoral college. But most voters still don't know about them. YES! I want to help keep this movement going with my donation!

Supporting our "Open Debates" strategy is o­ne way that you can make a very real impact o­n how many American voters hear about their platform: a Green New Deal to create 20 million good jobs and combat climate change, canceling student debt, moving to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2030, an end to police violence and the kind of militarized police that showed up at Hofstra, an end to institutional racism, and so much more.

These goals—these imperatives—are not in our hearts, they're not in our dreams. As Jill says, they're in our hands.

Please give as much as you can today so we can keep spreading the word and building the movement.

Sincerely,

Gloria Mattera
Campaign Chair

P.S. o­ne of our protestors who was arrested was Cheri Honkala, Jill's 2012 running mate. In 2012 she and Jill were both arrested for simply showing up at the debates. They were handcuffed to chairs for 9 hours until the debates were over. That's the true cost of literally changing the debate. Will you help today?

P.P.S. If you've ever doubted that we're living in a police state, 2012 and 2016 are proof positive. YES! I want to give today so that we can continue peaceful protests to draw attention to the Green action plan to turn our nation and our world away from self-destruction. Give today.

Jill2016 Headquarters Alert!

HISTORIC VICTORY IN NATIONWIDE
STATE BALLOT ACCESS!!

Hi Leo, Jill here--

Today, I am declaring victory...sweet victory...in our state ballot access efforts!

And I wanted you to be the first to know!

Because of YOU, the national electorate will be able to vote for me and Ajamu in 48 states (45 plus 3 write-ins).

That’s more than any other Green Party candidates in history - including Ralph Nader in 1996 and 2000! It’s absolutely unprecedented.

But these victories were hard-fought, both by my campaign as well as by the incredible leadership and ground game of our state coordinators and individual petitioners. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into this monumental effort.

And you know what else?

The victories were hard-fought by YOU.

YOU are my hero. You helped.

You gave to choose the greater good over the lesser evil.

You gave to make sure the voters have a real choice o­n November 8th.

You gave as if our lives depended o­n - and they do! You gave because you believed that people, planet, and peace must be put first over profits.

One thing I can definitely say about my supporters is that they’re passionate - passionate about civil rights, jobs, peace, people over profits, and much more. And that was evident from their generosity.

We were blessed and honored to have the ability to spend a total of around $580,000 for legal defenses, ground game, and paid petitioners. We are so grateful that you made that possible - we couldn’t have done it without you!

But just imagine!

What if we had been able to use those resources for campaigning instead? How much more we could have accomplished? How much more visibility and press we could have garnered!

This is why today,Leo, I want to urge you to help us keep this momentum going.

We can’t stop now!

Will you donate today to help us get into the debates?

The presidential debates are a critical element to the success of our campaign. If we can get into the debates, a new day will dawn. Without a doubt - it will be an absolute game-changer.

Evidence is mounting that there is a green “sleeping giant” out there among the national electorate. I would urge you ...

Don’t listen to the national polls!

Because in some states, according to recent news from www.wethepeople.com, Ajamu and I are polling as high as 27%! See this graphic - the green squares are green support … it’s even higher than Hillary Clinton! In Oregon, the polls are even showing to be as high as 69%!

It’s my belief that the American electorate will surge green o­n election day - that there will be some big surprises! How could there not be? We’re talking about Trump and Clinton, two of the most unpopular candidates in history!

The American people want more choices and more voices - and that will be evident o­n November 8th.

Will you donate today?

Help us continue the momentum now and into the future because ... we are the o­nes we have been waiting for.

It’s in our hands!

Green Party Candidate for President of the United States

STEIN/BARAKA HEADQUARTERS ALERT!
ARREST WARRANTS ISSUED FOR JILL AND AJAMU!

For Principled Peaceful Civil Disobedience

Dear Leo,

URGENT! We want you to be the first to know -- warrants of arrest have been issued against Jill and Ajamu for their courageous act of solidarity at the Dakota Pipeline protests.

Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier of Morton county in South Dakota, is charging them with trespassing and criminal mischief. 

And for what? For their commitment to defend the planet and stand in solidarity with the struggle of the Sioux people? For standing with those who are defending their rights to clean water and sacred burial grounds?

Today, we need your help.

Will you support Jill and Ajamu today with a protest donation of $49? Make your voice heard - we need to fight back and we won’t be silenced!

How does the act of Jill and Ajamu’s peaceful civil disobedience compare to the crimes being committed by the fossil fuel industry - threatening the water of millions and using dog and pepper spray attacks o­n peaceful protectors of the land.

Sheriff Kirchmeier should be charging the oil company with crimes, not the protectors. In a recent statement to the press the sheriff was even quoted as saying, “We must do everything we can to marginalize these protestors.”

This kind of corruption and double standard exposes the class interests and political interests of the state o­nce again. Will you give a protest donation $49 today and help us today?

During the event, Jill had this to say:

“We are facing a climate emergency that requires us to halt any further investment in fossil fuel infrastructure, and instead to transition to 100% clean energy as soon as possible,” stated Stein.

She added “North Dakota authorities should be pressing charges against the real vandalism taking place at the Standing Rock Sioux reservation -- bulldozing sacred burial sites, unleashing vicious attack dogs, endangering drinking water and pushing us toward climate meltdown."

Energy Transfer is the name of the oil company responsible for the Dakota Access Pipeline, and apparently, our campaign is giving them a big headache.

It’s apparent because they seem to be collaborating with their cronies at the state level - pulling out all the stops to issue arrest warrants for Jill and Ajamu!

We are the thorn in their side, the rock in their shoe - and glad to be.

As Ajamu Baraka, our vice presidential candidate, said:

“Our campaign is all about standing up to the rich and powerful who believe in their right to exploit the rest of the planet’s beings and resources for their own profit. The state should be prosecuting the crimes of threatening the water of millions and the attacks o­n peaceful protestors.”

The political revolution continues here. We will not stand by and watch the destruction of our planet and the brutal treatment of our First Nation brothers and sisters.

Hundreds of thousands are joining us. Will you?

Let's give the fossil fuel industry a run for their money. Please stand with us today with your protest donation and help us put people, peace, and the planet over profits!

If you don’t, who will? As we say... it's in our hands!

Make your voice heard by donating today!

Gloria Mattera
Campaign Chair
Jill Stein for President

P.S. The Stein/Baraka campaign will not stand for this criminal behavior from the oil companies. The fossil fuel industry is going to hear our voices loud and clear. Will you join us and let your voice be heard too?

P.P.S. By standing in unconditional solidarity with them in this fight, Jill and Ajamu are standing strong for our very collective survival. Will you stand with Jill and Ajamu as they fight to protect the earth and stand in full solidarity with Native People in their struggle for justice?

Dear Leo --

I wanted you to be among the first to hear our fantastic news: the FEC has officially approved our campaign for federal matching funds!

We expect to get our first matching funds check of $100,000 this week, and a second check for $130,000 in short order.

What are federal matching funds? Well, the bottom line is that now, every dollar you give our campaign up to $250 will be doubled with federal money.

And here’s the best part: we can double every person’s donation from February 2015 through at least the beginning of August 2016!

Will you help us keep our momentum growing by chipping in $3 today? Your donation will be instantly doubled by federal matching funds!

This is a monumental achievement. This year, we qualified for matching funds nearly 8 months earlier than in our 2012 campaign. In fact, thanks to thousands of visionary supporters like you, we qualified earlier than any Green campaign in history!

That’s because voters like you are fed up with the the failed, predatory political duopoly. Our campaign offers a very real alternative to both establishment parties, with bold, achievable solutions o­n everything from building a new Green economy and stopping climate change, to solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and legalizing marijuana.

And every solution puts people and planet first.

Please add your first $3 contribution to our campaign today. It will be automatically doubled to $6 through federal matching funds!

The powers that be, particularly Secretary Clinton, call anything other than the same old corporate politics “pie in the sky”.

In fact, the other night a top Clinton surrogate told a small crowd that Hillary Clinton was under attack, and her supporters needed to "stand up and fight back, stand up against those idealists." This while Hillary was busy collecting up to $353,000 per couple at George Clooney’s house.

Who wants a president who scorns idealism and vision? Who wants a president who is completely bought by the billionaire class?

Big, bold ideas built this country, and big, bold, Green ideas will save it and our planet. We have an incredible chance this year to shape the conversation, the agenda, and the solutions to our nation’s problems and the global challenges we face like stopping climate crisis and making world peace.

Voters like you are hungry for politicians who solve problems, not pass the buck. No wonder our campaign is getting increased media attention daily from CNN, NBC, C-SPAN and others, and more and more influential voices are lifting up our campaign every day.

Your donation will help us keep ramping up our campaign and creating the kind of visibility that will change American politics forever.

It’s long past time to put an end to the obscene greed of the billionaire class… the terrible reality of citizens bankrupted or dying because we don’t have national health care... students struggling for 20 years or more to pay off crushing college debt… and a dangerously polluted, warming planet to leave our children and future generations.

Qualifying for Federal Matching Funds means many, many people like you already support our message and solutions.

Dear Leo --

After the epic failure of the corporate-friendly Paris Climate Summit to produce a binding, substantive treaty, we the people must lead the way to end the use of destructive fossil fuels and choose a just and clean energy future.

Unless America rapidly and radically alters course, we are headed towards climate catastrophe.

That’s why I’m headed to Washington State to support the international Break Free from Fossil Fuels campaign. I’m excited to join the Indigenous Day of Action march and rally in Anacortes, WA o­n Saturday May 14.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration earlier this month warned that sea levels could rise by roughly three meters or nine feet by 2050-2060, confirming a warning from Dr. James Hansen and other leading scientists.

This news is the equivalent of a World War II attack not merely o­n Pearl Harbor, but o­n all harbors.

All coastal population centers partly or completely underwater. Maritime trade, over. Hundreds of millions of climate refugees. Coastal nuclear power plants, flooded. An epidemic of Fukushimas.

In other words, this foretells events so catastrophic, they cannot be allowed to occur.

From May 4th to 15, climate justice activists are mobilizing worldwide to keep fossil fuels in the ground and accelerate a just transition to 100% renewable energy and a sustainable future for us all. Direct actions – including nonviolent civil disobedience - are being planned at locations all over the world.

I urge everyone who is able to participate in the six regional demonstrations being planned across the US. I’m taking part in demonstrations at the Shell and Tesoro refineries near Anacortes, WA which are the largest source of carbon pollution in the Northwest and refine 47% of all the gas and diesel consumed in the region.

Other major US actions will take place in Los Angeles; Albany NY; Chicago; DC; and Denver.

Saying yes to wind, water and solar also means immediately saying no to fossil fuels, including natural gas.

Transitioning to 100% clean energy is the path to full employment and a healthier community. It's also the o­nly way forward to a future in which we can survive and thrive.

We need to mobilize like we did after Pearl Harbor to rapidly transition to 100% clean energy.

Please help us build the movement to make it happen by signing and sharing my call for a Green New Deal today!

Climate change is the single greatest threat to the survival of humanity o­n the planet. It requires immediate action for a revolutionary transformation of our society. I hope you'll join me to make that transformation happen.

It’s in our hands!

Dear Leo --

The 2016 primary season is exposing a crisis of democracy in America.

The prevalence of voter suppression, from voters forced to stand in line for five hours in Arizona to over o­ne hundred thousand voters purged from the rolls in New York, is inexcusable.

Meanwhile in North Carolina, a federal judge has upheld new voting restrictions, including a voter ID law that will disproportionately block poor and minority voters from the polls.

It’s no secret that reducing voter turnout benefits the political establishment.

It’s time to bring real democracy to America by eliminating unfair barriers to voting and ensuring every vote counts.

Join my call to establish a Constitutional right to vote today!

It may surprise you that the US Constitution does not explicitly guarantee our right to vote. That’s why establishing an explicit Constitutional right to vote is critical to overcoming voter suppression.

Across the country, we see people who do everything they’re supposed to, yet their votes are not counted due to the negligence of election officials. All too often, these disenfranchised voters are disappeared from official election results with no legal recourse.

An explicit Constitutional right to vote would empower Americans to challenge systemic voter suppression and restore the integrity of our elections.

If you’re concerned about the wave of voter suppression, add your voice to the call to establish a Constitutional right to vote!

Voter suppression issues in state after state are symptomatic of an electoral system designed to prop up the establishment political parties.

We see the same pattern everywhere that partisan appointees control the electoral process: the establishment gains power, and the voters lose power.

It’s time to take control of elections away from the parties, and put them in the hands of the people through independent citizen boards in charge of everything from voter registration to redistricting.

It’s also past time to discard the obsolete first-past-the-post voting system and adopt improved voting systems already used successfully around the world.

The current voting system has most voters feeling trapped between two parties that are growing more and more out of touch with the American people.

With polls showing record unpopularity for the Democratic and Republican front-runners, we’re facing the repugnant prospect of a general election where more voters are voting against what they fear than are voting for what they believe in.

We can solve the ‘lesser-evil’ dilemma in a heartbeat by enacting Ranked Choice Voting, which ensures that if your first choice doesn’t win, your vote is automatically reassigned to your second choice, freeing voters to support the candidates they most agree with.

And to bring real democracy to the United States, we need proportional representation, which gives you the freedom to vote for the representation you want, knowing that’s what you’ll get.

Countries with proportional representation, which includes most Western democracies, have significantly higher voter turnout because people are more likely to participate in democracy when they know their voice will be represented, even when they’re in the minority.

All of these reforms - proportional representation, ranked choice voting, independent election boards, and more - would move America closer to real democracy and help break the grip of the elite special interests who have hijacked our government.

But it all starts with fighting back against voter suppression, and the best way to do that is with an explicit Constitutional right to vote.

Sign and share my call for a Constitutional right to vote today!

By standing together for our fundamental right to vote, we can build an unstoppable movement for an America, and a world, that works for all of us.

It’s in our hands!

Dear Leo --

As a medical doctor and public health advocate, people ask me all the time if marijuana is dangerous.

Yes, marijuana is dangerous - because it’s illegal. It’s not inherently dangerous. It’s certainly less harmful than alcohol and tobacco, which are perfectly legal.

The real danger of marijuana is the violence of the underground drug economy created by prohibition.

Legalizing marijuana will end that violence, much like ending alcohol prohibition ended the violence of the illegal alcohol economy.

Join my call to legalize marijuana nationwide!

Yes, legalize it. It’s time to take marijuana off the black market, end crime and violence related to marijuana trafficking, stop wasting money and ruining lives by prosecuting victimless crimes, reduce prison populations, increase tax revenue, allow sick people their medicine, let farmers grow marijuana and hemp, and give responsible adults their freedom by legalizing it!

As President, o­ne of my first actions would be to order the DEA and the Justice Department to cease and desist all attempts to harass or prosecute medical marijuana clinics or other legitimate marijuana-related businesses that are operating under state laws.

I would also direct DEA to remove marijuana from Schedule 1, the most dangerous category of drugs, and place it in a more appropriate category as determined by medical science.

Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia currently have laws legalizing marijuana in some form. Four states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for recreational use.

Since the first retail marijuana stores opened o­n January 1st, 2014, the state of Colorado has benefited from a decrease in crime rates, a decrease in traffic fatalities, an increase in tax revenue and economic output from retail marijuana sales, and an increase in jobs.

And hundreds of thousands of patients suffering from chronic pain and cancers are benefiting from the availability of medical marijuana under state laws.

Like Colorado, we can regulate marijuana in a similar way to alcohol o­nce it’s legal.

This would prevent billions of dollars in profits from pouring into the black market, and would greatly reduce the violence associated with illegal marijuana sales, including the drug wars ravaging Mexico and Central America.

It just makes sense - sign and share my call to legalize marijuana nationwide today!

Make no mistake, ending marijuana prohibition would be a huge win for freedom and social justice, and a major step towards the just, Green future we deserve.

It’s in our hands!

Dear Leo --

I wanted you to be among the first to hear our fantastic news: the FEC has officially approved our campaign for federal matching funds!

We expect to get our first matching funds check of $100,000 this week, and a second check for $130,000 in short order.

What are federal matching funds? Well, the bottom line is that now, every dollar you give our campaign up to $250 will be doubled with federal money.

And here’s the best part: we can double every person’s donation from February 2015 through at least the beginning of August 2016!

Will you help us keep our momentum growing by chipping in $3 today? Your donation will be instantly doubled by federal matching funds!

This is a monumental achievement. This year, we qualified for matching funds nearly 8 months earlier than in our 2012 campaign. In fact, thanks to thousands of visionary supporters like you, we qualified earlier than any Green campaign in history!

That’s because voters like you are fed up with the the failed, predatory political duopoly. Our campaign offers a very real alternative to both establishment parties, with bold, achievable solutions o­n everything from building a new Green economy and stopping climate change, to solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and legalizing marijuana.

And every solution puts people and planet first.

Dear Leo --

This tax day, let’s talk about the number o­ne way the US government wastes our money.

The best way to rein in wasteful federal spending is to slash the dangerously bloated military budget by at least 50%.

In addition to bankrupting us financially and morally, the inflated military budget has created a trigger-happy foreign policy, leading to disastrous military interventions and regime change. In the Middle East, this has produced failed states, mass refugee migrations, and ever-worsening terrorist threats.

Instead of needless and destructive wars that make us less safe, not more safe, it’s time to bring our tax dollars home to rebuild America. We can build real security by funding schools, creating jobs, providing universal healthcare, repairing our infrastructure and funding the transition to 100% clean renewable energy.

Join my call to cut military spending by at least 50% and bring our tax dollars home today!

Over half of federal discretionary spending, the portion of the federal budget decided by Congress each year, goes to military spending. President Obama has requested roughly $600 billion for this year’s Pentagon budget. If we include spending o­n nuclear weapons, Veterans Administration costs, and the military’s portion of the national debt, we are spending over $1 trillion o­n the military each year.

In comparison, federal spending in other areas like education, agriculture, transportation, housing, science, energy and the environment is miniscule. For example, military spending is 25 times greater than the budget for energy and the environment, at a time when even the Pentagon admits that climate change is a dire and growing threat to our security.

President Eisenhower’s dire warnings about the military industrial complex acquiring undue power over our government and stifling democracy have come true.

Far too much of the military budget has become wasteful corporate welfare, and war profiteers drive our foreign policy. In 2014, military contractors gave $8.9 million to Democrats and and $13.5 million to Republicans in Congress.

Profit-driven military adventurism is not making us more secure, it’s making the world more dangerous for Americans and everyone else. We need to refocus our military o­n defending our country, not dominating the globe.

Join my call to slash military spending and reinvest in real security today!

As President, I would remove American troops from unnecessary bases around the world. The US spends a hundred billion dollars per year maintaining over 1,000 military facilities in more than 130 countries.

Much of what we spend our military budget o­n is morally wrong. We have killed and destroyed the lives of millions of civilians in wars for oil. We routinely invest American tax dollars in propping up governments and dictators that systematically violate the human rights of their own citizens. The escalation of the use of drones under the Obama administration has killed an untold number of civilians.

I would also root out the massive corruption in military spending. A failed attempt to audit the Department of Defense during the Clinton administration found that $2.3 trillion of $7 trillion in transactions could not be justified, suggesting that up to a third of DOD expenses may be due to waste or fraud.

War profiteering by military contractors - which has been rampant in Iraq and Afghanistan - should be eliminated and prosecuted. The revolving door between government and military contractors must be shut.

We would save up to a trillion dollars in coming years by canceling obsolete or unnecessary projects like the F-35, the new strategic bomber, and the Littoral Combat Ship. We would save an additional trillion dollars over a decade by canceling the development of new nuclear weapons, which threatens to start a dangerous new nuclear arms race.

Today we must take seriously Dr. Martin Luther King’s warning that “a nation that continues year after year to spend more money o­n military defense than o­n programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.”

By cutting dangerous military spending and making the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, we can lower taxes for the vast majority of Americans, and ensure that our tax dollars go towards the things that actually improve our lives: jobs, education, healthcare, and preventing climate catastrophe.

At the same time, we can improve national and global security, with a foreign policy founded o­n international law and human rights, not o­n maximizing profits for the weapons industry.

Help me build a movement to make it happen: sign and share my call to cut military spending by at least 50% and bring our tax dollars home to rebuild America!

Dear Leo --

The student debt crisis is real. 43 million Americans and counting are now shackled to over $1.3 trillion in student loan debt. And the average class of 2015 graduate with student loans has over $35,000 of debt.

This is inexcusable. Why does our country force young people who want an education to become indentured servants to Wall Street?

Join my call to cancel student debt and make higher education free today!

I’m supporting the Million Student March Against Racism and Student Debt, taking place at campuses across the country today, because burdening young people with crushing debt holds back not o­nly their personal potential, but the potential of our entire society.

We’ve all heard the argument that higher education is a ticket to good jobs, so students should have to pay for it. But that’s not true in today’s low-wage, part-time, insecure economy.

The truth is that even before tuition rates and student loans started skyrocketing in recent years, the cost of higher education was a major barrier to economic and social mobility in the US.

The socioeconomic and racial disparities in higher education today are simply intolerable. Forget the myth of “meritocracy” - our higher education system reinforces inequality.

Too many young people are unable to afford education at all, and too many of those who do take loans are unable to find good jobs after they graduate.

These students know that without higher education they will have no economic security, but all too often the reward for getting a college degree is in reality a punishment - from which there is no escape.

I have heard countless heartbreaking stories of people - some who graduated decades ago - who are saddled with crushing student debt, no matter how hard they work.

These people did nothing wrong but try to improve their lives through education. Instead they find themselves pinned down by debt for years, decades, even lifetimes.

This is quite simply a predatory system that needs to be abolished.

Join my call to cancel student debt and make higher education free today!

We bailed out bankers who crashed our economy with $4 trillion worth of quantitative easing. Why not bail out our students?

Using quantitative easing to repay $1.3 trillion in student debt would unleash enormous productivity and creative power, providing a major boost to the real economy.

Abolishing this illegitimate debt would free young people to use their ingenuity and creativity to re-imagine our economy and society, as each generation must.

And after we free o­ne generation from Wall Street, we can do the same for future generations by making higher education free, as many other countries have already done.

We know that free higher education pays for itself: when the GI Bill offered free college education to soldiers returning from World War II, every taxpayer dollar invested in free higher education was returned 7 times over in increased tax revenue and other public benefits.

Making higher education free is not o­nly the right thing to do, it just makes good economic sense.

The o­nly thing standing in the way is the profit-hungry Wall Street bankers who fund both the Democratic and Republican parties.

But we can beat them.

All we have to do is get the word out to 43 million Americans that they can check the Green box to cancel their student debt this November.

43 million people in debt - plus supportive family members - is a winning plurality of the vote. So we can actually win the election o­n the power of this issue alone.

You can help by signing and sharing my call to cancel student debt and make higher education free today.

A future free of student debt really is in our hands!

Dear Leo --

The bombshell Panama Papers leak reveals where the global economic and political elite converge in the shadowy world of tax havens. It's a wake-up call that today’s world has become the textbook definition of oligarchy: rule by a few wealthy elites.

And the stage was set for rampant secrecy, corruption and inequality by trade agreements championed by Democrats and Republicans alike. In fact, President Obama pushed through a trade agreement with Panama despite warnings that it was an open invitation to massive tax evasion.

We need to scrap the bipartisan consensus o­n trade that has enriched the global elite while throwing jobs, workers’ rights, environmental protections and financial regulation under the bus.

Join my call to replace rigged, secretive “free trade” agreements with transparent fair trade today!

Today our world is run by the wealthiest of the wealthy, who buy and market politicians like any other commodity.

One such politician is Bill Clinton, whose enduring political legacy is being the salesman for corporate globalization. Clinton took the selling of our political system to special interests to a whole new level, and in return those special interests have fueled his and Hillary’s fortunes, both political and personal.

One of the major achievements of Bill Clinton’s presidency was pushing through NAFTA with bipartisan support in Congress. President Obama also pushed through additional free trade agreements shortly after taking office, including the deal with Panama.

The Panama Papers leak shows how the global elite and their sponsored politicians have made obscene profits from the predatory enterprises that thrive in the shadows of the globalized economy.

This should be the last straw. We’ve seen enough to know that this global economic order is corrupt, unjust, and unsustainable. It needs to be replaced now - starting with trade deals.

Sign and share my call to replace corporate trade agreements with fair trade today!

Fair trade means trade agreements that are written and approved transparently and democratically, and that strengthen workers’ rights, environmental protections, and financial regulations, rather than weakening them.

Replacing “free trade” with fair trade is a first step to rolling back the power of the oligarchs, which has been rapidly overtaking whatever democracy America had.

The Supreme Court has sanctioned the buying of elections by a handful of rich individuals, while approving the disenfranchisement of tens of millions of Americans from the voting booth.

We know the establishment parties won’t act to help us. After the Republican Party joined with the Democrats to willingly ship millions of jobs overseas in exchange for campaign cash from trade lobbyists, GOP candidates for President are cynically trying to harness the anger of the working people whose futures they sold. Meanwhile, the Democratic front runner is a paid spokesperson for the global corporate elite.

What’s truly shocking is that so many billionaires lack even the basic decency to pay taxes to their country like the rest of us.

As President, I will ensure that the rich pay their fair share of taxes so that we can provide all Americans with education, jobs, healthcare, and other necessities.

Together we can create an America and a world that works for all of us.

It’s in our hands!
