Moneybomb for Jill Stein - $19.99 on July 19th – Let's help presidential candidate Jill Stein get on state ballots and build up name recognition

Submitted by paradigmshift on Fri, 07/15/2016 - 5:22pm

Let's have a “1999 for Stein” Moneybomb on Tuesday, July 19th for Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein. The 99 cents is to show that we want candidates who represent the 99%, not just the 1%.

Federal matching funds end on August 6th for Jill. Whatever you give right now is doubled by the Feds. So, up until August 6th, if you give $25 to Jill, then she gets $50; if you give $100, she gets $200. Let's donate to Jill and get those federal matching funds. We don’t have the Koch Brothers or Wall Street to fund our candidate.

Please spread this idea on blogs, forums, Facebook, and Twitter; and to friends and family.

Jill needs funds to get on more state ballots so we can vote for her. 16 states have deadlines between July 25th and August 30th. Meeting this many deadlines is going to require many organizers and petitioners (and funds to support them).

Jill is currently polling at 7%. We need to get her to 15% and put her in the Presidential debates (does anyone want a debate with only Trump and Clinton?). Tell other people you are going to donate $19.99 to Stein on Tuesday, July 19th. And if they ask, then tell them about Jill.

Thanks, paradigm... will do!

I donated to Jill this week, and I'll do so again next week.

I shared this over at

Kossacks for sanders.

This is what I posted in Leu2500's Reddit thread:

http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2016/07/15/jill-stein-if-b...

Scroll down, video of Stein talking to an interviewer in Burlington. Jill Stein is an articulate speaker. She mentions that they're getting $27 donations, and that was their key for knowing Bernie supporters were donating to Stein's campaign. I like that symbolism.

I also like the idea of twenty dollar donations..., Roman numeral for 20 = XX = two X chromosomes for those who want a female president but would never in a million years vote "for" $Hillary under any circumstances, no matter what.

I'm sure Stein's campaign would appreciate any amount, including little piddly amounts that people like me can afford ($5, $10) because of being on Social Security (which puts me in the official category of "below poverty" income).

OK. I was donating to her this weekend so I will add the 99.eom

I'm in.

I maxed out to Sanders. Probably will to Stein, too.

Edit: Just shared this on the JillStein subreddit (/r/jillstein), too.

Stein only raised

$800,000 in 2012, including matching funds.

Submitted by BayAreaLefty on Fri, 07/15/2016 - 8:37pm

Hopefully we can match that in a couple of weeks.

Even keeping the cauldron bubbling is important. I'm going to organize a canvassing organization for her. I'll be a familiar face to my neighbors again!

Edit: She's raised $700,000 this cycle already. What are the odds of her pushing $2M?

They are pretty happy about the $700K.

I was just over there and the amount was posted. I stumbled across some crt trolling on a couple of posts. They are working on some mod rules. I hope they can keep the trolling traffic down. Stein will be the focus of that group now. I think I will lurk there for a while until they get a good groove going.

$27.99 from me

The $27 is to show it's from a Bernie supporter.

no offense to Jill

I filled out the info and went to the pay page/credit card and stopped. I didn't see any security info or anything. It looked a little hinky to me. I guess I'll send her a check via snail mail...

Submitted by BayAreaLefty on Fri, 07/15/2016 - 9:54pm

It's over a secure transport. Or at least it was for me.

Thanks, I'll try it again n/t

Checked that out

From Firefox browse, click "tools", "page info", "security" and the technical details shows "high grade encryption", so it looks to be secure.

On another donation issue, I use Paypal whenever possible so I don't give out my credit card info to anyone else. Paypal is not an option on the regular Jill Stein donation page, and I inquired about that. There is a special Jill Stein Paypal donation page here, though they say it does not qualify for the current matching funds per FCC regulation (FCC needs to change that). You can also go to their regular donation page and add "_paypal" (underscore, paypal) to the URL, refresh and you're at the donate via Paypal page.
