Press release via twitter
A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
Medicare was a loss on platform push, what next?
Maybe this is the wrong place for that question.

Steven, flying or driving?
You going down Friday or before?
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
Driving down on Thurs
We have a lot of stuff to do Friday before convention on Friday.

Steven ...

I'm so excited!
I fly into Philly on the 22nd and plan to attend the People's Convention all day Saturday.
I'm especially psyched to hear what Tasini, Turner, and of course, Jill Stein have to say!
I plan on volunteering for Jill upon my return to AZ so I'm hoping to get some pointers at the People's Convention.
