I wrote an essay some time ago, Election reform and voter rights: a legislative agenda, in which the first two paragraphs read:
Moneybomb! Donate $19.99 to Jill Stein today, Tuesday 19th, to support her campaign, get on state ballots, and increase name recognition. We want a Real Progressive in the Presidential Debates.
Go here to donate $19.99, $27 or X (99 indicates we want candidates who represent the "99 percent"). Then post about your donation and the Moneybomb on blogs, forums, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
There was some talk of the Progressives and the Political Revolution doing a money bomb for Jill Stein on 7/19 in amount of $19.99. (The 99 cents symbolizing the 99%).
I am writing this post to support and promote this idea, and am hoping it goes viral! 
Here we are folks, less than a week until the Democratic National Convention and the countdown finally begins. Cue the curtain call to political theater; we've seen this all before. So then why do I feel something is different this time? Maybe because we are hoping all of Bernie's delegates make it to the floor, crash through the veneer of bullshit, and become the voices of 12 million people who were jilted by the Democratic Party.
Looks like he got the once over for having campaigned for HRC when he is not allowed to do so.
Dear Hillary Clinton,
Two years of protesting police shootings have achieved very little.
This is a fact beyond question.
YMCA of Metro Chicago has issued guidelines for accommodating transgender members and guests. They allow access to restrooms and changing areas matching gender identity.
The protocol was explained in a letter posted Wednesday on the organization's website. The YMCA of Metro Chicago said it also sent the letter to its 140,000 members at its 21 Chicagoland centers. The guidelines will cover all YMCA of Metro Chicago programs and services, from gym and pool facilities to summer camps and various classes. The policies wouldn't apply to some smaller, independent YMCA's in the Chicago area.
We recognize our commitment in support of the rights of all individuals can cause some to feel uncomfortable.. Again, it's our goal for all members to thrive at the Y, and this is why we will do our best to support each of you while maintaining an environment that reflects the inclusive values we share.
--Dick Malone, YMCA of Metro Chicago
Sorry, I don't have enough time to write as much as I'd like. In the meantime, please watch my new YouTube video about the necessity of protesting the DNC in Philadelphia.
