"Je Suis Charlie has become an arrogant rallying cry for white supremacy that was echoed at the white power march on Sunday in Paris and in....Charlie Hebdo"
Submitted by paradigmshift on Fri, 08/05/2016 - 3:17amI'd like to think of myself as someone who works to achieve peaceful resolution to disagreements. I am very future focused and tend to avoid conflict and in the case of verbal disagreements will defer to avoid conflict. That being said here I go.....Right now progressives need a leader and I thought that Jill Stein could be that person. But the selection of Ajamu Baraka has called into question that assumption.

It can be so hard to get people to think beyond the surface. Who can blame them? I mean who has the time?

Getting Jill on the Ballot in KS
Submitted by TheJerry on Tue, 07/26/2016 - 6:35pmHi,
Got email from Jill Stein about their push to get on the ballot in Kansas, they have a deadline of August 1st. Their volunteers have been working for 2 months but only have 1/4 of the signatures they need.
So they have resorted to hiring petitioners to get signatures, and they need quite a few more.
They are using matching funds, so every dollar you contribute will be matched 1:1, up to $250.

I wanted you to hear it from me first: we blew past our goal of $500,000 in donations eligible for 1:1 federal matching funds--for a total of $1 million!
