Blues with a feeling…

Writing, poetry, creative expression and the blues have everything to do with good, evil and the difference between.

Demolished Man?

“Life is a freak. That’s its hope and glory.”

“…the question that bothers most Muslims is the idea that just because someone says they are Muslim or that their actions are representative of Islam doesn’t make it so.”

Stein will shut down corporate wars!

In the words of Alice Walker, ‘the biggest way people give up power is by not knowing they have it.’ We have it.”

Abusive American Cops: bigger problem than most admit

“These problems aren’t rare, they aren’t isolated, and they are taking an enormous human and financial toll on our country. If we are to ever properly address this problem, we cannot do so if we do not honestly admit its expansive size, scope and depth.”

Dr. Jill Stein offers better choices… She sees Snowden as a hero.

in the world we deserve, I would welcome Edward Snowden home a hero, and release Chelsea Manning, Jeffrey Sterling, Julian Assange and other courageous truth tellers with praise and reparations. Their actions are essential for preserving our imperiled democracy in the face of secretive, unaccountable corporate government.

Do peace, justice and freedom matter?

“Those who insist on pretending we only can choose between Democrats and Republicans must learn how to think outside the corporate box. We have 36 years of evidence that unending war is not the answer. “

Moonbeams and more…

“With instruments such as the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have discovered a bewildering amount of cosmic turf, and yet they still know of only a single inhabited world.”

When Angels get the Blues…

“I got the blues thinking of the future, so I left off and made some marmalade. It’s amazing how it cheers one up to shred oranges and scrub the floor.”

Lawsuit Against Phony Debate Commission Filed

Note: The Commission on Presidential Debates is a charade. It may have a name that sounds official but in fact it is a corporation created by Democratic and Republican political operatives and funded by big business interests to keep independent parties like the Green and Libertatian Party as well as independent candidates out of the presidential debates.

The right-wing record of Bernie Sanders

Last fall, when members of Code Pink and Occupy confronted him about his failure to oppose Israel’s attack on the Gaza civilian population, Bernie took an evasive liberal position, criticizing the Palestinians who were resisting as much or more than the Zionists. He then called the police on us.

President Jill Stein

Under a Stein presidency, the military economy will transition into a green economy, with decreased dependence on fossil fuels and an end to subsidies for military contractors We will shut down the wars,
rebuild the nation and export knowledge, technology and peace instead of terror, munitions and war.
And it is about time.

Love Notes: faith, truth, science and fiction

“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”
―James A. Baldwin

No Surrender to fear: embrace Courage

Dr. Jill Stein has a plan for revolutionary change. She will put everyday people back in charge.

There are more of us…

“Our strategy should be
not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it.” Arundhati Roy

In 2016, if war was working for you, your choice was Clinton or Trump. But a better choice was peace and a Green New Deal.

Dr. Jill Stein can provide the critical transition from exporting munitions, terror and war… to exporting knowledge, technology and peace in our time.

Power to the People: A Green New Deal

“The minute we stand up, we are unstoppable. It’s time to forget the lesser evil and fight for the greater good. The clock is ticking. It’s in our hands.”

~Dr. Jill Stein

Dr. Jill Stein is running for president

We need peace with honor. Shut down the corporate wars and reinvest in peace and productivity instead of bombs. The bottom line is peace or war. The only potential president with an offer on the table which begins with peace is Doctor Jill Stein. She can lead this nation to healing, recovery and reconstruction.

Humans can embrace peace. Courage ends war.

“Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
