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.”

The Cons on both sides of the corporate aisle are not on your side.

“A vote for Clinton is a vote for austerity, for imperialism, and for the augmented perpetual war regime established under her tenure as Secretary of State.”

Supporting Sanders sends the wrong message

“In 2016, we need to make sure there is a ballot line for any independent left or socialist candidate to contest the corporate party lackeys running for office.”

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.

We can vote values instead of fear…

“power concedes nothing without a demand” That demand needs happen in streets, communities, schools and in the voting booth.”

Black Lives Matter to Jill Stein!

“Ignorance and prejudice are the handmaidens of propaganda. Our mission, therefore, is to confront ignorance with knowledge, bigotry with tolerance, and isolation with the outstretched hand of generosity. Racism can, will, and must be defeated.” ― Kofi Annan

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.”

Murder in Cincinnati: Body Cam Video Released – Ray Tensing Charged With Murder of Sam Dubose

oe Deters, the Hamilton County Prosecutor, said this murder was “Another asinine, senseless shooting.” Deters went on to say that Dubose “Didn’t deserve to be shot in the head” and that “he didn’t even deserve to be tased.”

The video released today contradicts Officer Tensing’s prior statements. As seen in the video, Dubose was asked to unbuckle his seat belt and step out of the vehicle. Dubose apparently moved his foot off the brake, which caused the car to move. Without hesitation, the officer drew his weapon and fired, striking Dubose in the head. He was not being dragged by the vehicle, nor was his life in danger.

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.

Bernie backs American aggression

Bernie Sanders, George Bush, Barack Obama, Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronnie Reagan, Elizabeth Warren and the rest of the Millionaire’s Glee Club agree on continued aggression abroad to enhance the corporate bottom line.

Bernie Sanders has no answers. He is invested in endless war, regardless of the costs…

“Sanders not only defends military contracts that benefit his constituents in Vermont, he also joined the 100 to 0 vote in the Senate to give unalloyed moral and political support to the state of Israel during its most recent bombing campaign against Gaza.”

Violence, Beatings, Murder and War are not “Solutions.”

The way to stop the killing is to stop the killing. A primary example is the death penalty. It is now illegal in 20 states but 32 states keep murdering prisoners anyhow. Some killed are innocents who committed no crime.

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.
