Vol. XXXIV, Number 7 July 2015
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.
“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.”
“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”
―Martin Luther King, Jr.
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.
Some cases are more clear-cut than others, but all of them raise questions about the use of force — like shooting to kill — in policing. They also prompt scrutiny of how cops confront people with mental illnesses:
Republicans work for the Fortune 500 and brag about it.
Democrats work for the Fortune 500 and lie about it.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So if you lose in this nomination fight, will you support the Democratic nominee?
SANDERS: Yes. I have in the past.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Not going to run as an independent?
SANDERS: No, absolutely not. I’ve been very clear about that.
Bernie Sanders is this election’s Democratic sheepdog.
If we want to talk about education reform in America, we need to talk about Dr. Jill Stein. With … More
The money we could save with universal, nonprofit, single-payer health care would be enough to provide health care for everybody. And we deserve that.
“Our generation is on the verge of the most profound catastrophe the human species has ever faced.”
We make a difference. So let corporate copy-cats vote their fears if they must. But we are under attack and it’s time we stand up and fight back. No justice, no peace. No fear, no compromise and no surrender. We can Shine with Stein. 😉

“We know Bernie supports Hillary. Hillary has promised to attack Iran. To take the White House, all Jill Stein has to do is tell the truth.”
But Jill Stein Walks the Talk on Peace, Justice & Freedom
by Ending Wars of Choice, Securing the Peace, and Endorsing Responsible Gun Ownership
“Don’t let them talk you out of your power. They want you to think that you are powerless, that you have to go to the polls and vote for one of the Wall Street sponsored candidates. But, remember, what that means is not just wasting your vote on more of what’s hurting you, it’s actually using your vote as a weapon against yourself. In fact, you are the most powerful thing out there.”
Jill Stein
Stein is endorsed for President by Noam Chomsky, a linguist, author and activist, and by Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and war correspondent, among others. There are good reasons why the best and brightest support Dr. Stein. She asks the right questions, knows the answers and is willing to risk challenging the war machine. We should have her back.
“Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatsoever to do with it.”
― W. Somerset Maugham
“The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.” ~Oscar Wilde
“Hillary supports unending wars of choice and would continue the Bush-Obama-Clinton-Trump agenda. More war, munitions, bodies, and coffins… from across the globe, for the corporate bottom line and on our dime.”
