(READ EXCERPTS FROM DR. STEIN’S ANNOUNCEMENT):
Dazzled by the efforts of the truly invincible cadre of folks who braved this summer’s scorched sidewalks to collect the signatures needed to place GRP candidates on the ballot, impressed all over again with our gubernatorial candidate’s eloquent grasp of pressing issues and ability to weave them together with both sense and grace, pleased to meet my comrades once again on the same Statehouse steps we did when Jill Stein announced her candidacy on a chill March morning, I for one am feeling downright re-invigorated. No, all’s not well with the world. Far from it. But we’re ready to go to war to make it well, and all of us–in the party, in the movement, and, in fact, all of us across the commonwealth, who’ve been delivered a choice we didn’t have yesterday–owe a real debt to those who labored indefatigably to ensure our candidates would be on the ballot–and in the freaking debates–and to the slate of candidates–Jill Stein & Rick Purcell, Nat Fortune, and Scott Lagenour–who are looking simply to give a real voice, not to party partisans, not to big-time donors, but to citizens like themselves (we’ll shortly be adding the tireless Mark Miller to that list).
From the heart: thank you.
Of course … that was the easy part. To get involved with stage two, please visit Democracy Days.
This won’t work for everyone, but it still does it for me. Some Shakespeare for you.
