I am impressed with Jill Stein’s commitment to education reform.  Her understanding of the issues and her positions for change come from the consideration of the human condition, instead of from the “how to” section of the Wall Street Journal.  The current leadership, both state and federal, are going in the wrong direction to resolve the issues that create so much failure and not enough success.  If Jill Stein can get her message out loud and clear to communities across the state, I have a feeling she will win a lot of support from not only the educators but parents as well.  I hope that she will speak strong and often about this issue.

We had a gathering in town today and I have 6 more people seriously considering a vote for Jill Stein.  They said they were already taking a look at her candidacy, so our discussing it only

helps to push a “yes” vote forward.  It’s so easy; people are so ready.

People are listening.  While running errands downtown today, I spoke with a woman about the goings on in politics. (Complete stranger, it’s amazing how some people are willing to talk about politics; so many are frustrated and fed up.) Explained the situation and encouraged her to vote for Jill Stein in November.  She says she will.  

Sent out my 32 emails tonight to family and friends encouraging a vote for Jill Stein in November.  Received one response so far that is a yes. Some of my contacts won’t respond at all, but my email does remind them: “Oh yeah, time to start paying attention.”  So it’s helpful to get Jill’s name out there right from the get go.

So this is the way it works, town to town, region to region.  All politics is local.  Don’t forget to chat with a stranger the next time you are in your particular downtown.

P.S.  Those two votes for Jill today can easily multiply ten-fold and more.  Get out there and chat with people.

Boston.com has a poll asking who you will vote for in the Governor’s race.  Please head on over there right now so we can bring Jill’s numbers up.

Thanks!
