About time the candidate got a nickname. “Dr” is so stuffy (seriously, btw–this “Dr.” business is a misguided tactic. One of Dr.Stein’s strengths is that everyone thinks of her as “Jill.” That’s a plus, even, maybe especially, in a big-time race).

But I’m curious as to whether Ms. Stein has ever touted this, or whether Mr Bie is making it up as he goes along:


“Marijuana is the key to our climate and energy needs…. the US can fulfill all its current energy usage and needs merely by growing Hemp for seed oil and biomass… Jill Stein with her Green New Deal will initiate sweeping reforms that will Legalize Marijuana and institute a Hempen Clean-Energy-based Green Economy. With Hemp, we can raise our own fuel that doesn’t cause Global Warming. Hemp grows so fast, that the US can be energy-independent in a matter of weeks, with never a need for Fracking, Pipelines, “Natural” Gas, Gasoline, Oil, Coal, or Nuclear Power. Drilling Alaska and the Gulf indeed!

”

I’m all for legalization, and “Ganja Jill” certainly caused my ears to prick up, but a hemp based economy?

Will write more about my experience at the Green Party Nominating Convention in Baltimore, MD, but for now, you can watch it live:

Watch live streaming video from greenpartyus at livestream.com

You can also catch it on C-SPAN, and I’m very excited that Democracy NOW! has based their show out of Baltimore to cover the Green Party convention in depth.

The Green Party’s presumptive nominee for President, Dr. Jill Stein, met a groundbreaking threshold over the weekend by securing enough financial support in 22 states to qualify for the Federal Election Commission’s primary matching funds.

With taxpayers (voluntarily) doling out funds to two third party candidates in this election (Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson ironically qualified in May), the issue of whether the bipartisan (Democrat-and-Republican-controlled) Commission on Presidential Debates can justify its exclusive, anti-democratic charade will itself become a topic for debate.

Watch Stein’s brief message about this breakthrough, and read her full statement below the jump:

The Massachusetts Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers sent me a questionnaire on June 22 and asked for it to be submitted today (June 29).

The campaign has acted solely in publicizing the questions and answers.  This action was not coordinated with or requested by the MA Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers.

The text that is in blocks is the text of the questionnaire.

My answers and comments are outside of the blocks in italics.

My campaign responds to all questionnaires and publishes all answers sent.

1.) First order of business is we start picking up corporate donations.  BOOM!  $$ Cash BABY $$  Right Now Jill Stein need’s a fricken $5,000 from 15 states to even get matching funds… and she has less than 3 days to do this.  So think of that the next time Jill Stein proudly announces that she doesn’t accept corporate donations.  That’s why she losses year in and year out.  She isn’t a serious contender.      

2.) Then I fire the guy who decided to have the Green Party Convention in Baltimore MD and not NYC.  Just a dumb move that makes the party look weak.  

3.) I’d tell Jill Stein that this is the last time she runs for office, any office.  I’d tell her that I’d do whatever it takes to keep her from running for office ever again. And to enjoy her LAST tour of the US on the Green Party’s dime.

4.) I’d have a conference call with every Green Party lawmaker in the country with Eli Beckerman.  And I’d tell them all to make fun of Eli whenever possible.  To try to include his name and a negative remark about the kid in any speech they deliver or in laws that they write.

5.) (A)I’d dump all talk about legalizing weed, (B) lay off the Israel debate, (C) distance the Party from the Occupy Movement, (D) and stop running nut farmers like Roseanne Barr for President.
