Excellent reporting by Worcester’s telegram.com, sharing the enthusiasm the Green-Raibow Party has as they continue to fight for a government that works for all of us. Jill Stein and all of the party activists look to the future and reflect on the successes that were achieved this year:

While their leader and flagship candidate from the state election earlier this month, gubernatorial candidate Jill Stein, captured just 1 percent of the votes and finished a distant fourth in the governor’s race, Green-Rainbow Party members seemed anything but discouraged at their state convention here today.

“I am so excited about where we are coming out of this race,” said Ms. Stein, a physician from Lexington. “This is our springboard into a really exciting era going forward.”

Ms. Stein said the Green-Rainbow Party’s showing in the recent balloting was enough to win back official party status in Massachusetts, which allows the party’s name to be listed on voter registration forms.

“We’re better equipped to fight the fight going forward,” she said.

Having been on the ground promoting the Green Rainbow Party candidates this election cycle, I know that many people were interested in this new voice for change.  They will be even more interested next time. I’m sure of it. Two steps forward and no steps back.  Next time it will be many more steps forward.  There is a lot to be excited about.
