TEXT: A People’s State of the Union: A Green New Deal for America



Presented by Dr. Jill E. Stein, Green Party presidential candidate, January 2012 ~

Good evening and thank you for this opportunity to talk with you tonight. We’re here to talk about the actual state of our nation, and how we can reclaim the promise of our democracy and the peaceful, just green future we deserve. We have heard President Obama deliver his State of the Union Address.  And we heard the Republican response. Each claims to have the answer, and that the other was an obstacle to progress.
