   Here’s what the Stein campaign sent out – I may post it in a bit if someone else doesn’t first:

   paulie —

   For weeks we’ve been demanding free and equal debates. But, despite historic public pressure on the Commission on Presidential Debates to open the event and let all qualified candidates speak, the doors remain closed.

   Good thing there are windows.

   Join us tonight to make our voices heard by taking advantage of the following windows of opportunity! Join the conversation on any and all of the following channels to help raise awareness and fight the politics of fear!

   Key Messages

   Say what you will to rebut the flawed policies of the Obama White House and the Romney campaign, but please try to mention Jill Stein’s Green New Deal. Green New Deal. Green New Deal. The more people see that phrase, the more they’ll wonder what it is, and the better chance we have at forcing it into the political discourse!

   Beyond that key phrase, here are some other messages relevant to tonight’s debate on domestic policy:

   Unemployment
   Jill Stein’s Green New Deal includes a Full Employment Program that will create 25 million jobs by implementing a nationally funded, but locally controlled direct employment initiative replacing unemployment offices with local employment offices.http://bit.ly/PtTrhv
   It’s time to end unemployment. It’s time to transition to a #green economy. It’s time for a #GreenNewDeal!http://bit.ly/PtTrhv #debate
   Foreclosure Crisis
   . @JillStein2012’s #GreenNewDeal includes an immediate halt to all foreclosures and evictionshttp://bit.ly/PtTrhv #debate
   Tax Reform
   Jill Stein’s #GreenNewDeal would establish a 90% tax on bonuses for bailed out bankers. #presidentialdebatehttp://bit.ly/PtTrhv
   #GreenNewDeal will break up oversized banks that are “too big to fail” & establish a 90% tax on bonuses for bailed out bankers. #debate
   Health Care Reform
   The #GreenNewDeal = quality health care through a single-payer Medicare-for-All program. #VoteGreen #debatehttp://bit.ly/PtTrhv

   Student Loans
   Jill Stein’s Green New Deal includes the right to a tuition-free, quality, federally funded, locally controlled public education system from pre-school through college. They will also forgive student loan debt from the current era of unaffordable college education.
   If we can bail out bankers, we can bail out students! @JillStein2012’s #GreenNewDeal would solve the student loan crisis! #debate
   Financial Regulatory Reform
   The #GreenNewDeal from @JillStein2012 will reform the financial system by regulating derivatives & forming public-owned banks. #debate
   It’s time to take Wall Street out of the driver’s seat & make an American economy that works for all of us. #GreenNewDeal #debate
   Finally, check out and share Campaign Manager Ben Manski’s video report from the ground in Denver! These are the next steps in winning free and equal debates.

   In solidarity,

   Jill Stein for President

   Thanks, Jill. Yeah, I am doing too much, and so little. So, hope to chime in a bit again.
