It’s been another great week in the media for the Jill Stein for President campaign, with Jill Stein making appearances in the Washington Post, the Guardian, CNN, and Time Magazine, while running mate Cheri Honkala made a splash with her response to the VP debate in Kentucky. Here are some highlights from the week:
The Guardian: Give us a mandate for what America needs: a Green New Deal (10/14) Under the New Deal of the 1930s, unemployment rates were substantially reduced, and millions of jobs were created. For this reason, I propose a Green New Deal for the 2010s, which – unlike the doomed-to-fail proposals of Obama and Romney – is proven to work.
Washington Post: Jill Stein responds to five key debate questions (10/12) Jill Stein spoke with the Washington Post’s Brook Silva-Braga about her responses to five key questions from the first presidential debate.
Louisville Courier-Journal: Without debate invite, Green candidate Cheri Honkala tours Kentucky (10/13) Green Party vice presidential candidate Cheri Honkala, a formerly homeless woman who became a single mother as a teenager, has driven around Kentucky this week to talk about a national issue that she said received little attention in the debate: the growing number of Americans living in extreme poverty.
USA Today: Cheri Honkala’s response to the VP debate (10/13) Poor, working and middle income families will pay much less in taxes, while the very rich, major corporations, Wall Street and polluters will pay more. But tax policies are only a part of the picture. We have to look at where we as a society invest our resources. Do we fund education or prison? War or employment?
Time Magazine: Joel Stein: Meet the Green Party’s meal ticket (10/15) I called Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, and told her campaign they could raffle off lunch with me. I chose Stein partly because I figured the two main parties wouldn’t call me back and mostly because I thought the raffle might cause people to confuse our names and think I’m the Green Party presidential candidate, which would boost my Hollywood career.
CNN: The other Presidential debate (10/13) Don Lemon of CNN interviewed Jill Stein and Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson for the “other” Presidential debate.
