Jill Stein is a Presidential candidate for the Green Party’s nomination. In a recent interview she expressed some interest in working together or beside Rocky Anderson and his newly former Justice Party. In an interview she stated:
“We have been talking with Rocky for months, and exploring how we could potentially work together, in the long run, in the short run, etc. I think Rocky is interested in creating a new party. He is newly emerged from the Democratic Party, and what you learn when you work in third party politics is that you don’t create these parties overnight. It takes a lot of work to create and maintain a party, and it’s hard to do that and run for office, and I think Rocky is testing the waters right now and we’ll see how the conversation progresses, but there is a very friendly and collaborative dialogue going on between us at this point.”
Someone has already set up a facebook group in order to encourage collaboration between the two campaigns.

Jill Stein for President ·

“Stein and the Greens are discussing the major educational issues and introducing real alternatives. If Stein can get into the televised Presidential debates in the fall, maybe Obama and his Republican opponent will be forced to respond.
According to their party platform, “Greens believe every child deserves a public education that fosters critical and holistic thought, and provides the breadth and depth of learning necessary to become an active citizen and a constructive member of our society.” This idea sounds like something Obama might believe in, but unfortunately it was not part of his Race to the Top program.
The Greens are “strongly opposed to the dissolution of public schools and the privatization of education” and “believe that the best educational experience is guaranteed by the democratic empowerment of organized students, their parents and communities along with organized teachers.” Specifically, they want to “eliminate gross inequalities in school funding,” they “oppose the administration of public schools by private, for-profit entities,” and they want to provide “free college tuition to all qualified students at public universities and vocational schools.”
