Green presidential candidate has been arrested again for taking food to protestors attempting to stop a tar sands oil pipeline. Apparently 33 people have been arrested on this protest, the previous person was a 78 year old grandmother arrested for trespassing on her own land - and we think that UK democracy is crap!
This Jill Stein's quote from Think Progress:
“I’m here to connect the dots between super storm Sandy and the record
heat, drought, and fire we’ve seen this year – and this Tar Sands
pipeline, which will make all of these problems much worse. And I’m here
to connect the dots between climate devastation and pipeline
politicians – both Obama and Romney – who are competing, as we saw in
the debates, for the role of Puppet In Chief for the fossil fuel
industry. Both deserve that title. Obama’s record of ‘drill baby drill’
has gone beyond the harm done by George Bush. Mitt Romney promises more
of the same.”
Stuart Jeffery is Chair of Kent Green Party, coordinates the Green Party in Maidstone, is the Party's health spokesperson and is Policy Coordinator on the Green Party Executive Committee. BUT... views expressed here are his views and not those the Green Party.
