STEIN: Vote for independents

| October 21, 2016 9:00 PM

This Election Day, Nov. 8, it’s imperative you get to your polling place and vote. Our democracy is broken. The definition of a democracy, according to Webster’s dictionary, is a government in which supreme power is held by the people.

Bernie Sanders did get this message out to the people. The oligarchy’s rule stepped in to give us false hope and left Sanders on the sidelines. Jill Stein, our presidential candidate for the Greens, is on enough ballots to win but at the very least we will get the 5 percent needed for the same federal funding next election that the other two major parties already get. The 5 percent also gives automatic ballot access for next election. We need to move forward for real progress.

The debates won’t open to our other Idaho candidates like our Green Independent, Jill Stein. The commission on presidential debates refuses to let Jill Stein/Ajamu Baraka be heard. We will not lie down. We will stand for what is right. We are the revolution. Vote for democracy. Vote for people, planet, peace over profits! Vote Jill Stein for president and Human Rights activist, Ajamu Baraka, Vice President! I urge you to learn more at GP.org and join the revolutionary movement forward. One Love, Peace and Life!! Take the power back this election day and vote Independent party.
