LEVEL OF CLASSISM IN THE GREEN PARTY:

“Wow, this is completely embarrassing…..I guess if you cannot get the nomination from one party then totally join another one! Is that how it is? Well, the joke is on all of us this time cuz Rosanne and Cindy are just trying to edge out the competition from a more qualified candidate who has poise, elegance,governance, brains AND tact. I am sorry to say that both these ladies are lacking at more than a few of these and because of petty jealousy and personal ambition would like to create another popularity dog and pony show, which will only discredit radicals on the left.”

July 17-18, 2012 — Jill Stein, the Green Party, and Israeli influence peddling

Israel was never happy that the Green Party nominated former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney as its presidential candidate in 2008. Irking Israel even more was the participation of McKinney in the June 2009 Gaza aid flotilla from Cyprus. The Israeli Navy boarded McKinney’s boat in international waters and held her in an Israeli prison in Ashdod for several days without any intervention by consular officials from the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv. McKinney was segregated from other Gaza aid flotilla prisoners and unceremoniously put in an prison cell with five Ethiopian economic refugees in a demonstration of Israel’s racist apartheid policies against Africans and African-Americans.

To All National GP Members:   We are pleased to announce that the Green Party Black Caucus is strongly endorsing Roseanne Barr as the best nominee to represent our party in the run for President of the United States .   During our teleconference with members of the GPBC we were introduced to Ms. Barr by the powerful voice of the voiceless the former US Congress Member from the great state of Georgia and former US Presidential Candidate for the Green Party USA, Cynthia McKinney.     Ms. McKinney emphasized the role Roseanne would play as a candidate by drawing world attention when speaking to the issues that represent the strong ten key values of the Green Party.  She also emphasized the fact that Ms. Barr’s integrity and good will are known far and wide and will therefore make a tremendous difference and impact on the Presidential campaign 2012 besting whatever the Republican and Democratic candidates has to offer.   Following Ms. McKinney’s introduction Ms. Barr confirmed her tremendous praise and support for Cynthia McKinney emphasizing her many acts of courage and her moral integrity, as well as her tenacity in speaking ‘truth to power’. Roseanne spoke of the terrible price Cynthia has had to pay for this unstoppable courage in the face of terrible odds and even death like venturing to supply food, toys and medicine to Palestinian families in Gaza . Ms. Barr went on to insist on the need for the Green Party and other US citizens to unify against the horrific political reality that grips the nation.   Roseanne cited many reasons why it is so important that we as a nation come together and get beyond the issues that separate and keep us apart in order to do the right thing and achieve our common goals for the right reasons.  She frankly acknowledged that like most of us, she has made mistakes in her lifetime, but that this just emphasizes the need for us to take back control of our lives.  She stated that it was her admiration for the Green Party platform and ten key values that won her over to the Green Party. She explained that it was things such as the Green Party’s insistence that there is abundance aplenty on this earth and that scarcity is a manmade false phenomenon which is a critical concept. She stated more than once that as a Green Party Presidential candidate, she will show up, she will be very serious and will take the fight wherever it needs to go.   A number of GPBC members such as Ralph Poynter and Theresa El-Amin upon hearing such words greeted Roseanne with hearty thanks and pledged to support her with all the r [Read more...]

Becoming an Engaged Citizen: Roseanne Barr’s First Public Campaign Appearance This Friday!

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ROSEANNE BARR TO DELIVER KEYNOTE AT ‘RALLY IN THE VALLEY’ WITH LOCAL GREEN PARTY CANDIDATES

Comedian-turned-presidential-candidate Roseanne Barr, whose name will appear on the California Primary Ballot as a Green Party candidate for President of the United States, will be appearing at a “Rally in the Valley” for local Greens and LA-area Green Party congressional candidates, Michael Powleson, David Steinman, and Anthony Vierya.

The Green Party’s ‘Rally in the Valley’ known as, “Behold, the Greening of America!,” will take place on Friday, March 23rd at 7pm at the Mayflower Club, located at 11110 Victory Blvd. (just west of Vineland) in North Hollywood.

Former congressional candidate, and well-known progressive, Marcy Winograd, will be a guest speaker, with Roseanne appearing as the keynote speaker for the event.

Winograd, famously challenged former Congresswoman, Jane Harman, for her seat in Congress as an anti-war progressive Democrat, but switched from the Democratic Party to the Green Party earlier this year.  She will be speaking about why she switched political parties at the event.

Roseanne Barr has been making media appearances, and speaking to Green Party General Assemblies nationwide with her populist message of economic justice and fair play for all Americans.  Roseanne has also been calling out cronyism and corruption in our political system by demanding accountability for those Wall Street criminals responsible for massive mortgage fraud, and an end to “corporate personhood” as defined by the Supreme Court.

Her speeches before the Green Party thus far have been warmly received, and her involvement in the presidential race has brought much-needed attention to the independent party, known for its environmentalism, refusal to accept corporate donations, and grassroots funding.

Other guest speakers for the rally include, Michael Powelson, a history professor from Valley College, running against Howard Berman (D) & Brad Sherman (D) in the 30th district, David Steinman, an author, publisher and consumer advocate, running against Henry Waxman (D) in the 33rd congressional district, and Anthony Vieyra, a financial analyst, running against Joe Baca (D) in the 35th congressional district.

The rally, hosted by San Fernando Valley Greens’ Events Coordinator, Michael McCue, will benefit the group’s 2012 Voter Registration Drive and assist them in sending their delegate to the statewide General Assembly in San Francisco this May, as well as the Green Party’s National Convention in Baltimore this July, where the Greens will determine their nominee for the presidential race in November.

Everyone is encouraged to attend and learn about the Green Party at the Rally.  You need not be a Green Party-registered voter to attend as the rally is open to all voters…. from progressives to conservatives…and voters of all political stripes are welcome!

The rally admission is $20, with free parking and a cash bar.

Call 818-912-4017 or email to sfvgreens@gmail.com to RSVP for the event as seating is limited.
