An endorsement from Dr. Cornel West

I am Dr. Cornel West, a teacher of philosophy and a citizen of the US republic. I wholeheartedly support Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka. And I’m writing to you today to let you know, they have my endorsement – and I know they have your support as well. You know, I’ve never been tied to one party or one candidate or even one institution. And that’s true even with one church as a Christian. I’m committed to truth and justice. I know you are, too. I came late to the Green Party, but right on time; I was a tireless supporter…

Evil of the Two Lessers

OpEd News By Chris Robinson Permit me to offer a brief history lesson, which might convince some to see the world from a different perspective. The first election campaign I volunteered in was that of President Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1964. I was then a student at Dickinson College, but I was not yet old enough to vote.

First of all, let’s get something straight. No vote is a “wasted” vote. Anyone who tells you this does not have respect for you or our democratic system. All Votes Matter. A person who takes time to think about issues or candidates and goes to a polling site to cast…

A Scene From the Fallsway

by Owen Silverman Andrews September 25, 2016 It’s a Tuesday like any other on the Fallsway, distinguishable only by September’s final dismissal of Baltimore summer humidity, leaving the first hint of fall chill in the night air. When darkness falls, the Sheriff’s Department raids the encampment on the steps of Healthcare for the Homeless. An hour later, a man strewn on the same steps lurches up, projectile vomits, and slams his head down hard on the concrete. I witness it from across the street, not moving, not knowing what to do. It’s a night like any other on the Fallsway,…

Who Decides Who Debates?

Santa Monica Daily Press Inside/Outside, September 26, 2016 By Michael Feinstein At their best, elections are opportunities to debate the issues of the day, and express our preferences through the ballot box. But that assumes we have candidates on the ballot that reflect our views — and debates that include them. In Santa Monica we have at least one City Council candidate forum each election cycle that includes all ballot-qualified candidates. It is hosted by the League of Women Voters of Santa Monica Education Fund, in partnership with the City of Santa Monica, and CityTV broadcasts the forum numerous times…
