Get Out the Vote for Jill Stein!

DSCF9065.JPGWe’re on the homestretch! The countdown to election day is on!

In an election year with historically hated corporate candidates, and a real demand for alternatives to the corrupt two party system, voters are flocking to Jill Stein and the Green vision. 

Here are reasons to #VoteGreen this year:

-If Jill Stein receives just 1% of the vote in Minnesota GPMN retains minor status for four more years ensuring that we are an officially recognized political party and have access to the tax check off fund.

-Just 5% for Jill gains GPMN major party status, meaning we are guaranteed ballot access for all state legislative, congressional, and statewide races for four years as well as the next presidential race in 2020! This also means Greens have access to all debates and state election funds!

-Winning the state means we send a HUGE message to the establishment that single payer, peace, renewable energy, abolishing student debt, ending the War on Drugs, getting money out of politics, and putting people, planet and peace over profit will be accomplished!

(Please note: in Minnesota your ballot will say "Jill Stein/Howie Hawkins" - due to restrictive ballot access laws we were forced to use a stand-in on our petitions to get Jill on the ballot. The petitions were due only two weeks after our nominating convention. Despite no law saying he cannot, Secretary of State Steve Simon refused to replace our stand-in with our endorsed candidate. Please vote Stein/Hawkins - our electoral college voters know to vote for Stein/Baraka in the event Jill wins Minnesota. Then contact Steve Simon and let him know how you feel about keeping the only person of color running on a presidential ticket off of your ballot.)
