Russian Roulette

Posted on August 29, 2016 by johnrachel

This presidential election is like playing Russian roulette. Voting for Hillary Clinton means they will load six bullets, filling the cylinder. Voting for Donald Trump means they will insert five bullets, leaving one chamber open. Voting for Jill Stein means there will be no bullets in the gun. Gosh … what should I do? Last time I checked, my skull wasn’t bulletproof. Continue reading →

A Look At The Numbers

Posted on July 26, 2016 by johnrachel

Here’s how 50,000,000 people taking the “I’ll vote for Jill if you will” pledge all but guarantees Jill Stein the presidency. Moreover, this could actually happen! Despite the demonizing of the third-party option, there are a surprisingly large number of voters out there who are already receptive. They need first to become familiar with the brilliant agenda proposed by the Green New Deal, then reassured that taking the pledge is a no risk proposition. Continue reading →

The “I’ll vote for Jill if you will” Pledge Campaign

Posted on July 21, 2016 by johnrachel

No more “lesser evil” voting or concerns about “throwing your vote away”! There’s a way to establish a plurality victory for Dr. Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for president. Why hold your nose and vote for either a sociopathic egomaniac or a psychopathic war criminal, when you can put a brilliant woman in the White House who will serve the needs of all Americans, not just the billionaire class? Dr. Jill Stein, America’s first female president!

Throwing My Vote Away?

Posted on July 15, 2016 by johnrachel

Voting for either of those privileged-class monsters, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, is the definition of throwing away a vote, of surrendering the right of choice, and rendering voting a meaningless exercise. Continue reading →

Is this really happening?

Anyone out there who is running for the Senate or the House, anyone out there who knows someone who is running for the Senate or the House, or anyone out there who knows what the Senate and the House of Representatives do . . . please look at my new activist website: http://no-contract-no-vote.us Continue reading →

Putting Boots (Birkenstocks) on the Ground: Part VII

Posted on April 21, 2016 by johnrachel

Getting the truth out to the voting public on exactly where the candidates stand requires audacity, creativity, courage, some outside-the-box thinking. But it can be done. It should be done. It must be done! Voters don’t need to see protest signs. They need to see honest and clear choices at the polls. Candidate contracts leave no room for error or misinterpretation. They preclude elected representatives from going back on their commitments to their constituents when they enter the money chamber of the Washington DC bubble. Continue reading →

Putting Boots (Birkenstocks) on the Ground: Part IV

Posted on March 29, 2016 by johnrachel

People must unite at a local level, not under party banners, but as a voting bloc around issues that are important to them. Party labels — also very much the case with ideological labels — muddy the waters, get people unfocused on what’s truly consequential. ‘Democrat’, ‘Republican’, ‘liberal’, ‘conservative’, ‘libertarian’ — even more so with ‘socialist’, ‘Tea Party’, and ‘Green Party’ — have recently become so emotionally charged, clear thinking becomes difficult, constructive dialogue impossible.

Putting Boots (Birkenstocks) on the Ground: Part II

Posted on March 18, 2016 by johnrachel

Americans actually agree on a lot of important things. Most things! But the astonishing and powerful consensuses get lost in the trivialization, marginalization, and other weapons of mass distraction and sheer propaganda we all endure just trying to find out and understand what’s going on. We are teased, taunted, cajoled, manipulated, titillated, dazzled, and generally overwhelmed by the main stream media. Thus we lose focus. We can’t keep our eye on the prize, because by watching television we have no idea what the prize even is.

Turn off your TVs. Hide your smart phones under the mattress. Let the screensaver on your computer do whatever it does — swimming fish, go-go dancers, shooting stars — and don’t disturb it to watch the latest Trump riots or primary predictions. Go talk to someone. Your neighbor, your cousin, your kid’s teacher, that lady down the street who is always working in her garden, the guy who polishes his car three times a week. Bring cupcakes. Get to know them . . . and talk. Continue reading →

Putting Boots (Birkenstocks) on the Ground: Part I

Posted on March 9, 2016 by johnrachel

A president is a lightning rod. But a president is not the lightning. We the people are the lightning. We the people are the energy, the force, the real movers-and-shakers behind fundamental change. We the people and only we the people can shape the future we want. Continue reading →
