Jill Stein vs the Federal Elections Commission

Join the Green-Rainbow Party this morning, Thursday at 10 AM on Zoom to support Jill Stein in this monstrous show trial. The FEC plans to make Jill Stein’s 2016 Presidential Campaign pay back $175,000. While the FEC is criticized for overlooking the corruption of super PACs and foreign money, it's also known to go after small, grassroots political alternatives for obscure or non-existent offenses. In this case, it's the Green Party’s 2016 presidential campaign on the firing line (again). Specifically, the FEC is demanding Jill Stein personally repay $175,000 in public funding spent on ballot access after the Green Party’s nominating convention in 2016. Continue reading

Lamont is quoted as saying that the goal is to "get as many people vaccinated as quickly as we can." Continue reading

Lamont's budget sells out working people, democracy, and the planet; Green Party of Connecticut says "Tax the rich, free the people, save the planet" HARTFORD, CT – Like most working people in Connecticut, we in the Green Party of Connecticut are disappointed but not surprised by the lackluster, unimaginative, business-as-usual tone of Governor Lamont's proposed budget. Imagination is fostered by freedom, and any plan for Connecticut's future that prioritizes keeping rich people safe from paying their fair share of taxes will begin its political life bound hand and foot to the status quo.
