Hi Michiel,

I know that.  I knew that when I voted for the Working Families Party in the
election for the Governor of NYS.  While some might see that vote as throwing
away a vote, I saw it as getting a chance to speak my mind in a way the
Governor would have to notice.  As I knew would happen, I was not the only
person in NYS to do this and the Working Families' candidate did receive a
respectable number of votes.  Shortly after that vote, our Governor in NYS had
to listen to some people's requests regarding things like allowing Medical
Mariyjuana, etc.  He escaped that issue with a policy in NYS that is sick
though because no can GET medical marijuana in NYS.. but it's not illegal
anymore

There will be a notible count for Jill Stein or the other candidate whose name
escapes me at the moment.. but that other candidate is not Clinton or Trump. :)
 People in the U.S. are pretty angry right now.  Also.. Clinton may be more of
a hawkish candidate (read: War) candidate than Trump.

>>> That really scares the hell out of me.

>> You should also be worried as much if not more about Clinton winning

She isn't.. you just picture her as somebody's grandmother I figure.. that or
you also thought her husband was a good president so you are willing to ride
the Clinton "train" right now.  I did once as well until I read more about the
two of them.

Understand... If you think Hillary will be a more peaceful inducing President
that is not what history shows.

>> All the more reason to send Jill Stein's campaign $$.. Which we are

> Jill Stein did not make the news here.

She will eventually I hope.  The control over the mass media has very very long
arms I fear.

>> It may be a shot in the dark, but stranger things have happened.

>> Clinton and the Clinton Foundation are the real scarey things to us :(

That's what the Green Party is all about.. a third party.  Check it out.  Just
the fact that this country tries to squash any third party candidate should
tell you something.

Take care,
Janis
