Excerpt from an article at Green Party Watch by Dave Schwab:
Here are the ten policies you endorse by joining the Green New Deal Coalition:
• Cut military spending at least 70%;
• Create millions of green union jobs through massive public investment in renewable energy, mass transit and conservation;
• Set ambitious, science-based greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, and enact a revenue-neutral carbon tax to meet them;
• Establish single-payer “Medicare for all” health care
;
• Provide tuition-free public higher education;
• Change trade agreements to improve labor, environmental, consumer, health and safety standards;
• End counterproductive prohibition policies and legalize marijuana;
• Enact tough limits on credit interest and lending rates, progressive tax reform and strict financial regulation;
• Amend the U.S. Constitution to abolish corporate personhood; and
• Pass sweeping electoral, campaign finance and anti-corruption reform

I like the Green New Deal….
The American version is different of some significant points that the Green New Deal in South America…and Europe…in both places Greens have run very successful campaigns this year on the Green New Deal platform..
One point about the military spending…This Green New Deal want’s to cut too LITTLE defense spending….cutting only 70 per cent would still leave and U.S. military budget of nearly $400 billion….an absurd amount of money…for guns and bombs…
$100 billion a year for U.S. military spending would still leave the America spending more on military than any nation on earth…
thanks..
and in the north east,
Hi, I am Donald Grundmann, even tho I am a licensed Chiropractor from the Left Coast and have a terminal degree, I pour out non sense like you would not believe. I should be on my way to Leavenworth or Cororan Prison, for tax evasion and or attempted assault. The higher my profile the lower my vote count.
Hi, I am Jill Stein, even tho I am a licensed Physician from Taxachusetts and have a terminal degree, I (and my Obama based campaign manager) can not tell what day it is. The original promotional on my radio spot could not discern the day of the week from the day of the month!
[Thx Don Lake of California, sorry I was so arrogant to not respond! But I was too busy. You know — smooching with the Democrats and being a VIP!]
Just our little secret: between now and November do not let the voters know that I am soooooooo stupid. I mean mistakes happen, but with me they just keep on happening! Duh!
