Green Presidential Nominee Jill Stein Makes Houston Campaign Stop
I saw Green Presidential nominee Dr. Jill Stein speak last night in Houston.
Above you see a picture from that appearance.
Dr. Stein spoke about a hopeful agenda that involved the provision of health care, addressing climate change and protecting civil liberties.
She said that our leaders had “no exit strategies for the crises we face.”
Dr. Stein spoke well and is competent. She is a credible candidate for President of the United States.
Dr. Stein said the Green ticket was on the ballot in 85% of the nation, had qualified for matching funds, and was polling at about 2% in polls that asked about 3rd party candidates.
Here is the website for Dr. Stein if you would like to learn more.
Dr. Stein will be in San Antonio today –10/6 –and will be back in Houston tomorrow. Here is a link to her Texas schedule.
Here is the Green Party of Texas. This link has a list of Greens on the ballot in Texas in 2012.
My view is that I’m voting for Dr. Stein in Republican Texas because she is best on our rigged economy, climate change, and issues of civil liberties and protecting the right to dissent.
If I were in a contested state I would vote for Mr. Obama as there are real and important differences between Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney.
The fact that differences do exists between the major party candidates does not mean though that Dr. Stein is wrong when she says that the rich call the shots in America and that it is up to each of us to look for new solutions to change this fact.
A strong Green Party can help push this country in a hopeful direction as it puts pressure on Democrats and as Greens gain support across America.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

“Dr. Stein spoke well and is competent. She is a credible candidate for President of the United States.”
No she isn’t. Her campaign isn’t at all serious, and neither is her party — Stein’s rival at the Convention (in a Holiday Inn ballroom) was Roseanne Barr. Her campaign committee is insolvent.
She’s not credibly running for president. She runs for office every two years as a quirky little hobby, like pinning butterflies.
Dr. Stein would be a better President than other major party candidate.
The 2 major parties make it very difficult for third party candidates to gain traction. Put the Green and the Libertarian on the stage with the major party nominee for just one debate and give other voices a fair shot at being heard.
