More details
2010 represents an unprecedented opportunity for a grassroots, independent political breakthrough in Massachusetts. This is the first appeal for an exciting new campaign that will tilt back the political playing field in MA so that We The People have a voice on Beacon Hill and the critical debates over our future. Join me on the very first Democracy Day by giving just $10 to an amazing candidate. Take a stand for democracy and be part of history!

Comments on this pledge

  • Every opportunity to go beyond mere words and lip-service to our ideals is worth taking. Thanks for providing the voters the chance to contribute in whatever small ways we can--and to marshal our neighbors as we do.
  • Jill is the candidate we all wish would run! If she wins, she will be the governor we all have wanted: smart, ethical, and focused on the big issues. Finally, someone to vote for without holding my nose.
  • Who better to support than a candidate with a track record of encouraging and fighting for local sustainable economies, sane environmental policies, and social justice through real democratic processes?

  • $10 definitely isn't going to break the bank, and it's for a really good cause. Jill Stein's campaign is something I really believe in and can get behind, and if we can all pull together and make this work, the Commonwealth will be so much better off for it.

    Make sure to put "Democracy Day" in the instructions box so that we can count it towards the first D-Day!
  • Imagine: a government that will listen to us, work for us, and answer to us!

  • For anyone who's curious, the official Democracy Days effort got well over 100 pledges, but my little pledgebank didn't get over the hump on its own.

    We set Democracy Day for TODAY (JUNE 10, 2010). Just go to DemocracyDays.com or www.jillstein.org/democracy-days-donation
