Jill Stein for Governor

"This is the year we the people regain control of our Commonwealth and our common future. It's time for a Commonwealth that listens to the people, works for the people, and answers to the people. It's time to bring the voices of ordinary people into this election and into the halls of power. It's time to break the stranglehold of lobbyists and insiders, and get Beacon Hill back to work for the families and communities of the Commonwealth. It's time to start building the healthy, secure green future we so urgently need, richly deserve, and that is within our reach.

My name is Jill Stein, and that's why I'm running for governor."

Lt. Governor

"Every tax dollar that is spent, every tax credit that is granted, every bond that is issued represents an investment of our Commonwealth. What kind of return are we getting for that investment? What about the jobs that disappear as soon as the tax breaks end? What about the costs to our communities of the state’s earmarks, mandates, special favors and giveaways to lobbyists and insiders? What about the funds that are spent exactly as the legislative leadership specifies on complete boondoggles? Who can you trust to audit those?

As the Massachusetts Green-Rainbow Party — the state affiliate of the Green Party of the United States — candidate for auditor, I offer a level of independence from the parties running Beacon Hill and their contributors that no other candidate can promise.

This November, voters have a simple question to answer when choosing an auditor: who can we trust to follow the money, no matter where it leads?"

"We have an opportunity to tip the scales towards new solutions - towards vibrant, green, forward-looking politics and public policy.

For too long we have not witnessed the change in Boston and in Washington we thought we were voting for. It’s still business as usual. Despite the fanfare over our commonwealth’s “reform” of health care in 2006, costs have not been contained and the private insurance plans that we are forced to purchase do not give us security. Tax increases, most recently the sales tax increase, are regressive, placing the burden ever more unfairly on those whose services, needs and desires are being ignored while banking interests get bailed out. Isn’t it time to demand real change? "
