Two days ago, a two-plus decade long supporter of our efforts to build a new political party in Georgia called me with a great deal of anger and fear for another Trump administration to argue that ‘now is not the time’ for us to put at risk the chances for the Party of Genocide to retain the White House.<\/p>\n
Yet, every election cycle is an opportunity to build political power independent of the corporate duopoly parties.\u00a0 Any election cycle not used for that purpose is wasted and sets back whatever progress we have made in previous election cycles.\u00a0 To demur at this time is to shrink from the challenge put before us.\u00a0 No one else will build this party but us.<\/p>\n
When we registered on May 8th, 1996 with the Secretary of State as a political organization in Georgia, we said in our registration statement that our Party “is being organized to provide an electoral tool for the grassroots movement for social justice, peace and non-violence, participatory democracy and ecological sustainability”.\u00a0 In this year, the movement for peace and opposed to genocide has rallied around the campaign we mount as a vehicle vital to the expression of their political aspirations for this country.\u00a0 It would be a tragic abdication were we, at this late date, to withdraw from the field, to decline to participate or to deny the peace movement an opportunity to use the party we have built as a vehicle for their efforts.<\/p>\n
We are hearing from the muslim supporters of our campaign that this is a time for sacrifice; that the sacrifices we are asked to make pale in comparison to the sacrifices being endured by our neighbors in Gaza and Palestine, in Syria and Libya and Yemen.\u00a0 They are urging us to take the risks demanded by our desire for change.\u00a0 We are listening as muslim advocates for the the Stein-Ware 2024 campaign push back against the bullying by democrats who express entitlement to our votes, reminding our communities that now is the time that we must play the long-game.<\/p>\n
If our muslim neighbors are willing to risk another Trump administration, with its muslim bans and moving the US embassy to the contested city of Jerusalem and the heightened islamophobic rhetoric, certainly we can share that risk.\u00a0 Solidarity requires that we overcome the fear, that we share the sacrifice, that we face threats together.<\/p>\n
And ultimately we can push back against the blue team’s bully tactics with a show stopping question of our own:\u00a0 what evil could possibly be greater than genocide?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The following was authored by a coastal Texan active with the Abandon Harris campaign.<\/p>\n In August 2024, just DAYS after Kamala announced she was running for President, the State Department, under Biden\/Kamala, announced that the U.S. had approved another $20 billion weapons package to Israel to kill more innocent children and elders, to be sent to Isreal over the next 3-5 years<\/p>\n Again… how much of this money could be used here in America for homelessness, healthcare, education, and more domestically?<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.google.com\/amp\/s\/amp.cnn.com\/cnn\/2024\/08\/13\/politics\/us-military-sale-israel-20-billion-fighter-jets<\/p>\n \u203c\ufe0fKamala is in office as VP and just announced she’s running for President and has no influence over her own President and state department, and somehow expects to influence others after the election…<\/p>\n If she wants us to vote for her, influence her own President to overturn this before the election<\/p>\n \u203c\ufe0f Listen to the hypocrisy in Kamala’s speech at the Presidential debate<\/p>\n “Hamas, a terrorist organization, slaughtered 1,200 Israelis.
