The only time it's okay to get arrested is if you're protesting something unjust.

Getting arrested standing up for your cause takes guts

Jill Stein is the only one actually willing to stick her neck out for anything she believes in. She has my vote in November.

Where was she when George Bush and Greenspan were warning Congress in 2002 that if the Democrats don't reign in Fanny and Freddie, there would be an economic meltdown?

Noting that the Obama administration has only released 10% of the aid that Congress had promised to homeowners, Stein asserted that "There is much more interest in Washington in protecting the profits of banks than in getting this aid out to the families whose lives are falling apart.

She is right there.

In 2002 she was in the race against Romney, she has been very active on issues, she is a grad of Harvard Medical School has been published on the effect of toxins in the enviorment on the young and elderly.
Being an activist she has gone to our elected officials where she found they did not want to hear what she had to say, that was what got her started on her political career.

Here is a short bio

I give her credit for daring to shed a light on the Obama admin being in bed just as deep as Bush was with big banks and Wall St. He has managed to fool most of the fools, but she at least has her eyes wide open.

Hi, I noticed you are also in Virginia, I have been involved in the petition drive to get Stein on the ballot in Virginia, we have to get a certain amount of signatures in the different parts of the state, myself I'm from Alexandria I'm not even a member of the Green Party or any party but I believe in what Stein stands for, they do need volunteers for this, tomorrow I'm headed south to a farmer's market in Dale City, I imagine they need help in your area also so if you or anyone else here wants to get involved I can put you in contact with the person handling the petitions who is a very dedicated lady from Arlington who went all the way out to Blacksburg this weekend to get signatures or you can just google up the Green Party for the state, this also goes for people in other states as well.

The link below shows the states that are still seeking to get on the ballot.
