Green Party

Dear Michael L.,

Yesterday our 2012 Presidential ticket - Jill Stein and her  
Vice-Presidential running mate Cheri Honkala - were arrested by  
Philadelphia police. The two were joining anti-foreclosure activists at a  
Fannie Mae office, and refused to leave the premises after executives for  
the mortgage giant repeatedly refused to meet with Philadelphia residents  
who have been battling to keep their homes.

The arrest was covered by the Associated Press, Politico, and dozens of  
major news outlets.
According to the Jill Stein campaign, the two women are awaiting a bail  
hearing and are being represented by an experienced civil disobedience  
attorney.
The protest was originally called by the Poor People's Econonic Human  
Rights Campaign, an organization directed by the Green Party's VP candidate  
and long-time community activist Cheri Honkala.
Jill Stein has announced specific steps to reduce the foreclosure crisis in  
this country through her Green New Deal - including an executive order  
establishing a moratorium on foreclosures and creating community  
development associations to issue mortgages instead of Wall Street banks.
Click here for the complete statement on yesterday's arrest.

Please stayed tuned to the Stein/Honkala team at www.jillstein.org as they  
continue to promote Green values and campaign for the nation's highest  
office. They will be free soon, and back on the campaign trail working for  
the economic health of all Americans, not just the richest 1%.

You can also follow hundreds of Green candidates for federal, state and  
local office who are promoting the same values at www.gp.org.
