More quotes by Jill Stein
We basically maintain that we can have an America and world that works for all of us, but that we need to really engage, and inform and empower the American voter, who are a bunch of very unhappy campers right now. They deserve to be informed.
Jill Stein
We the voters demand the right to be in charge here, to be informed, to be empowered.

They have to earn our vote. Neither Hillary [Clinton] or Donald [Trump] have earned our votes, yet the media is kind of closing ranks around them to try to prevent before people find out that there is actually - you know, that we actually have other choices. We are not limited to two corporate candidates.
Jill Stein
You have endorsements, everyone from Meg Whitman to the neocon John Negroponte and others who are all saying, you know, we're with Hillary [Clinton] now.
Jill Stein
The Republicans are... there is a small [Donald] Trump remnant, which is going over the cliff right now.
Jill Stein
That is enough to win a three-way presidential race. If young people understand they have the numbers and they have the power to come out and turn this election on its head.
Jill Stein
As Bernie Sanders himself said, you know, the [Donald] Trump movement reflects the economic despair and misery that's been inflicted not only on the American people but people around the world.
Jill Stein

In the words of Alice Walker, the biggest way people give up power is by not knowing we have it to start with. We have it: just to look at the power of fighting student debt or 25 million Latinos who learned that the Republicans are the party that hate and fear but Democrats are the party of people deportation and detention.
Jill Stein
You have the Republican establishment that is moving into Hillary's [Clinton] camp. What's happening in this election is sort of proof of principle.
