More quotes by Jill Stein
I'm a medical doctor by training. I'm a physician, not a politician. And I'm in this as a mother on fire.
Jill Stein
[My parents] were very interested in social justice issues, and there was a time, very early on, where my mother, I think, actually went to some demonstrations for integrating housing.
Jill Stein
You don't do that while you're being paid by taxpayers to do a very difficult and full-time job, and you also do not bring Clinton Foundation interests into the domain of the secretary of state, and you do not give preferred access to your own personal clients.
Jill Stein
I think, for one, the LGBTQ community is just a paragon of leadership, of standing up and saying these are our rights, and we deserve them. As a model of activism, it's so wonderful what the community has been able to achieve towards goals like marriage equality.
Jill Stein
I'm sorry. If you're working as secretary of state, you do not have time to be spending half of your volume of emails on your own private stuff, whether it's a nonprofit private business or whether it is a for-profit private business. You should not be doing that on company time.
Jill Stein
It's time to use the antitrust laws and to break up this conglomerate corporate media that has now poisoned our democracy to the point that our very survival is at risk for the kinds of monstrosities that are flourishing in our corporate media dominated discussion.
Jill Stein
That's not to say they [Bill and Hillary Clinton] intend to be corrupt, but I think they're way too cozy with the economic elite, and we know that our political system exemplifies the power of the economic elite.
Jill Stein
The key here in my view is not having to change people's minds, it's just allowing them to know.
Jill Stein
In terms of the role of the media, that is my candidacy which does provide that truly progressive agenda that gets to the heart of what is driving this right-wing extremism.It's not just Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton is not going to be the solution here.
Jill Stein
Is such an alliance helpful to us in this day and age? Are we creating a cold war in order to justify NATO?
Jill Stein
You know, Bernie [Sanders] is - he is a team player. I think he's on the wrong team, perhaps because he's been in Washington, D.C., too long, because he used to really understand independent politics and why we cannot have a viable political system unless we have independent political parties. Otherwise we just keep marching to the right.
Jill Stein
That was like the moment of revelation for me that in fact we are not the lunatic fringe.
Jill Stein
Our fundraising went up about a thousand percent and that's largely been sustained.
Jill Stein
Who passed Wall Street deregulation that enabled the meltdown of Wall Street and the disappearance of nine million jobs, the theft of 5 million homes?
Jill Stein
We helped generate that international law coming out of a very difficult and hard-won experiences in the First and Second World War. And I think we need to abide by that experience and our good judgment coming out of these catastrophes. We need to support that.
Jill Stein
I have always been involved in issue-based politics, not party politics - I was never really originally drawn to party politics.
Jill Stein
I am not an expert on the Clinton Foundation, so, you know, I don't want to pass judgment on it.
Jill Stein
It's not possible to solve the climate crisis while we continue to expand fracking.
Jill Stein
The problem [of climat changing] is only getting worse - that to me underscores that we need a transformative solution.
Jill Stein
We were out there with the people whose homes were flooded out in Southern Louisiana. We are out there on the front line with everyday people fighting the real frontline battle that real Americans are fighting.
