This year, Democracy Now expanded the debate by splicing in real-time footage of the Green Party's Jill Stein and Justice Party's Rocky Anderson as they responded to the same questions as the two Wall Street candidates. The Libertarian candidate was also invited to participate, but declined. Watch the complete debate on our website, as Jill Stein demolishes Romney for a second time in her political career: http://sfgreenparty.org/10-campaigns/44-watch-the-expanded-presidential-deba... *===========================* The Commonwealth Club is sponsoring two events that may be of interest to Green Party members. The first, called "Energy and the Election<http://bit.ly/Q174bt>," will take place on Tuesday, October 9th at 6pm. We will explore the important energy issues in this election and the political and energy choices facing the country. The second event, called "Tear Down That Dam?<http://bit.ly/Nt1dMg>" will take place on Monday, October 15th at 6pm. A measure on the San Francisco ballot will ask voters to consider a plan that could result in the draining of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Climate One will host panelists on both sides of the debate to discuss this and other regional water issues. (Note that the Green Party did not reach consensus on supporting or opposing Prop F, the ballot measure discussed above) *===========================* California voters can now register Green online, without mailing anything in! https://rtv.sos.ca.gov/elections/register-to-vote/ People can register online up until October 22 for the upcoming election. *===========================* Donate online!
