An open letter to Jill Stein and Gary Johnson

Subject: An open letter to Jill Stein and Gary Johnson

I am writing this letter to implore Dr. Jill Stein and former Governor Gary Johnson to sit down and discuss the possibility of libertarian-green party coalition aimed at taking the White House. This coalition would make it possible to overcome the currently daunting reality of the two party system. I do not have to explain to you the polls or the past success of ‘independent’ parties. Given the current polls, it seems inevitable that the majors will continue to give little attention to either of you (neither of you are as entertaining as WWE veteran Mr. Trump unfortunately). If neither of you reach the golden 15% mark before the debates start I believe it is unlikely the numbers will be high enough to have a chance of making it into a runoff after the November election (which seems like what will happen if a coalition can garner the support of anyone willing to believe that a 3rd party can win).

A comparison of your platforms shows that the two of you actually have a number of commonalities. Let’s look at a number of items that I believe both campaigns share:

Domestic
-End censorship and all communication control
-No conscription ('draft')
-Pro choice
-Repeal laws that define marriage, or which give special tax or other benefits based on marital status
-Balanced Budget Amendment
-De-prioritize 'victimless' crimes; repeal all anti-drug use laws
Foreign
-Reduced Militarism
-Simple, fair, transparent immigration policy

I believe that the Green Party should be guaranteed a few things for their support of Gary including:
-Forgiveness of Student Debt
-Campaign reform
-Corporate tax reform (better enforcement)
-Call for equal representation of women in Congress
-Social equality (minorities, gender-equality, sexual orientation, indigenous people, mentally ill)
-Prosecute environmental crimes

I understand that there are a number of issues that your campaign and Gary’s disagree on, but I believe this is a time for unity. Put aside your differences and let’s fix our ailing nation. Do not let the party’s ego sway you from making a decision that could change the course of history before it’s too late.

Cheers,

A Fellow American Human
