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 SteinIt was a very interesting experience. You know, I don't think words could do it justice. Roseanne [Barr] is a comedian, a laugh a minute at every turn, and this time around she was actually going to be the vice presidential candidate of another Green Party candidate. So I guess she's still in the mix in some ways,sort of learning her politics as she goes, like a lot of us Americans who are getting thrown under the bus and for whom it is not a laughing matter. We are going to stand up and take this seriously and refuse to be intimidated out of the future that we deserve.
Jill SteinThis is sort of the epitome of the economic elite that is converging with a political elite. It's not only the banks and insurance companies. It's the war industry and private prisons.

And where the Clinton Foundation ends and Hillary's [Clinton] political actions begin, that too is quite troubling.
