Go here to support Rocky Anderson’s candidacy on American’s Elect! 

If Rocky Anderson leaps into first place on American’s Elect, I will give 100$ to whoever has the most people reblog and support Rocky (as I will count from the notes from this post) on Paypal. I (socialuprooting / John) will message the person privately. 

Rocky’s policies and new party should be pushing forward with a progressive movement to overthrow the two-party corporatist and militarist duopoly, perpetuated by both Romney and Obama. It all starts here, with you. If Rocky receives American’s Elect nomination, he will be on the ballot in all 50 states.

I’m serious about this, and you should be too. Let’s get spreading this message and pushing forward for Rocky’s nomination for American’s Elect.

Americans Deserve a Presidential Science Debate

Numerous candidates have developed a pattern of embracing various antiscience positions from the denial of climate change to the assertion that stem cell research is “killing children,” in order to create controversy and reinvigorate sagging poll numbers. This is presumably based on the candidates’ belief that evangelical voters are antiscience.

This sort of brinksmanship with reason is not only dangerous for science - it is dangerous for democracy itself. The United States was founded on the principle that each individual could rationally ascertain the truth of things for him or herself, and therefore a government of, by and for the people would be more just and more effective than a government by the authoritarian edicts of a King or Pope. That means a government whose decisions are based on the best available evidence.
