[okeefe-updates] Join the candidates in western Mass this weekend!

[Vanessa Bliss]

Join Jill Stein, Tony Lorenzen and James O’Keefe in Western Mass this weekend!

Join the statewide candidates for two days of events this weekend:

Saturday, September 7:  James O’Keefe will be on hand at the Franklin/Hampshire 
Green Party County conventions at Mt. Toby Meeting House in Leverett from 10 am-
12:30 pm.  After the convention, James will join local activists for a 
Democracy Lemonade Stand Tour through Amherst, Northampton, and Easthampton.  
If you haven’t seen or heard of the Green Lemonade Stands for Democracy, 
they’re really fun and worth checking out.  They’re sort of an old-fashioned 
political meet-and-greet tour with the message, “When the legislature gives you 
lemons, make lemonade!”  Basically, it’s tabling with a gimmick—free lemonade!  
We’ll talk with voters about the Green Party, recruit more activists, and 
register new voters.  



Please join us for any part or all of the day!  Following is the schedule:

LEVERETT— Franklin/Hampshire Green Party County Convention, Mt. Toby Meeting 
House, 10 am-12:30 pm
AMHERST—Lemonade Stand for Democracy, the corner of Kellogg and North Pleasant 
Streets, 1:30-2:45

SUNDAY, SEPT. 8, JILL IN BERKSHIRE COUNTY

On Sunday, September 8, Jill Stein will join Berkshire County Green Party folks

progressive organizations to talk with Jill about their concerns.  The speak-
out will be at the Black Swan Inn from 2:30-5:00 pm. Participants will include 
Analisa Vargas from Greenworking, an immigrant-rights group; Tim Gellar from
