Green Party Candidates Arrested at Hofstra Debate

 "Democracy Now!"

Green Party candidates Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala were arrested upon attempting to enter the presidential debate site at Hofstra University on Tuesday night, an election event from which they were barred by the Democrat- and Republican-controlled corporation that runs the debates.

“Do you have credentials?” a university security official asked the women.


“Yes, we do have credentials,” Stein and Honkala replied, explaining that their party is on the presidential ballot in most of the country. The two were apprehended and briefly held by straight-faced security guards wearing broad hats and dark glasses before being removed from the site

ABOUT EBC

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
