Vote In Women

Sit down Uncle Joe!

If anyone is wondering why we seem to be sitting this election cycle out, there are two things going on. First, our leader Joanna just had a baby - congrats!

But for our organization, this presidential campaign has been very tough on us philosophically, especially considering our three pillars: Peace, Liberty, & Science. And while many believe Hillary to be an ideal candidate for us to support, there are too many red flags for us to be comfortable with her as president. See this new article from Democracy Now! for more clarity, though also consider her hawkish history in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.

There is also the issue of her not supporting LGBT rights until shockingly recently. There's her time on the board of Wal-Mart, where she sat while they waged war against unionization and small businesses. There's her unwillingness to release the transcripts of her speeches to the big banks, and let's not overlook her willingness to take what are essentially bribes from them. There's her vote for the Patriot Act, alongside her lack of support for whistle-blowers like Edward Snowden. And why did she have that private email server in the first place?

So while Hillary is pro-science, she is not a peace candidate, and she has a troubling history with our liberties, and thus we can not endorse her. However, we aren't going to let that keep us from supporting other qualified candidates over the coming months!

And sorry Bernie, but you don't qualify for our support, though you wouldn't want it from a Super-PAC anyway - good for you!
