LET JILL DEBATE!
Come show your support for Jill Stein at Tuesday's Environmental debate.
WHEN: Tomorrow, February 19th at 6:30pm.
WHERE: JFK School of Government, Harvard University. 79 JFK Street.
(DIRECTIONS: From the Harvard Square T station, walk towards the Charles
River down JFK Street. The Kennedy School will be about three blocks down
on your right.)
THE DEBATE SPONSORS RESCINDED THE INVITATION OF THE ONLY ENVIRONMENTALIST
RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.
But that won't stop her from speaking out!!!
Please show up to meet Jill Stein and demonstrate your support for the
REAL environmental voice in the 2002 gubernatorial campaign.
Don't let corporate newsrooms set the agenda for the gubernatorial
race.
The whitewash can take place inside - the truth will be spoken outside.
Meet Jill and other supporters outside of the Kennedy School of
Government, 79 JFK Street near Harvard Square at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday,
February 19.
The debate will begin inside at 7:00 P.M.

NECN'S SURPRISING CLAIM
To our surprise, New England Cable News (NECN) has told many people who
contacted them that they had never invited Jill to participate in the
environmental debate! As their News Director wrote: "Perhaps you are
unaware that NECN did not extend an invitation to Dr. Stein."
Is this right? Before accepting NECN's assertion we suggest you look
at the letter received by Jill that states:
"The Massachusetts Environmental Collaborative (the 55 organizational
members of the Environmental League of Massachusetts), New England
Cable News, and the Kennedy School of Government enthusiastically
invite you to attend what will likely be the first televised forum for
candidates campaigning for the office of Govemor in 2002."
Several conversations with the Massachusetts Environmental
Collaborative confirmed the invitation. Would you have regarded this
as a legitimate invitation? We think it is. The original letter may
be viewed by going to:

and clicking the "View the original invitation" link at the top of the
page.
