Sustainability is Security. Humanity must do everything possible to stabilize the climate. Climate change is a public health and safety issue of epic proportions. It has been called the World War III of our time. Cutting way back on carbon emissions is a key step, requiring a change in our lifestyle as U.S. citizens. Scientifically, there is no debate that this is a real issue, that human behavior affects the climate, and that public policy and private action must be geared toward recognizing and correcting the problem.

Brandon, a 13-year-old, wrote to me. He was so precocious, and his questions so concise, that I repeat them here for those of you who are interested. Thank you again, Brandon!
I thank the General Assembly at the California State Green Party Meeting for voting to put my name on the California Primary Ballot. I was ill and unable to attend the meeting and the presidential forum. Reportedly, Dr. Stein was particularly gracious and compassionate regarding my lack of attendance, and I thank her deeply.
I have been very busy with this campaign, as my work schedule allows. I am accepting offers of help and support via info@mesplay.org and via the donations page.
I am delighted to soon be on the California ballot!
On September 28, 2011 the Global Labor Institute of Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations released a report warning that the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline will not be a major source of US jobs, and may actually destroy more jobs than it creates.

Kent P. Mesplay, PhD, will join other Green Party leaders, candidates, and state party delegates in Alfred, New York, for the party's 2011 Annual National Meeting at Alfred University from Friday, August 5 to Sunday, August 7.
The theme of the meeting is "Building a Green Economy -- No War. No Coal. No Gas. No Nukes."
For his birthday Dr. Kent P. Mesplay, candidate for President of the U.S. requests all people stand in solidarity with the activist prisoners working for humane treatment in California prisons! Although the hunger strike has ended we must continue to support them so that their needs are met by the Brown administration and his CDCR. Together we can remake America into a truly humane nation of people who put our people before the profits of the Prison Industrial Complex.
