ANDREA HARUM-SCHIAVONI
The Green Party of New York State has a ban on the policy of endorsing Democratic and Republican candidates, because those parties do not agree with the Green Party’s worldwide Four Pillars of Social and Economic Justice; Grassroots Democracy; Ecological Wisdom, and Nonviolence/Peace.
Andrea H. Schiavoni, a Democrat running for Southampton Town Justice, has taken advantage of New York State Election law by placing herself on the Green Party line. New York State election does not require Schiavoni to inform Southampton Green Party members who signed her petitions that the candidate is not in their party or endorsed by their party.
When deciding to vote for Schiavoni in Southampton on the Green Party line, it is a good idea to share the national Green Party’s three goals in the area of criminal justice, which are to:

Toxic rust tide spreads across Peconic estuary. Associated with: climate change; high nitrogen levels; runoff. 
(excerpt from)
Riverhead Local
Toxic rust tide spreads across entire Peconic estuary, could be lethal
to estuary’s fish, marine life
Riverhead Local /
by Katie Blasl/ Aug 23, 2016A dangerous algal bloom has spread across the Peconic Bay and all of its waterways at densities that have not been seen since 2012, when a similar bloom triggered a large die-off of scallops.
Rust tide has spread from East Hampton to Riverhead waterways over the past week, posing a threat to marine life in the Peconic, according to the Gobler Laboratory at Stony Brook University.
Rust tide algae, known as Cochlodinium, is more toxic and more dangerous to marine life than the red tide algae that triggered the historic bunker fish and turtle kills last summer…“When we have extended summer heat as we have seen this summer, a heavy rust tide often follows,” he said.
He [Christopher Gobler, director of the Gobler Laboratory] added that his lab has identified climate change as a major factor in the frequency of harmful algal blooms in local waterways…High levels of nitrogen in local waterways is a “second, equally important driving factor,” Gobler says…

Hillary Clinton, Jill Stein, and The Green Party…how to make peace, or at least progressive harmony.
Harmony:
Message from a Jill Stein supporter to
reluctant Hillary Clinton supporters
Kimberly Wilder deliberates over Hillary Clinton and Jill Stein
Let’s succeed together in making this country a better place for humanity. Let’s work together, and separately, to send out the best possible progressive mandate for our politicians to respond to in the Fall of 2016.
Electoral politics in America often brings out the worst in people. It is frustrating that activists, leftists, and progressives who work together some of the time, often get utterly torn apart in the excitement (and fear) surrounding who will be the next President.
For me, the world of Facebook has been the most frustrating experience of the 2016 presidential cycle. I have been shouted down by a friend who is a feminist, artist, and Hillary Clinton supporter. She posts Hellfire missives about why we must all vote for Hillary Clinton, because Trump is so bad. And, she sends out subtle, and not so subtle, messages that it is not okay to vote for Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential candidate. Read more »

Green Party: America’s Peace Party. Want to say that on a bumper sticker? You can, by stopping by our Cafe Press shop here: “Green Party America’s Peace Party” bumper sticker at Cafe Press
In 2006, as Greens in New York prepared for the gubernatorial election, the phrase evolved “Green Party — America’s Peace Party.” Greens in Suffolk liked the idea so much, that local Greens Ian Wilder and Kimberly Wilder decided to turn it into a bumper sticker. That bumper sticker is still for sale at Cafe Press. Read more »
