http://europe.newsweek.com/russian-green-activists-brand-us-green-party-accomplice-putin-496359?rm=euRussia's Green activists are accusing U.S. Green Party leader Jill Stein of neglecting their struggle, after a series of statements she made, calling for closer cooperation with the Kremlin at a dinner with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Stein has made statements, echoing the Kremlins criticism of the U.S., as her programme calls American policy in the Middle East a futile quest for military and economic domination, while she has urged for collaboration with Moscow at a dinner with Putin last December. Stein is currently campaigning as a candidate for White House ahead of the November elections.
Leading Russian environmental activists Yevgenia Chirikova and Nadezhda Kutepova posted an open letter on Tuesday, expressing alarm at Steins apparent one-sided criticisms, asking her to clarify her position on Facebook.
As environmentalists and human rights defenders, we often support Green candidates all over the world when they run for local, national or continental election, the two activists wrote. However, we are asking ourselves if we can support your candidature for the Presidency of the United States of America.
We have carefully read your program and your website and we have to admit that we are deeply shocked by the position you expressed during your visit to Moscow and your meeting with Mr. Vladimir Putin, they added.

(32,610 posts)6. I am sure she got money but
I want to know if it was more or less than Flynn's $40K.
My guess is it was about $10K or even less.
