Dear Friend,
I ran for president to help forge another direction for our country. I wanted to discuss things I felt needed to be discussed that otherwise were not. I feel that we have done that.
I stayed in the race to take advantage of every possible effort to share our message. With caucuses and primaries now about to begin, however, we will not be able to garner enough votes in the election to elevate our conversation any more than it is now. The primaries might be tightly contested among the top contenders, and I don’t want to get in the way of a progressive candidate winning any of them.
As of today, therefore, I’m suspending my campaign.
My deepest gratitude to those of you who supported my candidacy for all these months. The ideas we discussed are important, and I hope they’ll find seed in other ways and in other campaigns. From rescuing underserved, at risk and traumatized children; to proactively waging an agenda for peace and making humanity itself America’s greatest ally; to integrative health models within our health care system and incentivizing health; to reparations to achieve deeper reconciliation between races; to repudiating the corporate aristocracy; to the creation of a more mindful politics; to changing from an economic to a humanitarian bottom line; to initiating a season of moral repair—we brought issues to the fore that I hope contributed to the campaign season. I remain as committed to them going forward as I was on the day we began.
I learned many things about America during this campaign. I’m more convinced than ever that we’re a good and decent people, that democracy matters, and that what our country has always stood for is worth struggling for. I will continue in that struggle, and I know that you will too.
To our dedicated volunteers, generous contributors, and loyal staff who worked so hard—I will hold you in my heart forever. There are no words for how grateful I am for your kindness and generosity. May you be blessed on your journeys as you have so blessed mine.
To the remaining Democratic candidates, I wish you all my best on the road ahead. It was an honor being among you. Whichever one of you wins the nomination, I will be there with all my energy and in full support.
Finally, these are not times to despair; they are simply times to rise up. Things are changing swiftly and dramatically in this country, and I have faith that something is awakening among us. A politics of conscience is still yet possible. And yes….love will prevail.
With all my heart I thank you, Marianne
Another Democrat bites the dust. Oh well.
Wait, she was still running who knew LOL..Guess the love beads didnt help her much in the commie party
I truly am embarrassed because I don’t know who this woman is........
She never recovered from her statement that President Trump pardoned Charles Manson. She was my personal fav. LOL!
New Age Democrat. I guess she found no takers.
Oh no, the clown car just got lighter. The question is, did it gain or lose average IQ points? Tough call...
Who are these people?
I figure that certain characters only crawl out of the woodwork to “run for president” in order to get free money and attention.

Yikes.
Well, I suppose cats need homes.
She didn’t see this coming?
/s
So ... we’re not going to see the televised Love/Hate battle? Bummer!
This chick is as phony as a three dollar bill and crazier than a sh!t house rat.
In other words - she doesn’t get much enjoyment out of life, does she? What a loon!
