| Important Issues: |
| Economics and Environment
Bob Kinsey supports building sustainable infrastructure, tax incentives for wind power, organic agriculture, safe ranching practices, and mass transit, instead of huge tax breaks for rich corporate executives. We must rejoin the rest of the world in planning an economy that does not harm our world.
Health Care
Bob Kinsey supports single payer health care for every citizen through private care and public insurance, without cost increase. In addition, restoring a clean and safe environment will help to prevent illness and improve quality of life. Read more.
Nuclear Power
The inclusion of nuclear power as a part of the Denver Climate Action Plan is ill-advised. Read more.
Sustainable Agriculture
Big business priorities of the dominant parties are hurting family food producers and lowering the quality of organic standards. We need policies that support small farmers and organic growers sustaining the health of their land.
National Security
Preemptive war and unilateral action are not smart security. Instead, they paint a bull's-eye on our nation. The Bush Administration promoted the Iraq war with flawed analysis. Protection of human rights through international cooperation will bring about a safer world. Read more. |

Truthfulness
If you believe the two major parties represent you and work to fashion the world into "your kind of place", then you should vote for either one of them. However, most likelyyou doubt that or you wouldn't have read this far.For instance, we have a Constitution which Senators, Congresspersons, and the Executive Branch take and oath to protect and defend. But neither party has made accountability to that document a reality. The Democrats sold you out when they took impeachment off the table. The Republicans sold you out when they promulgated the lies that tricked the Congress into vaguely giving up their war powers numerous times. Your tax money has been committed to deeds that shame us as a people and the leaders have lied or acquiesced to lies for decades. Republicans would shrink and ultimately eliminate entitlements that have been a part of American life for 70 years. Democrats will not stand for change that threatens their corporate sponsors.Greens care for the future. They understand the critical need for change! Register Green. Bob Kinsey of the Green Party offers a REAL ALTERNATIVE. |
