| Important Issues: | |
| The need for Green leadership in Oregon and the USA is more urgent each day.
End imperialist wars that enrich oil companies at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. Establish a national health system of community based medicine with single payer insurance. Train enough family/community medicine and general practitioners to meet the needs of a health society. Fund an education system that recognizes that investment in developing the full potential of our youth is an investment in our future. There is no societal justification for tuition at any level. Invest in transportation that de-emphasizes the single-passenger automobile. Maintain and expand the rail system to reduce dependence on long-haul freight trucking. Make the USA a hemp exporter. End the import of hemp products which we can efficiently produce at home. Decriminalize all drug use. Provide appropriate medical treatment for addicts. Shut down the small arms export business that fuels global violence. Recognize the right of all workers to self organize, including exploited agricultural workers, home care aides, undocumented persons, and workers in Viet Nam, China and Indonesia. The USA should not trade with countries that practice slavery through military intervention in labor struggles. Enforce environmental and safety rules. No more ecological and human disasters due to the rapaciousness of unregulated fossil fuel companies. The occupation of Iraq continues and while we escalate the carnage in Afghanistan. As a peace candidate, I pledge to never vote for the “supplemental” funding bills that finance the war against the people of Iraq and Afghanistan and I will never vote for an increase in the military budget. I will work to get USA troops out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Colombia, Cuba, Japan, Korea and scores of other nations. There is an alternative. Invest in healthcare, education, housing, transportation infrastructure, environmental restoration, energy independence and conservation. Stop investing in death and international larceny. Vote Peace! Vote Green! |
