Major Issues
End the War
No more funding of this misbegotten and tragic
war. Restrict funding to bringing the troops home safely,
establishing a regional/international security presence, and rebuilding
Iraqi infrastructure. Fully fund programs to take care of our
returning veterans.
Economic Justice

Pentagon. Repeal Bush tax
cuts and restore fair tax policy.
End corporate tax breaks.
Repeal trade agreements offshoring our jobs. Institute national single-payer
health care so all Americans have access to decent medical care.
Restoring Democracy
Repeal Patriot Act, and
all attacks on our constitutional rights. Institute public financing of all
federal elections. Press for
alternate voting methods (IRV, range voting) to break two-party chokehold
on our elections.
Energy and the Environment
Repeal tax breaks for oil & gas industry. Increase federal funding for renewable energy technologies. Increase government funding of energy conservation programs. Join world community in fighting global warming. Restore & expand regulations on polluters.
